OK. Using the launcher, after you select your aircraft and starting airport you are presented with a window showing lots of options and the "Run" button on the bottom right. Above that you'll see a big load of text (which is actually what will be run to start FG). Above that text on the right is a box titled "Multiplayer" with a checkbox beside the word "Multiplayer" and a series of text input fields. To run multiplayer, do the following. 1) Check the checkbox. This enables multiplayer 2) Choose an identifier for yourself - For example "TODD". 3) Enter the multiplayer server you wish to use. If you are in Europe, use "mpserver01.flightgear.org", in Asia use "mpserver02.flightgear.org", and in the USA use "mpserver03.flightgear.org". They are all connected together, but it is best to use the one closest to you 3) In the text boxes labeled "in" and "out", enter "5000" 4) Press Run. You should see FG start up as normal. If you point a browser at http://mpmap01.flightgear.org/ and select the server you chose, you should see yourself on the "pilots" tab. In the instructions above, when you enter values, don't include the quotation marks - i.e. for your callsign you'd enter TODD rather than "TODD". If that doesn't work, your should see something in the FG text window indicating if FG can't reach the server. Typically this will be due to firewalls, and I don't know enough about Macs to help. You might want to try the FG IRC channel to see if someone there can help. -Stuart ___________________________________________________________ Switch an email account to Yahoo!
