Hi, I've been a longtime train simulator owner, having just about everyone. But recently got back into MSTS/Open Rails. Me and some friends are having troubles connecting with each other. I have my own server but my friend cannot connect. We also tried using the servers on tsimserver.com but the results are not successful due to sometimes my friend or I get sent to single player when we join or one of us has all our switches lined against us with that person unable to touch them. All help would be appreciated since I am new to OP but not other sims. Thank You.

A partial reply: in Multiplayer mode in general only the dispatcher (that is the first player entering the game) can move switches.
The dispatcher can appoint other players as aiders, and then they too will be able to move switches.
Using tsimserver sometimes requires some patience, and more than one connection attempt could be necessary before both players see themselves. Try to connect to another port in that case. Take into account that all players must have the same version of the route (that is, the .tdb file must have the same version number).sigpic -
Hi, thank you for the response, I just have one final question about the dispatching. How may one appoint someone else to also control the dispatch screen?Comment

You select the player in the list at the right of the dispatcher window, and then you click on the "Assist" button.sigpicComment
