Hi Flightsimmer,
What you want to do can be accomplished as follows:
- Setup a dedicated server for the game (see the game's readme)
or use the game's built in Multiplayer engine to host games 24/7;
- Launch the dedicated server using switches if applicable by
adding the shortcut to the server's startup group;
- If the game doesn't provide an avenue to launch itself into the
appropriate multiplayer mode to host the server, download a
macro program from downloads.com which can do that for you;
- You might want to setup remote administration of the machine,
just in case you need to make adjustments to your system remotely;
- The above applies in general to applications as well as games, but
requires a reasonable amount research and preparation to get started. :-)
