NJHops: has become the popular name for the servers so I made some changes.
The servers will now be listed on FSHostSpy as NJHops instead of Bob_8712E and listed by number.
FS9 (FS2004), FSX, FSNAV and TeamSpeak supported.
The Origional NJHops. Seems to be a fun place for the newer fliers to gather
so I plan to leave it just the way it is.
European Tour, a sceanic and interesting tour that I plan to keep up for a while.
South America Hops. This server has been adapted by a group in Argentina,
FSArgentina.
Very few of the members speak English and I plan to eventualy convert everything to Spanish.
Patricks Global Tour has been very quiet and Ian Radcliffe, the host of
the IVAS air shows, is interested in doing something on this server.
Vietnam Tour of Duty Replaced: This server is now the South America Military
Bases Tour by DrBackJack.

I would like to point out that these hop lists are meant to provide enjoyable tours and sharing the enjoyment with others.
The hop lists are not meant to be race courses for rockets just
get your name on top of the finished list.
A Router, Firewall or any other security method can block your ports
and prevent you from connecting to Multiplayer. Also a blocked port can prevent other players to join after you and get
an "all players can not connect" error message. If you are haveing a problem try
http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/FSPortTest.exe
Here is a list of ports just for reference:
FS2002:
TCP 47624
UDP 2300 to 2400
FS2004 and FSX:
UDP 23456 (addidional ports for multiple servers 23457, 23458, etc.)
UDP 6073
UDP 2302 to 2400 (not necessary if also forwarding 2300 to 2400 for FS2002)
Aerosoft does it again - Airport Terminal Enhancements much better than FSX

FSX can be used with FSHost Servers - The author of FSHost has developed a "client" program to provide the Internet
connection multiplayer feature that Microsoft removed from FSX.
The new "client" program provides many things that M$ left out like being able to see
other players smoke, doors open, etc.
It works great and it's free. Available at
chocolatesoftware.com
Flying the HOP's with FSX - The servers now have a seperate airport list for FS9 and FSX. As the lists are new, you may be directed
to an airport that is not listed and the server will not advance you. We are adding the airports to the list whenever someone reports
a problem.
FSHost servers
can be found with a program called FSHostSpy from
chocolatesoftware.com.
This program will show all active FSHost servers and who is flying on them and it's free.
This guy has done a great job so if you can't send him some money, at least send him a post card.
FlightSim X: I have it and it is not what I expected.
Here is what I found
Can't remember the server IP?
The servers can now be accessed at njhop.hopto.org
This should avoid any problems if my IP should change.
IP Bans - We have a huge list of IP ranges that are not allowed
to access our servers. Most of them are TeamSpeak hackers but the rest are people that just
can't get along with others and tend to take the fun out of multiplayer flying.
The list of currently banned IP's is available [ Here ]
If you can't connect to our servers please email me with your player name and your IP address.
We have many serious fliers on our servers and we are continuing to make every effort to provide "friendly skies"
free from deranged idiots and sick terrorists that have nothing better to do than make enemies.
TeamSpeak Flooding - We added a program to block TeamSpeak flooders. It has banned a number
terrorists so fast that we almost didn't realized that we were being attacked.
The TeamSpeak Server -
Many people have asked and some have even demanded to be given Server Administrator privilages. I'm sorry but nothing can be run properly
by putting everyone in charge. If you want to be in charge then get your own.
I just don't understand why some people think it's their God
given right to be able to have full control of someone else's server.
Can I have my own room? No. We did that before and people built empires and
then didn't use their own rooms. If you need privacy then switch
to a room that is not being used. Thank You
If you are wondering what all the smoke about TS hackers is about then here is an example.
Baron signed up with a commercial TeamSpeak service that claimed it was hacker proof.
The server was set up with rooms much like my TS server and one day, in a few seconds, the hackers
converted it to what is shown below. There are about 100 rooms.
Even Baron as the Server Admin could not make changes to his own server and tried for weeks to get the
INXGaming TS service provider to return control to him. They claimed that the settings had been changed
by "Brute Force". Is this a new term for "Hacked"?
