Ok, I'll have to talk to my isp to see if they'll sort me out. After, a quick search, may have to look into a VPN that allows port forwarding. Thanks all for your help.

I've just looked at my ISP quickline and apparently they do use a CG-Nat. Does this mean this will be my issue?

Hi, finally managed to get my friend to test my server and the same as before. It doesn't show on his server list and just shows "server offline " if he connects by IP. However, as mentioned above, my server does show on the "my server list" on the ED website. Below is a screen on my port forwarding rule. Anyone got any ideas?

Just a quick update, I haven't managed to test with a friend yet but looked on the dcs website when my server was running and it showed on the 'my server' list.

I haven't had a chance to test it yet but hopefully will later this evening. I'll let you know when I have. Appreciate the input peeps.

Great, I'll set that up now.

I've checked and Win firewall is set to allow DCS through. I've noticed though, my IPv4 IP address is something like 192.168.1........ but in DCS my IP address in multiplayer is 164.138.80....... Shouldnt they be the same and if not, which IP address do I set as the port forwarding rule?

Ok, I'll give those things a try. Thanks for the comments.

They are trying to join my server so should the originating IP be my IP address? Also, I have DCS.exe and folder set in the exclusions list. Is that what you mean by checking win firewall is allowing public IP traffic to port 10308?

Hi, can anyone tell if this is correct as I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to this sort of thing. As it stands, my friends get can't see my server on the list and if they try to connect via ip, they get a server offline message so I believe my port 10308 is closed. Any advice would be appreciated.

Has there been any mention recently on getting raindrops on the fabulous phantom?

@NineLine, you better have a word with Wags about that lol

100% this! Completely agree!

Not really sure how I feel about this one. For years, customers have been told "no we can't make that because of the lack of data and documents available". Now, you can get all that information from watching some videos. DCS's main selling point is the accuracy of the flight models and the attention to the minor details that other platforms don't provide. I'm happy to see more aircraft but this one is a bit far fetched given where dcs has come from in my opinion.

Same here, no mouse cursor and I've done the same as above.
