hiya all advice needed please when i try a multiplayer session most of the time i get some thing like having trouble connecting


is there many peeps that do multiplayer sessions here ???????????

Most likely to be a firewall issue in your router. You need to allow information through certain ports that Pheonix uses in order to connect more reliably.

Read the multiplayer section on Phoenix-sim FAQ. It tells you what ports need forwarding. It's also advisable to check your NAT setting, strict NAT settings can also impair P2P connections.

Hi you need to open port : UDP : start port 9000 - finish port 9005
that should work , does on mine

you also need to run the same version of phoenix as the session host.
...then you find all the geeks hosting online sessions are on the latest beta test software that is all wierd or won't run anything like acceptable on your PC (but they are geeks, so they put up with it, or somehow tweaked it to work).

In my opinion the beta releases make the online capability almost completely useless as no sessions are hosted in the last full release version that is acceptably bug free.

Only recieved my Phoenix Wednesday, thought right do the updates, downloaded latest version the reason I moved from xtr to Phoenix was for the online capabilities, Found three sessions, one being the guys from here requiring a password , entered one of the other sessions no problem, except the guys were flying in a hurrican, everything I tried simply blew over whilst on the deck. found another session with guys flying planes in the sports hall. Had no problems. This is going to be fun!
