the multiplayer how to thread.

That's what I needed ... thank you. I think it is all fixed up now.  That's a nice addition. Do we need anything like this for FSHost? Or anything else? The FAQ page is there just for these kinds of things. So when the subject comes up on the forum, we can "point" people in that direction rather than repeating it.  Anytime we see something like this, let me know and I'll make sure it is archived in the FAQs.

Doug,
TeamSpeak is the voice communications half of multi-player.  FSHostClient, after you get that setup, is the other half that connects all players to the host server so that their airplanes can see one another in the sim.  The usual sequence is to start FSX, Start FSHostClient to get on the multi-player server.  After I'm 'on' the server I then minimize FSX and start TeamSpeak and connect to that server.  Maximize FSX again and now your in multi-player with voice communications.  When other A/C are near you (within 10 miles) you will see the labels flashing over their A/C, these have to be turned on in FSX setup to show, about a couple of miles you should be able to see the actual aircraft.  Of course you can talk to each other over the TeamSpeak program.  In fact you can use TeamSpeak without being on multi-player just to chat with others.

Thank`s great help 

[Doug]

WeDGe ... Any option you want here. The link Francois gave us lays it out nicely. I could copy that to ours giving them full credit, you could put up pics and we could then "link" to FSHosts info.  Let me know what you need.

Also, we have a special 'instance' of FSHost running for RTMM now, but I think Darryl is still trying to work out sometheing specific for RTMM. There's a RTMM TeamSpeak session rinning as well.

Francois,
probably some where here in the forums but I'm getting old and forgetful.  Could you post the 'numbers' for TS and FSHost for the server at your site?
 

[Francois]

Actually I was leaving that for Darryl to do...... maybe a miscommunication :-)

Why are you pointing to the old Teamspeak 2? The current version is Teamspeak 3.

I think probably because as Wedge says it is simple to use, works every time and covers all the functions that his multi-player site needs.  Kind of a 'if it ain't broke' type of thing.

I only have TeamSpeak 2 installed on my server for now......
