[RESOLVED] Problems with multichannel setup

[SorensenDK2]

HI all.

Hope you can help me.

I am trying to setup a multichannel, with two PC´s.

I have found a tutorial on youtube, and following it precisely, but something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and I get an error message in the Host sim, when changing my viewgroupmanagement:


"p3d client has joined with a lanusername ([FSMAIN2]) not included in multichannel.xml"

What does this mean?

I have made a host.cfg with the lanusername "FSMAIN2" and a client using "FSMAIN" as lanusername.

(Host) Host.cfg:

[MULTICHANNEL]
AutoStart=2
AutoSignOn=1
AccountLogin=0
LanUsername=[FSMAIN2]
PublicOnWEB=0
PublicOnLAN=1
MaxPlayers=64
ReservedForFriends=0
EnableFrameSync=1
FrameSyncRate=30
EnableShare=1
PasswordForSharingAircraft=""
AllowSharedAircraft=1
AllowJoinInFly=1
ConnectionLostTimeOut=600

(Client) FSMAIN.cfg:
[MULTICHANNEL]
AutoStart=1
AutoSignOn=1
AccountLogin=0
LanUsername=[FSMAIN]
AutoStartHostId=[FSMAIN2]
AutoStartJoinAircraft=[FSMAIN2]
EnableFrameSync=1
ClientEnabledVoice=0
ConnectionLostTimeOut=600

multichannel.xml from the hostmachine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="ConfigurationFile" version="5,3">
<Descr>AceXML Document</Descr>
<Multichannel.ConfigurationSet>
<Configuration>
<ConfigurationName>Dual setup</ConfigurationName>
<Machine>
<MachineName>FSMAIN2</MachineName>
<MachineID>1</MachineID>
</Machine>
<Machine>
<MachineName>FSMAIN</MachineName>
<MachineID>2</MachineID>
</Machine>
</Configuration>
</Multichannel.ConfigurationSet>
</SimBase.Document>

I dont get it...It seems straightforward!?

Any help out htere. I thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Hi Bjarne,

It looks like you are missing the square brackets in your <MachineName> elements (i.e. FSMAIN2 vs [FSMAIN2]). You could try adding these brackets to your Multichannel.xml file, or remove the brackets from the Host.cfg and FSMAIN.cfg files.

Regards,
Clifton

Sigh....ofcourse! I really hadn't seen the brackets in the cfg files!! I guess the eyes are the first to become blind!! 😂
Thx very much for quick reply 🙏
