FSMP New FSX-2 Multiplayer Server - 2011

Just in time for the start of 2011, FSMP, is pleased to announce the official launch of their new enhanced "Multiplayer FSX-2 Server".

Online, 365/24/7, this new FSX-2 Multiplayer server is open to all with FSX SP2 or Acceleration, from early teens, to retirement.

The new FSX-2 server, which can easily handle 99 concurrent players, offers many advanced feature, not found on other dedicated FSX servers, including:

• Gamespy or Private Direct Connection,
• Support for Multiple Controllers at Multiple Airports and Centers,
• Extensive two-way communication with the Server's AI BOT via the chat box,
• Private messaging,
• Private and broadcast audio messages from the server,
• Chat box text and audio help for both pilots and controllers.
• "Line of Sight" Radio Range control, allows the use of real world frequencies, without interference between airports using the same ground or clearance frequencies.
• FSX’s Shared Cockpit is also fully supported.

The server supports its own website, (http://fs-mp.com) that is dynamically updated with information from the server, including a Google Map display of aircraft positions, filed flight plans, registered controllers and their Frequencies and positions, as well as information about all aircraft in the session. (http://status.fs-mp.com).

Despite being open to both Gamespy Players, as well as by Direct IP Connect, the use of a powerful AI BOT, allows 24/7 automatic administration of the server, and helps greatly to eliminate the typical chaos found on many FSX Gamespy servers.

Regular, responsible players can apply to become "ATC Admins", and are provided with the authority to issue eject and boot commands, to further reduce problems from rogue players. Following a short probation period, players can register to provide ATC, and make use of FSMP extensive web based Audio ATC seminars, presented by real world controllers, to advance their ATC skills, at their own pace.

What is truly amazing is that this is a formula that actually works, and transforms the typical FSX Gamespy session, into a well organized, and enjoyable environment for both Pilots and Control. In addition, all advanced server features are "server side", which means that there is no additional software for players to download and install. All enhanced feature work with standard FSX. If you have tried Gamespy Sessions before, and found them less than inviting, or total chaos, now is the time to check out the FSMP FSX-2 server.

If you enjoy the experience, after initially joining through Gamespy, in the future you may direct connect using your same Gamespy name, and a personal, unique password, provided to you by the server.

The FSMP advanced FSX-2 Server might be more similar to what FS-ELEVEN Multiplayer might have been, but we will never know. What we can be certain of is that it is able to offer far more than the standard MS FSX server.
