Running a local simulator session

I feel old now, but since the new euroscope version I can't figure out how to run a local simulator session instead of loading up via sweatbox.

 

I've started the FSD server. Now when I've connected to FSX in the past I always used localhost, so I've tried connecting to localhost with euroscope but then two things happen.

 

If I leave the "connect to vatsim" box clicked, it connects to the network. How can it do that when the server is "localhost"? I don't understand.

 

If I untick "connect to vatsim" it gives an error "Vatsim server found while non-vatsim server was requested" and then it disconnects itself again.

 

So, is there an idiots guide for people like me? I understand the reasoning behind moving out the FSD server but at the moment I really miss the "run local simulator" option in the connection tab.

You select "Start sweatbox simulator session" as the connection method.

You type "localhost" in the server box and untick "connect to VATSIM"

And that works a treat. Cheers Mike!
