Speedbird ATC 93 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Hello everyone, I was reading about desk pilot, and in the manual I noticed that default FSX multiplayer has its own portforwarding ability. Will this work for the aerosoft airbus? Is it possible to port forward via firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Note sure what you're referencing (no link provided), but you may have misread or misunderstood? Website 1 Website 2 EDIT: SORRY, THOSE ARE FOR SERVER SETUP NOT SURE SHARED COCKPIT. AS I RECALL, YOU HAVE TO ENTER THE PORTS YOU PLAN TO USE IN THE SHARED COCKPIT (MULTIPLAYER) SETUP PAGE. Those ports will likely work through a Software Firewall because FSX is already added as the application. However I would assume one still has to port forward the Router Ports. Without more information on what you're reading I can't address this further. Are you having a problem with forwarding your ports? The only way to Automatically Open Ports is Tunneling, and when we're researching this matter again you can read more about that in the OVPA CFD Guide. I hope this proves helpful to you!

Speedbird ATC 93 Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 I do not want to open the ports on my router as I do not want to potentially endanger other computers on the network. I was wondering if it is possible to do something like this software does: http://www.desk-pilot.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 4, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 4, 2016 The AS approach is peer to peer connection instead of a client/server architecture. For both ways you would need open communication ports, so I don't see a difference here (unless of course they tunnel all their stuff through port 80 which is already open on your machine. But that wouldn't make it any more secure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
