This video is designed to make stepping into multiplayer mode an easy one. Coming up will be monthly Simhanger Fly-ins so we can get together in the skys. Look forward to flying with you. 😀

[@IrishAviator]

Hi Mark, Seamus here founder of the Irish Flyers Club, just got shared your video by a group member and I’m delighted that you used us as an example to help people join group multiplayer flights. This video was brilliant and it couldn’t be made any more clear to those novice to the simulators features. Excellent clarity! Again thank you and I hope you enjoyed your flight with us, see you in the air again soon! Ill have to join you on your flights. :) -Seamus.

[@SimHangerFS]

Hey Seamus, appreciate the feedback, but the thanks are due to people like yourself that have created a friendly and enabling environment for multiplayer. I will definitely join you guys again, fantastic group. Regards

[@stephenmason5682]

For anyone thinking of getting started in multiplayer, this has got to be the best tutorial around! Excellent work!

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks 😀

[@MrBinggy]

Awesome video, Mark! You are heaven-sent for us newbies who have tons of questions but are too shy to ask them (aside from not knowing where ask and most of the time, what exactly to ask). Subbed and looking forward to watching all your other video uploads. Keep safe and hope to fly with you someday!

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, there is a monthly Simhanger fly in ...next one this Sunday. Join my discord for details. Links in the notes below my videos.

[@gblr1]

I have to agree with all the comments regarding how good this video is, for anyone unsure or nervous about multiplayer this video gives you loads of info and tips to get you up and flying in multiplayer, excellent well done.

[@SimHangerFS]

Thank you. 👍

[@georgesiebes]

Hey Mark, I'm totally in. This video was very helpful, as it was on my bucket sim list, so the timing is perfect too. See you in SimHanger skies.

[@SimHangerFS]

Fantastic, look forward to flying with you soon 😁👍

[@AM-6030]

First and foremost, I love your KZbin channel! You have helped me set up MSFS 2020 in more ways than I can explain. A big thank you for this! I am based out of Western Canada in the Pacific Timezone. But hopefully I can join you one day on the multiplayer that you are hosting. I joined in on the Discord group, but I am currently only seeing the two "Welcome" tabs in it.

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, thanks for the great feedback. On the Discord you need to accept the rules of conduct....should be a waving hand at the bottom of the first welcome screen. Once accepted the whole discord will open up. Regards

[@leerose9436]

Another great video Mark ! Thanks so much ! See you in the Air soon 👍🙏🏻👨‍✈️✈️

[@SimHangerFS]

Look forward to it 😁

[@bankabled]

Thank you for your excellent tutorial. Looking forward for more.

[@ervmoore1111]

Thanks Mark, another good one!!!

[@paulphibbs5362]

Good job Mark. This should make it easier for new flyers to join in.

[@bigbrownbagofcash]

A very clear video and great information. I was on the same Wild Atlantic way group flight and it is great to see it being used as an example. I’m also delighted that you didn’t have any of my droning on over the voice channel featured. Phew !!!

[@SimHangerFS]

Hopefully we can meet up on future flights 😁

[@yams900]

Always love your videos, learned again a lot. Haven’t flown in a group before, think time has come ! Thanks for sharing !

[@SimHangerFS]

Ronnie, join the Simhanger discord and your very welcome to join in …we have a monthly multiplayer event. Great fun.

[@Stonky356]

Really first class tutorial. Certainly plenty to get me started in multiplayer. Thanks.

[@katosb9151]

Thanks this really helped!

[@flightsimman69]

Thanks Mark, Great video! 👌

[@davidhorobin1060]

Superb video - so comprehensive - thank you!

[@RobertMcNamara3DMc]

Really informative video, great pacing and presentation. Nice to see a lot of interest in flying around our humble little island. Am tempted to jump into multiplayer now!

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks Robert....see you in the sky 👍

[@researchcapt]

Great video to get me started in multiplayer...thanks!

[@threadz-sr6305]

Thanks Mark, nice video, see you at the fly in

[@SimHangerFS]

Look forward to flying together 👍

[@mikecoffee100]

Fantastic video wrote everything down and for rhe next flight I wont fumble around

[@jstodaro]

Thanks! Great video.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Superb tutorial thanks Mark :)

[@raywalsh5414]

Hi Mark, the backdrop to your video caught my attention as I fly with the flying club at Sligo (that is when I'm allowed leave my area under Covid restrictions !). In the meantime I'm getting to know FS2020. You cover the multi player business in great detail so thanks for that as I was curious as to how it all comes together. I'll have to check out the Irish Flyers Club group also. Ray

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks Ray, feel free to join us if it suits you. Next flight late April. Stay safe.

[@stephenmason5682]

Now that these fly ins are popular it may be time for flyers to think about what they're doing around the aprons etc? Taxi ing anywhere and everywhere causes chaos?

[@davidhorobin1060]

Superb review - so knowledgeable

[@wrap239]

Awesome video Mark. Congrats on your upcoming Discord. I’ll certainly be there! I test for “Big Radials” #flythedamnairplane. We hope to do a celebratory formation (gaggle) when their P-40B releases yet we’re not multiplayer savvy. This video is perfect 👌 I’ve pointed everyone here to take advantage of your great instruction. How do I buy you a cup of coffee?!🙂

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi, and thanks for your feedback. There is a link in the notes below the video. Regards

[@wrap239]

@@SimHangerFS Sorry breezed right over that part in the notes 🗒 🤪

[@aleksandermiskowiec6591]

thks, rgds.

[@gabrieldrumm2575]

I have really been enjoying and learning from all your great videos. Thank you kindly! Recently I have been trying the sim in multiplayer mode and enjoying it in many different ways. I do nearly all of my flying in vr using the the reverb g2 and am curious if you may know how to turn on multiplayer gamertags in vr mode? Have them in non vr and would like to see what planes are actual people and not in vr as well.

[@SimHangerFS]

General options….Traffic….label setting on or off works both for 2D and VR.

[@jjohnson1667]

Hello, if you like the XCub, Bush League Legends has a 215hp mod. They have multiple variants including the Alpine (ski), Tundra (35" tires), Cargo, Tundra Cargo, and Float (discord only since beta). They are compatible with the WorkingTitle garmin G3X too. They're also doing an around the world flight called The Journey, currently going around Africa.

[@SimHangerFS]

Thanks, I have seen it but not tried it out yet 😀

[@Robin-bk2lm]

Great. But get a more visible indicator for mouse clicks.

[@billbimson2408]

Good video Mark. I'm a multiplayer virgin, but I think I'm going it give it a go now. Would have been nice to see a couple of the highlights of the actual flight at the end of the video though. Just in case you make a similar video.

[@SimHangerFS]

You would be welcome to join us. Here are some further details and the first Simhanger fly-in. Next one later in April. Stay safe. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH_MhJ-ofbuljq8

[@bluboy349]

Hi Mark,How do I set a tag name for multiplayer fs.Have my monthly subscription set up and can't wait to fly with you guys. Your vids have been a great help as i'm an old guy too lol. Thankyou.

[@SimHangerFS]

Set name tags on or off under general options and traffic. 👍

[@hey3184]

I would like to try but it seems they don't have multiplayer no more.

[@scottschwirian7526]

Can u talk to each other in a group flight on xbox?

[@jimsaunders8395]

what days are you flying please .im getting no more CTD yeee haa been flying round britain but need folk to fly with , mainly vfr from A to b ,,

[@SimHangerFS]

Join the discord, invite in the notes below the video . Details in the EVENT DETAILS section 👍

[@Homantin9]

Hello Mark, You mentioned early in your video that you would do one for flying online with IVAO/VATSIM. I have looked and cannot find one. Maybe you can answer my question: How do you show the aircraft call signs? I see the aircraft online but it is hard to identify who is who? Thanks, Don

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi Don, that feature is not yet available via these platforms. In development on Vatsim I believe.

[@Homantin9]

Thank Mark, is IVAO the same?

[@jress9967]

Need help in using the Group only multiplayer between two people, he sees me online and I do not see him on line, we have checked all the settings I have the store bought version and he has the Steam version. Any help appreciated.

[@SimHangerFS]

Make sure you are mutual friends to use the group function.

[@jress9967]

Is Live Real World Traffic and Real Time Aircraft type required for on for Multiplayer?

[@SimHangerFS]

No you have a choice, AI traffic....other players live....or none.

[@jress9967]

I was referring to in Options.

[@SimHangerFS]

@@jress9967 hi, yes you need multiplayer and real world traffic on. Regards

[@hazmat5118]

Does this video apply to xbox?

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes Sir.

[@levismitters9935]

How do you upload a flight plan on Xbox?

[@SimHangerFS]

Unfortunately there is no way to do that at the moment.

[@ellonysman]

This guy, me, is lost. I get the voice channel but how do we join in the same location together? I always had to have the xbox button on the same server. Cessna Piloot was flying today and he said you dont use that, so then how am I to see anyones tag? LOST IN SPACE

[@redbarron76]

am a newbie i would like to try itam not the best sim pilot

[@redbarron76]

im trying set up a flight but my server wont come on

[@redbarron76]

my maltiplayer wont come on

[@ahmadsamadzai8255]

Can you communicate with other players on frequency or just via discord?

[@SimHangerFS]

Just via Discord at this time. Regards

[@MarkM001]

But being an expert pilot is what flying's all about. Turnoff all those labels and max out the damage. Make it as real as possible and petition asobo for more (realism). Msfs2020 is capable of providing an actual vfr experience with an astonishing level of detail that approaches reality. Flying with like minded enthusiasts would be great and if someone dies give them a fine funeral and a fancy flyover (missing man and all that...very solemn).

[@SimHangerFS]

Hi Graham, my Discord server is only being set up at the moment so is not live at the moment (will be shortly). I will then post a link and this will be your invite you join in and get all the details you need. Very happy to help you anyway I can so no problem. Note when I accept your invite this will be a direct link and not via the server so you will still need to join the server once info is published. Regards

Unnecessarily too long video with unnecessary information.
