FSX Problem
Question
Answers

Hey DW747,
Thanks for the complement, I appreciate it
.
Unfortunately, I don't play FSX or use Gamespy (I'm more of a MMO and First Person Shooter type of guy). Plus I'm supposed to be supporting Vista Validation and Activation issues, in this forum. But since you buttered me up, I did do alittle research and this does seem to be a fairly common issue experienced by other Flight Simulator X players.
The only workarounds I found (that have been known to have worked for some players) are:
1) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070803095121AAPBW2d The user says: "Start clicking on a part of fsx where there are no buttons AT THE SAME TIME THE "CONNECTING TO GAMESPY" Window appears. Keep on doing that and then you'll be logging in "normally"."
2) http://forums.gamespy.com/simulation_games/b50687/19713106/p1/?6 The user says "when you get kicked from gamespy is go to www.gamespy.com loging on the web restart your FSX and login and it shud work but it doesnt always work."
He also says suggests "using FShost www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/ where you will find all the servers thats up and running the only thing is that you will need to use Teamspeak or Ventrilo for voice coms."
You may want to read the full post as the user seems to be working with Microsoft to maybe help resolve the issue.
Lastly, if you try to contact Microsoft support again, don't worry that your PID comes up as Zoo Tycoon, just continue with the support. I believe all games are supported by the same group and even if it's not and you get sent to the zoo tycoon support group, the Rep should transfer you over to the group that does supports FSX.
Anyways, I'm sorry I couldn't be more help, but this is way outside my area of knowledge and even though I work at Microsoft, it's so big, that you (as a customer) would probably have a better chance of talking to the right people, then I would
