mtmikepsl 5 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Well now I was just curious as to why we only see a handful of pilots out at Andras Field and I think I may have found one reason. Advertisement: http://www.aerosoft....47615200,D11213 After reading the advertisement on the Aerosoft Store page it mentions nothing of multiplayer community. It only tells you about the "option" of purchasing an air park plot. IMO it should be advertised as a multiplayer community and that Aerosoft is supporting the VAE server and information on how to obtain membership to the server. Like I said there is nothing of this unless you refer to this forum. EDIT: Maybe we could make a video showing someone playing online as well as a step by step process of installing and setting up everything. I would do this but I do not have access to any video cameras at this time EDIT: I have now obtained a video camera and should have it in a week and will start working on a how to video on setting up everything. Maybe something like this: <Multiplayer Support Via VAE server> Step 1 Visit http://www.virtual-aviation.org/main/ and register to obtain your username and password Step 2 You will receive all the pertinent information to log onto the servers via email Step 3 Once registration is complete you will need to download Teamspeak 2 for Voice Communications at the following link and set it up per the VAE website instructions http://www.virtual-a...ation/teamspeak Step 4 Download and install the SquawkWin software at the following link and install it per the VAE website instructions http://www.virtual-a...n/pilot-clients Step 5 Start up Teamspeak and log onto the VAE server then start up your Flightsim software and initiate Squawkwin, log on and your done I think Aerosoft could even sell more product if it is advertised as so because of the appeal of flying together with other people. Just a thought Thanks for reading!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_VAE 1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Hi Mike, I agree with you there it is not advertised and if it was we probably would be seeing alot of members, and also its about keeping the current online members active (off course we do this with events etc) As for the video on setting everything up. there is already a video that shows you exactly how to get setup with the client. it would be found under the Pilot Clients page Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtmikepsl 5 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 I guess after only having 1 reply to this it shows that people really are not interested in flying online. What a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Smith 1116 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Well all the events are there for everyone to see, pinned to the top of the events forum clearly marked at times people asked for. I asked people what events they'd like to see and no-one bothered to reply. Theres been events every evening of the week because people moan they cant make x day or y day, yet z day when they supposedly can make it they dont bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chompski 20 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I have tried to find the post but I haven't been successful so I am relying on my memory:wacko: I am sure that one of the blocked ports doesn't matter- I have a blocked port and it isn't a problem- I am sure the guys at VAE will be more helpful than me-heres to flying with you soon.

Robert_VAE 15 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 same here. Your 55008-55009 ports don't have to be open to use the server, we have not found anything different with them closed or open, but if we do we will let you know.

Tobus 161 Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Your 55008-55009 ports don't have to be open to use the server, we have not found anything different with them closed or open, but if we do we will let you know. Regards I've read somewhere on the VAE forum (I think) that those ports are used for the weatherdata to be transmitted from VAE to the user. I can't find the post anymore, but if this is true, it wouldn't matter much if you are flying with real weather on by default, using either FSX internal weather generator or using a 3rd party add-on. If NOT flying with real weather enabled, I would suspect VAE wanting to overrule this. If the port is indeed used for this but is closed on the user's end, the user would be flying without real weather. Tobus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert_VAE 15 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 thanks guys for the help, much appreciated. Your weather does not use those ports and it gets automatically overridden to real world weather when you login to the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
