Hi Tom, thanks for your answer.

The issue turned out to be much simpler: Multiplayer requires DirectPlay, which is deactivated by default in Win10 (in Apps and Features - Windows Features - Legacy Components).

Switched it on, and now it works :)

Hi,

The fuel panel door only opens when the engines are off (makes sense not to refuel with the engines running, huh?) I hope that's the reason; stumbled over it myself.

I do have the loader utilities available, but not the takeoff calculator (but I have the fuel planner instead); if you can't find them elsewhere, I could upload it to my Google drive for you.

But tell me - does the multiplayer thingy work for you in FS9 / Win10? Mine doesn't, and I don't know why. Have just made a post for that, which is waiting for approval.

Greetings,

I'm one of the dinosaurs still using FS2004 from time to time, for such wonderful aircraft as the RFP 747-200. I'm running it on Windows 10, and everything works just fine - except for the multiplayer function, which prevents me from flying online (Vatsim).

The "Join multiplayer session" button / menu is greyed out in the sim. Hence, Swift (Vatsim's online client for FS9) can't connect.

Here is what I already tried:

• reinstalled the simulator
  
• ran everything as administrator
  
• tried all compatibility modes of Windows 10
  
• installed DirectX 9
  
• set up port forwarding in my router as found on portforward.com
  
• installed Swift not in Program Files (x86) but in Program Files (found that in another forum)
  

So, is there anything else I could try or is it simply not possible?

Regards

Boris
