• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hey all,

I havent flown Multiplayer in ages. What is best? What do you recommend?

And what do you recommend for voice chat?

My Nephew would like to do a Multiplayer flight. Would be fun to get back into some Multiplayer flying again.


Many thanks...

I personally prefer JoinFS to anything else for these reasons:

1. I fly primarily military missions with Tacpack. JoinFS supports this not perfectly but reasonably well.
2. We sometimes have between 10 and 20 people in a session. This would reduce either a P3D or FSX direct connect session to a whimpering mess and crash to desktop. Six players is about the max that you can get on a direct connect session stably.
3. JoinFS Supports FSX, FSX Steam, P3D, P3Dv4, and X-Plane. I personally am flying quite a bit of X-Plane lately.
4. JoinFS is extremely stable if all players lock their frame rates below 35. If a player has his Frame rates set above 35, He/She will be jerky/jumpy when you are in close proximity. Similar to the FSHost "Jitterbug".
5. Setting up a 24/7 server is a breeze with JoinFS.

If you need any help or are interested in test sessions, please shoot me a PM and I will be happy to oblige.
