multiplayer problem

[jyarddog 0]

In multiplayer- FSX I cannot see anyone else I am flying with. They can see me.\

 

Yes- firewall accepts FSx. Yes- I have dmz open.

 

Being flynig on this particular site for a couple of years. suddenly in teh past couple of months I now have this problem.

 

I took out fsx.cfg and the txt and let FSX rebuild the cfg.... same problem.

 

I found some kind of multiplayer.dll, and I had a friend send me his..... same problem.

 

could this be a problem with  simconnect?

 

BTW- If I switch over to FS9  everything is fine. But then FS9 handles multiplayer differently.

 

With FSX I use FShost. I've tried other sites - same.

 

Interesting info---->  I start and join a site with FShost. Other players are there. the print for each player is in black font. I start FSX. When FSX is loaded and starts.... everyone's print chagnes to red in FShost... saying something like could not load xxx's plae- switching to default... "

 

This does not happen until I go to an airport where a player actually is. Hope I don't have to reinstall FSx. Might have to. Ideas? Bob

@jyarddog mhmm thats weird....I do not know much about multiplayer but it sounds like you might have to reinstall FSX

Yep- It's starting to look like that. I'll save out my addon's and sceneries. The only thing I cna now think of is it must be something I did or clicked on. let's ee... what were the last few hundred things I did before this happened? hahahaha!

had to reinstall FSX and of course then had to go through all the bumps and grinds of sdk install, sp1, acceleration, sp2a etc. multiplayer works again. bob
