It looks like a firewall error but I have tried it with the firewall off. Same problem. I have also tried starting it with the account that I used to buy the game (mine

)
Ill work on it some more later.
To be honest I dont feel greatfull for anything. Shouldnt the devs be greatfull that people like us are prepared to invest our money to potentially increase their sales? Our dedicated servers cost a lot of money, we run them for love not money, Im out of pocket most months but its my hobby so ....
That said if anyone wants a real dedicated box give me a shout
Online flight sims are a bit of a niche market, I dont want companies to stop developing them but we do pay for a product at the end of the day, and the customer is always right
I am very keen to get this working because there are a lot of people relying on me getting it working.
