YSFlight Server
Port 7915 is primarily used as the default connection port for the YSFlight server, an aviation combat simulator multiplayer server platform. It facilitates communication between clients and the server, allowing users to engage in online flight simulations, coordinated missions, and aerial combat scenarios..
Port 7915 is designated as the default port for hosting YSFlight servers, supporting the aviation combat simulator developed by Soji Yamakawa. By opening this port for inbound connections, server administrators enable clients running the YSFlight client software to connect, authenticate, synchronize aircraft data, and facilitate mission parameters within multiplayer sessions. The connection over TCP ensures reliable, ordered delivery of critical simulation data such as aircraft positions, controls, and environment settings.
YSFlight's architecture relies on a straightforward client-server model where clients initiate TCP connections on port 7915. Once connected, the server mediates control data, environmental updates, and multiplayer synchronization, minimizing lag and data loss to maintain a coherent simulation environment. This port is typically configured on game server hosts or individual setup environments that wish to host customized flight experiences or open-world combat scenarios.
Being unofficial and community-supported, YSFlight relies on minimalistic networking designed for broad compatibility and low system resource requirements. It does not utilize SCTP as it doesn't require multi-streaming or multi-homing features, relying instead on basic TCP for simplicity and accessibility. Port forwarding or firewall configuration is often necessary to expose port 7915 on hosted servers.
