I was just told about http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/?fshostclient.html

There isn't really a dedicated server tool. Any "Dedicated Server" you find is doing the same as any other player hosting their own session, by using "Host a Session" on the server's end.

As for FSHostClient, it's good, as in it allows FS2002, FS2004, and FSX clients to all play together, but it can be a little laggy, and everyone who plays -MUST- have their ports forwarded for all players to join, otherwise a server dies quickly.

*I have been hosting 24/7 Dedicated servers since FS95

There are a few server hosting software's available to the flight sim community.
FSHost: https://www.chocolatesoftware.com/fshost/?fshostclient.html
JoinFS: http://joinfs.net/

FSHost is for FS2002, FS2004, P3D, FSX:SE and FSX.
JoinFS is for **MFS2024, MFS2020, P3D, XP, FSX:SE and FSX.

NOTE: Only the server host has to port foward.
Ports for JoinFS and FSHost are not the same.
JoinFS only use 1 port(Default PORT: 6112 - Server and Client side)
FSHost use multi ports server side. But only 23456 0r ***23457 client side
Be sure to allow server host/client software thru your firewall.

Join rule for all servers.
DO NOT JOIN ON RUNWAY!

**Eventually

***If 2 PC's are playing from same network:(FSHost)
PC1 Portt:23456
PC2 Port: 23457(change in MP client setting)

Hope that helps. Enjoy!
