Duce Lewis 3 Posted November 21, 2009 Is there a way to connect 2 PC's directly together and fly joint missions? If so, can anyone detail the nuts & bolts of getting a mission running? Interface/Keystrokes, etc. I met a co-worker who flys cfs3 I thinking I'll load P2 on my laptop & plug into his PC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted November 21, 2009 Duce, it should be possible - I also want to try that soon. I asked about it some time ago, and got this advice from MADMATT: All graphic settings (or maybe even all "workshop" settings ?) must be identical on both rigs. Then it should work. I'll report, whenever I have made it to that point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucas Chamorro 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Maybe using a router with more than one port and setting the match to LAN party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) Its exacly the same way as you would do for 2 computers 1000 miles apart...the only differnce is that if you have a lan,,,the person joining can join the host by entering either the internal ip of the host (192.168.x.x), or if both compters are connected online, they can join by entering the external ip of the host. But the host does nothing different from what is done for normal mp sessions,,,,,ie,,there is no procedure for a lan session,,and a different proceedure for a internet session... there is a tuturial in the sticky section of the mp forum...should get you all you need to know (and them some) but fyi,,,,if you can get both computers online,,,and have the other computer join thru the internet connection rather than the lan connection, you may find the game play better. I did exactly what you are suggesting at home, ( set up a lan game) and i could not belive the amont of "jittering" on the aircraft. I dont belive the jittering is purely lag. Generally when you have lag,,the plane will freeze for a split second,,then quickly appear at another point....jittering is something else,,,, Edited November 22, 2009 by sitting_duck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duce Lewis 3 Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks sitting ducl/everyone, I checked out your MP Stickie Lots of great info You sure have put a lot of effort in As far as the lan connection; wiill a simple ethernet cable connection work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sitting_duck 3 Posted November 22, 2009 hmm,,,good question.... going to assume your talking about just networking 2 computers....no router..... this tells the different cables you have to have depending on if you have a hub or not http://sawaal.ibibo.com/computers-and-technology/what-difference-between-patch-cable-crossover-cable-409909.html i suppose,,,as long as you know the internal ip of the host,,,the other computer would be able to join. not sure what is going to happen if both computers have the same internal ip in any case,,,let us know!
