Sorry, use windows......but I do have it installed on my mac. I think the most crucial thing is the MAC ID thing- gotta get that right.

Actually it is very easy on a mac. You can leave the IP address box blank and FGFS will automatically fill it in for you. If you are in the US I suggest using server 07. NOT 02!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enter in your callsign and make sure AI models are on. Congrats you are now on MP!

I'm pretty sure 05 has more bandwidth than 07.

Hi!

What exactly does not work?
- Are you invisible on the mpmap?
- Are other pilots invisible in your FG?
- Cannot you chat with other pilots?

Please copy&paste your commandline, or take a printscreen of your FGRun MP setup.

Cheers,
Gijs

What are we supposed to see on that picture? I do not see your commandline, nor the launcher...

that network is not faded which means mp is on but no pilots are on near ksfo which according to the mpmap is a lie

Hmm :idea: So, do you appear on the mpmap? Does this happen with all aircraft (I know I have an issue with an aircraft that seems to block mp). Also, make sure you actually get a screenshot of the launcher and/or command line up, so that one of us can better help you.

I take it you're launching from FGRun...

You need to set your FGFS networking / multiplayer stuff so that your hostname is not used in the parameters but, rather, your LAN IP address (probably begins with 192. or 10.). Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you could set up your perimeter router (or other relevant network kit) to enable it to resolve your machine's hostname.

Hope it helps :-)

Cheers,
Mattt.

And you won't always see everyone on the MP map because of the servers not being perfectly connected.

Yeah, and we still have that huge issue with server02, where it's absolutely flooded, meaning that it doesn't connect well at all.

Ya, and to be honest multiplayer is a lot better without all the kids who play around on server 02.
