That seems to work as it should, or at least as I think it should :-). I'm not usually a Windows user, and I haven't done more than a superficial test. Perhaps some more regular Windows users on this list could really try to break it???

Quoting Vivian Meazza : Fred Vivian Meazza a écrit : What's wrong/missing in fgrun ? It seems to default to in,10,localhost,5000. Not the end of the world, but the solution (in Advanced/Networks) is not self-evident. Perhaps having 2 points of entry to MP is a little confusing? I changed the default host by retrieving the real host name. Could you tell me if it works for you ? ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Win32/fgrun-win32-20051204.zip Hmmm, not consistently. I expected to be able to put the hostname= to, say, pigeond.net, the in port to 5000 and out to 5002. In which case the in address is still 'localhost'(which you can't see). This requires a user to guess that he needs to go to advanced/networks to sort it out. If on the other hand, all is left blank, then if you open advanced/networks then the local computer name is shown. If this page is now filled in correctly, all is well. I think a bit more work is required to make this user-proof. Did you had a look on the command line. Here, there is no 'localhost' anymore and I was able to join the server without having to go to the Advanced section. Uncheck then recheck the multiplayer option to make sure. -Fred ___ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

RE: [Flightgear-users] multiplayer screenshot
Martin Hello Vivian: A superb afternoon with multiplayer! Should the frame rate drop as the numbers of players join in? I wish I could say 'no', but the fact is that it does. You will see a marked drop in frame rate as someone joins, then it will go up again after they are initialised, but not to the original rate. I'd like to think that could be handles better, and perhaps it will be when/if we update MP.

Vivian What I find weird is that planes that show up fine in single user mode cause decrease of framerates when viewed in multiple users mode. Take the MD-11 for example. Eventhough it is a resource hogger, people can still get decent framerates with it when they are using it alone. However, as soon as someone online is using it, everybody's framerate drops to zero.

I think the reason is that your own model is loaded before runtime. Trying to do load any model during runtime is a heavy hit on frame rate; to try to load the MD11 is just too much for any but the most powerful systems. Unless we get this sorted somehow, MP is barely fit for purpose, IMO.
