(For example "C\Program Files\FSHostSpy" would be fine) - Go to the directory you extracted the files to, and run the program (FSHostSpy11.exe). - FSHostSpy will then show all FSHost servers currently online. Select a server to show the game settings, player info, and flight plans. Double-click a server to copy the server's IP address to the clipboard, and then paste it into FS2002 or FS2004 and join the game. - For more info, please see the online Help and FAQ files, as well as the user forums, at the web site http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshostspy ------------------- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ------------------- - Windows 95 and up. - FS2002 or FS2004, to be able to join a game. - Does NOT require FSHost to be installed if you just want to play without hosting. -------------------- PRICE AND LICENSING -------------------- - Free! - FSHostSpy is PostcardWare! --------------------- WHAT IS POSTCARDWARE? --------------------- "PostcardWare is freeware that requires only that the user send the software provider a postcard as a form of payment. The idea is to humanize the transaction, remind the user that someone else shared something freely, and remind the provider that someone is actually using the creation." --www.whatis.com If this program made your day, then you can make my day by mailing me a postcard from wherever you live. You can write anything you want on the postcard, or nothing at all. I'll put it on my refrigerator, and then when my friends come over, I'll say, "Look, there's somebody living there that's using my program!" How cool would that be? -) I get no money of any kind for this program, but I get a big smile on my face whenever I open my mailbox and find a postcard. It makes all the hard work worthwhile. You can send your postcard to Russell Gilbert 116/308 Pitt St. Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia ------------------------------ DONATIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED! ------------------------------ Donations help me continue making free software for Flight Simulator.
