Yes - the a/c works ok when I'm not connected to the server and also worked ok before I got the port forwarding problem sorted out i.e. when I could see myself on the map but was getting the FGMultiplayRxMgr message. When I tried again, a little later, with the correct params and when no one else was connected I had no problems. Once I realised that there was some sort of problem I only tried a few very quick checks because I didn't want to interfere with what Vivian was trying to do. I tried both the MiG-15bis, which I'm currently working on and the Comper Swift - one jet and one prop - and couldn't get any power out of either of them. The internal properties looked ok in both but the throttle simply had no effect in the Mig-15bis and although I could spin the Swift prop on the starter the engine wouldn't fire. Both checked ok 'off-line' or with an intentionally 'bad' --multiplay=in param. I only checked one multi-engined type - the TU-114 - but all of the engines were reporting the right o/p. Because of the risk of interfering with what Vivian was doing I didn't try any more tests. > > The message "initializing USER..." means, that you are > correctly connected to the server and receive data for the > remote user. > > > I'm still not sure if I was connecting properly because it > > was displaying me as [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of showing my IP > > address, which I suspect has something do with IP > > masquerading. > > The map shows what the server sees.

On that basis i.e.my problems weren't causing other folk problems, I'll try some more tests in the next few days.
