Can't See Multiplayer Plane On Slave Monitor

Postby mill-j » Mon Jan 11, 2021 5:32 am

Hello Everybody.


My friend is running Flightgear 2019.1.1 on Windows 10 with 3 identical monitors. We figured out how to run a master and two slaves to create a really nice cockpit. However when we fly multiplayer he can only see my plane on the master monitor and not on the slaves. I've searched the forum, and tried finding stuff on the wiki, no luck. What are we overlooking? The settings are:

Master Settings:
Code: Select all
--native-fdm=socket,out,60,localhost,5500,udp
--native-ctrls=socket,out,60,localhost,5501,udp
--native-fdm=socket,out,60,localhost,5502,udp
--native-ctrls=socket,out,60,localhost,5503,udp

Slave 1:
Code: Select all
--native-fdm=socket,in,60,,5500,udp
--native-ctrls=socket,in,60,,5501,udp
--fdm=null
--disable-sound
--prop:/sim/ai/enabled=false
--prop:/sim/ai-traffic/enabled=false
--prop:/sim/rendering/bump-mapping=false
--prop:/sim/rendering/draw-otw=false

Slave 2:
Code: Select all
 
--native-fdm=socket,in,60,,5502,udp
--native-ctrls=socket,in,60,,5503,udp
--fdm=null
--disable-sound
--prop:/sim/ai/enabled=false
--prop:/sim/ai-traffic/enabled=false
--prop:/sim/rendering/bump-mapping=false
--prop:/sim/rendering/draw-otw=false



Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I don't see any multiplayer lines. Have you added the multiplayer IN command (--multiplay=in,10,mpserverXX.flightgear.org,5000) to master and both slaves? You'd only add the OUT (and IN) command to the master (to send his aircraft to the server only once), but all slaves also need the IN command to receive multiplayer data from the server in order to display it.
