Hi fellas,

I'm terribly mad since a couple of fellas (inc myself) yesterday tried to play a bit together.
After 2,5 hours trying everything imaginable we gave up. First of all I'd like to say I'm not a newbie. Been into simming for nearly 20 years and been fiddling with computers and technology since the beginning of the 80´s.

I won´t say anything about the GUI other than you now how I feel about it. Also I don´t want the standard fellas telling me how great it is. It's not, period.

Now, we set up all firewalls and routers to admit the game ports. We first tried to host in the standard way which didn't lead us anyway. Time outs and launcher crashes all the way. When we finally connected this way the game didn't launch

Then we downloaded the scripts from Banks´ and tried that way but everytime we ended up starting in the water?! Atleast we managed to launch the sim.

Unfortunately since the late hour and great frustration we didn't follow up scientifically on this by taking notes of everything we tried.

Now I know there is a way to get this to work because I see many more playing on dedicated servers and I've flown on the SYN server before but why in the name of "someone" must it be so counter intuitive to start a game? I know it has great possibilities but right now I´m so fed up with it that its probably going out the backdoor never to be considered again. I'll only have so much time in RL and I prefer to put it ón something that actually works, like DCS, ARMA2 and RoF.


Well enough of the steamblowing, if anyone has similar experience and have the solution, like, oh right we had the same and we forgot to...., feel free to let me in on the secret.

All the best to all fellow simmers.
