I am current playing a multisim multipalyer, and the F10 send message is not working as expected, from my understanding the check box for client/server is checked which allows to chat with others in the same sim as me, that works fine its where I want to chat/send message with an ajacent box I tick the box "Leeds East/West" but messages are not appearing.

This is not confined to to this chain as I have just set up a multisim on my own PC and connected as a client, but check the recients box for a neighbouring box it does not work for sending a message.


Test Scenario

Brighton chained to Eastcoastway

I connect as client with Eastcoastway

in client press F10

in reciepients click on brighton, but any message I Send does not go to brighton.

Am I doing something wrong for this not to work?

Only the host can send messaged between simulations in a chain.

That's an interesting point, because whilst hosting the same session the other participants were apparently unable to see the messages I was sending to the chained sims.

My understanding was it only works host to host.

That was the point I was trying to get across.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you meant from host to client. Indeed, my own messages were visible to me across the sims I was hosting. Makes sense now.
