  • Seeing other message areas of fsx?

    From Nuke@21:1/999 to All on Tue Jan 26 03:01:50 2021
    Am I right to assume that the other message areas of FSXnet will not be downloaded while using 21:1/999? Right now I'm successfully receiving the
    test area, but all other message groups are not receiving anything from my fidopoll.

    If I remember it correctly, yes.

    Sounds like the next step is contacting Avon for a node address for yourself.

    Take Care,

    P.S. Welcome!

    I'm not sure what areas 1/999 is connected to but there could be several folks polling for that address, testing out etc..

    If you apply for your own node you will get every message in every area you connect too..

    So.. hit up Avon for your own node.. :)

    1/999 is limited in the number of echos it can access... so yep, a regular
    node number will open up the rest of the echos :)
