Port Forwarding for the Falcon 4 Flight Simulator

Falcon 4 requires the following ports to be forwarded.

TCP: 2934, 2935
UDP: 2934, 2935


In addition to forwarding the above ports, you need make a change to the startup configuration of the game. It is really easy to do, don't worry.

Step 1:
The first step is to find your falcon icon. It should look like the icon in the following screenshot.

Step 2:
Right click the icon to bring up the following options window.

Step 3:
Click Properties. You should now be looking at something like the following window.

Step 4:
We are going to be modifying the Target box on this page. Leave everything that is already in the target box in it. Add the following statement onto the end of what is in the target box.

-hostidx x -ip 38.103.63.60

38.103.63.60 is your external ip address. x being either 0,1,2,or 3 depending on number of LAN devices. LAN devices are computers, or anything else that could hold an ip address. When you are done it should look like the following

c:\microprose\falcon4\FalconSP.exe -hostidx "x" -ip 38.103.63.60

Step 5:
Click the Ok button at the bottom of the window to save your changes.
