Hey everybody hope all is well! Well my buddies from VFR Prop Hops is tired of Microsoft's Gamespy multi-player and has decided to transition to a new multi-player server network called Virtual Air Traffic Multiplayer Experience . I have downloaded the software required and after a several minutes of trying to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do and several minutes of setting my router ports to accommodate the network I finally was able to log in. I honestly have mixed thoughts about it. First why dont they just use the same ports that Gamespy uses to make it easier? My first impression after seeing my first multi- player aircraft was that it is just like FSHost. I sat on the tarmac and saw another player sitting on the ground in a Cessna 172 with his nose straight in the ground. After a few minutes it straightened out and he was level again and taxing to the runway. Well while he was taxing to the runway I could see his aircraft moving in a circular motion while moving forward as if he was panning his view around. We had the same issues in the FSHost days. This makes formation flying impossible. So Im not sure if I will make the transition to VATME anytime soon. For me the latency sucks and I dont think I could deal with that. Yeah Gamespy has its flaws but I think i can deal with it. I wish VFR Prop Hops the best of luck with their transition. They are a bunch of great people.
More to come later............
