Hi All

 

I'm having a terrible time connecting to multiplayer sessions with Vatsim.

 

Windows XP, Pentium 2.7, FS2004 9.1

 

My steps are:

 

--Start SB Relay.

 

--Launch Flight Simulator

 

--Open Multiplayer Session

 

--Type “127.0.0.1â€

-:¦:-•:*'""*:•.-:¦:-

> --click Modules -> FSHost -> Run

I recommend at first point, don't run this in FS.

First try "SB Host.exe" see sublect 4. Squawkbox "SB Host.exe" at Troubleshooting at http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?p=2262#2262

 

Probably it's not your issue, but just to exclude one more possible trouble source.
