Ok I have FSOpen and now since I waited for my account to authorize i cant get the commands to work, it doesn't kick people when they spawn in as a different airplane. And I don't know how to make the person start to talk when someone joins my server. If ANYONE can help me that would be great!!!

Alex.

Not sure about your first point, Dave Wave might put you right with that one....Copy and Paste is EASY

Put your mouse cusor to the left of the letter you want to copy, hold down left mouse button and roll over the text you need which will turn blue, then hover your mouse over the highlighted text, press your right mouse button ONCE and an option will appear.

Then scroll down until you find the word "Copy" then LEFT mouse button ONCE to copy.

Then go up to the address bar where you put in a website address in, erase the current link in the bar, press the right mouse button once and the option will appear again but this time scroll down and click "Paste" then hopefully the web link you copied will appear, hit return/click on go and the link will take you to the page of the site you need.

Hope this helps :o)

I know how to copy and paste but i didn't where to put it.
Thanks!
And also, so you don't know how to get the commands to work or the announcements to work. I have team viewer and skype if you want to help me. That would be great!
Thanks again!!

Alex, paste into the html of your web site.

To get your server make sure you have followed the instructions exactly.

If this is to complicated for you then maybe you would be better joining another server rather then trying to run your own.

Ok nvm realized that the commands don't work on the host but I still don't know to to play the announcements. Do u just click play welcome message because I did and I asked my friends to join but they say that it doesn't talk to them or kick them if they spawn in as a plane that I assigned to kick. But thanks Dave and Andy you've helped me a lot!!!!

The software is designed for a host server, why put much work in it and decrease the performance to make it server/client software?
It's for a dedicated server

Dude on the FSopen features it says NEW Record an announcemnt to play back to users joining your session. And I just wanted to know how to do that because whenever I invite someone to my game they say that it doesn't work. That they can't hear anything

"Do I have to put myself as an admin"

"!Record
or !R Start/Finish recording an announcement.

Restricted to admins. Press !R and you will see a message saying you can start your recording. Transmit a message on the same freq the server is listening on.
Press !R to save the message.
Use !W to listen to the welcome message
You also need to select the option for users to hear this message on the main screen in Fsopen server."

Are you sure you read the instructions?

Is it so hard to read?

"Bot not responding to commands?:
The bot only listens to commands sent to the server. Therefore you cannot type commands on the server itself."

-Started up my laptop and ran FSopen on my desktop.
-Entered in my info and it said what ip i wanted to use, so i tried both.
-and after i tried both ip's on both of them it still says FSX Status: Not Running on FSopen. so yes ive read all the instructions on how to do it but it doesnt work. do you have to forward your ports??????

PC1: FSX with FSOpen Server Software.
PC2: Your flying PC.
Forward your ports to PC1's local IP adress and connect to the global IP adress via PC2(not gonna explain that)

PC2 would be the users,

Only PC2 can send commands
