FSHostSpy

I spent hours last night looking for flight sim multiplayer servers and didnt find any permanent servers, instead I found this which is quite a good idea...

What these guys have done is make a flight sim server and given it away, but when you start your server it advertises itself in a client called FSHostSpy... and others see it and join you, or start their own server.

So FSHostSpy lets you find a game... but there is a free server that goes with that somewhere if you want it.

Naturally the latency is low and servers come an go but I managed to group fly for 4 hours last night...

Perhaps there are better alternative?

This software is what we used pre FSX days but also in the early days of FSX ,the good thing that this software will let you do is join fs9 and fsx together + also you can change aircraft while in server aswell , be it that you joined or you host the game etc ,

Thanks, didnt even realise that, so FSX is FSX only... this actually lets FS8/9/X players all play together... so possibly still a good thing if you looking for a crowd

I havnt tried the server but the other guys seemed to know when I FOLLOWED another player...
