PXO is down (although it is coming back eventually) so there is no way to play FS1 online without playing an IP game.

It's possible to simply use the FS1 port to FS2 to play using SCP though.

PXO is the system used for both retail games so yeah you're playing them online except by IP game for a while.

And we'll need to know more than it doesn't work to fix the problem. Their is a FAQ linked to at the top of this forum that should get you online.

1. i have the open online FS
2.i have a acoount at FS2NET
3.if i want to play online FS shows me some windows with following text:

1st=> Verifying FS Version
2nd=>Warning Parallax Online setup failed. Will not be able to play online.......
3rd=>something with a new PXO account...

In the Option ive chosen the PXO settings with my FS2.NET account data.

ok i think ive found the problem:

if i open my "launcher.exe" i get this message: "Failed to read flag file"

Delete it. Make sure you pick one of the FS2_Open executables when you run it this time. You've actually picked the original retail exe.

You've deleted the file and the launcher does that immediately when you run it or only after you click the browse button and pick a build?

Cause you're supposed to select fs2_open_3_6_9.exe and you're somehow selecting fs2.exe instead.

You need OpenAL for the sound to work. It shouldn't be causing the crashes you're getting but since you'll have to install it anyway you might as well.

You'll only see servers for people who are currently hosting. I usually host every Sunday from 3:00-7:00 (GMT) in the morning.

That is a bug ... in-game joining isn't working... you have to join at the start of the game... or make your own.
