standard multiplayer for FS requires you to get people to sign on to your computer, or you signing on to theirs, up to 8 i believe. If you want to fly with other people, get on VATSIM. http://www.vatsim.net is a great way to start. It's at first overwhelming, flyingup there in front of so many other people, using real ATC , but I absolutly reccomend it! It also helps to be involved with a virtual airline, they'll help you get used to it. If you need somebody to help walk you through flying it drop me a line.

As originalgrunge said http://www.vatsim.net/ is a very popular flight spot for more professional pilots than the Zone.

mypilot,

In order to utilize multi-player all that is needed is to go to Microsoft MSN game zone site as far as I know. You will be prompted to wait as some components are installed. This may happen more than once depending on your system config. You will also be required to register which is free. (.net passport) Smile You should be directed there thru the multi-player setting in the Simulator itself. Otherwise go here for multi-player. You will have to find the flight sim here: http://zone.msn.com/en/root/default.htm
