How to connect to Multiplayer..
1)Start up Flight Sim (2002 or 2004 which ever you have.)
2)Once you in the main diplay for Flight Sim, Click on Multiplayer.
3) Click on open Multiplayer Session
4) Type in a name of choice ( I recommend that if you are a member on this forum you use the same name in the multiplayer on theAkroma Server. Then type in the server IP address, I am connecting to the Akroma Server so I typed in the server IP 66.105.121.185 and then click search.
5)After about 5 seconds the server will show up on your screen,
click on it and then click join. Also make sure that you do not have join as observer checked or nobody will see you.
6) Once you click join it may a few moments to connect to the server depending on your connection speed. Once your connected a chat window will show up for you to talk to fellow Flight Simmers.
Trouble Shooting
If you have any trouble connecting to the server make sure
1) Your firewall is not blocking your connection to the server.
2) You have an internet connection.
3) You have the right IP address.
4) Also make sure that fellow Flight Simmers firewalls are not blocking your IP address and port, if person is blocking you, you will not be able to connect to the server, due to the way multiplayer communicates with computers connected to the server. If you feel that you are not able to connect do to another persons firewall, please Raligard or my self (B737), via pm.

Is there any way to host your own session?

either download fshost or host it on fs9 but it kills your internet connection and really sucks if you have dial up. my suggestion just use akroma

that is most likely do to some ones firewall blocking your computer from talking to their's. The only thing is to tell people to all certain ports on there firewall.
