Thank you Peter for your prompt attention as always. I will carry out more tests and keep you posted but good to know that it works OK in P3D v 4 anyway. Cheers Michael. Model visibility in P3D v4 can sometimes be lost due to the models having been built for FS2004. Although I don't know why it occ...

Hi Peter, hope you're well! Added a couple of recent logs from MODsim for you. I had a couple of crashes due to another user letting loose with TacPack weapons when my TP wasn't switched on ( File = log-previous ). Probably unavoidable in all honesty but kept the log anyway for info purposes. The fi...

I'd just like to be the first to say welcome back Peter, I'm sure I speak for many when I say that I'm so glad you've decided to open the forum back up and continue development of JoinFS.

If you need any help or feedback from myself or any of us at MODsim, don't hesitate to ask

Just an FYI Peter from a sortie last night at MODsim: A generally successful night. CBY07 and CBY05 were joined over the North Sea by VLY02. CBY04 came on server, but has TacPack issues launching missiles with his Typhoon, so didn't join the exercise. The key to the successful use of TacPack in Join...

Thanks Peter!

Hi Peter, hope all's well! I've had a request from a member of our org who operates a squadron ( VIII, RAF ) using the E3 Sentry aircraft. The Sentry fulfils a command and control role and has the FSX radar modified to be inside the VC, with a 300+nm range. The pilot has asked if the JoinFS detectio...

Thanks for the info Peter, much appreciated!

Hi Peter, A minor issue that we've noticed on the new version: upon clicking the program's desktop icon to run it can take a minute or even two to start up and for the window to appear. This results in uncertainty over whether it's actually been clicked or not. Is there any reason for this as none o...

Hi Peter, hope all's well! Just writing in to ask for a procedural for how to share cockpit controls and functions. We did a test tonight at MODsim, and it was tricky to figure out who had control of what. I lost all control of my brakes at one point, and they never came back even after leaving the ...

There are a number of ways you can do this: 1) Start a Multiplayer session as an ATC Controller, save the flight. Then you can access that saved flight in Free Flight for use with JoinFS and your radar of choice. 2) Download this tower, which can be moved about as per a normal aircraft using the sle...

Hi Peter, This is just to inform you that I was able to extensively test multiple helicopter types last night with six or seven other members of our org' on-line. Despite using various weather scenarios ( some RW static, others RW updating, others still no weather ) and despite a good hours' worth o...

There's only really way that you could do this "live"; 1) Have the cameraman as Bob and yourself as the pilot in the same JoinFS session, with the cameraman using FSX's AI view to maintain a track on your position in the sky while filming. He then broadcasts the footage live at the same ti...

Well that definitely adds weight to the theory. The next test version may be a little bit longer. ;) Peter Hi Peter, I did try to send a PM but it vanished. If we use v1.1.8 is it still stable otherwise? The shared controls are obviously out but if we share cockpit via the main aircraft page of Joi...

Just seen this post and wanted to add that I've noticed lag in other aircraft on occasion and discovered that the pilot had brought up their Teamspeak window to read a message or opened up an Internet screen to Google something. It seems as though performing any other action while inside FSX can cau...

Share cockpit from the aircraft list is still there in 1.1.8 but greyed out, presumably because of the permissions system now in place. I don't know if anyone at MODsim knew that aircraft had to be selected individually Peter for shared controls - when I tested it I simply jumped into the cockpit of...

Hi Peter, Understood mate. I should add that externally, 1.1.8 was reported as smooth as ever and passenger mode was likely unaffected. I had not realised that passenger mode and shared controls were distinct from each other until reading another recent post here. I think that one of the problems he...

Hi Peter, MODsim did a major test of the cockpit sharing controls last night. I wasn't present for it but I'm afraid there were lots of problems: Variable altitude differences in cockpit, over 1,000ft at times. Control surfaces reversed for some users ( visually, not in terms of actual aerodynamics ...

Briefly, the follow distance is a setting that details how far away you would be from another aircraft if you chose to "Follow" then using the selector button in the JoinFS menu. The Circle of Activity slider sets how far away you want aircraft on the network to be simulated, which can be ...

Hi folks, Just an observation from last night's flying at MODsim. I've been lucky enough to beta test Dino Cattaneo's new Typhoon ( it's great ). Last night the chaps were all using FSX and TacPack to hammer a few ground targets with bullets. I was in P3D without Tacpack, but with the objects scanne...

Hi Peter, a recent log from one of our rotary pilots detailing some of their issues, with log entries and description; Report following further test flights 010317. WAT04, WAT06, and intermittently WAT01. Dan started at EGOS awaiting us to join, at this stage he had not sync'd any weather. I then jo...
