Needing help

[Clarindo]

I am getting my feet wet in Multiplayer but it looks now that if I proceed further I may just drown...

One thing I am very cautious about is experimenting live but not interfering at all with any ongoing activities.

Have so far been able to connect and use FS9, FSNav, TeamSpeak 2, use published flight plans and flown a couple of times and did not disturb anyone.

1) Am trying to use ATC Radar Screen and with FSHost Spy have actually joined some sessions and had a players flight info list. The problem is I can zoom in on airports, runways, etc. but do not know how to locate any ongoing flight. Other than the airport runways the window is sure black and empty.How could I locate and view that ongoing traffic?

2) Have downloaded and tried to use Juneau Airport without success. Do I need additional files (AFCAD? did not download any?)

3) Have never tried to use the Ctrl+Shift+ D, T, F or O afraid to run into collision and interfere with others. How could I use it just to be able to observe ongoing traffic?

4) Last but not least - maybe I should have different posts for these questions?

Everybody has been most helpful in opening up a whole new world for one who has been flightsimming for years -just on his own.

Thanks a million.

Thanks a lot, Geoff - that was a big help and it is a beautiful setup.

I will be keying in and mostly observing so as not to interfere with those more experienced until I get my flying language polished up.

I have a son who is living in Weybridge, London and about once a year I visit him. Unfortunately his birthday - that's when I go - is smack in the middle of winter.

Again thanks a million for your courtesy and assistance.

Hey,
Can't help you with question 1.
Q2: I have attached a situation file to this message. Save it to your My Documents\Flight Simulator files folder and it will be in your select flight menu. It will place you at the visitors lodge in the default Cessna amphib. BTW: The airport does show up in FSNav
I actually created the scenery and wasn't able to import any facility information into it. Also needs an AFCAD File, I am no afcad expert and if someone want's to create one I would be most grateful.
Q3: You have an option to join as an Observer in FS. You will see this option at the point where you put in the IPAddress. Somewhere near the bottom there is a bullet piont from Observer.
Observer means you show up in the chat box as connected and you can chat with other pilots on the session, but your aircraft is completely invisible to any other pilots. This also means you can not collide with other pilots.

Hope they have helped you Sir.

The FSHost server is run by me also. (It is located in my spare bedroom near Liverpool UK) I noticed you have been on the server a few times of late. You are more than welcome to go on there whenever you wish, you will always find one of our regulars online and very willing to assist in any issues you have.

Great having you along..... Your next step is to join on of our events. :-)
