    Vatsim

    Hello, ladies and gentlemen!

     I want to fly on VATSIM, but i don't understand how to do it! I was reading the PRC, but understood absolutely nothing!

    Could somebody help me and say, how to start?

     
    P.S. Already registered there.

    Pranas,

    if you are using MSN, send me your MSN-address via email.
    It must be possible to 'chat' you on to Vatsim.

    Thank you, Mike!

     

    Chris, no, I'm not using MSN, but I will! I'll send you the address when I'll create it!

    Re: Vatsim

    Captains, after a couple of exercises Pranas and I did not succeed in getting Pranas connected to Vatsim.
    Pranas has a different configuration than I have and my knowledge has also its borders.

    Vista - FSX
    Installed FSCopilot 1.6 and FSInn 1.2

    After starting FSX, the FSFDT-control panel icon will disappear.

    Some-one out there with the same configuration and able to give a hand ?
    Thanks in advance.

    FSCopilot 1.6 and FSInn 1.2 do not work with FSX, that is why :)

    You need to go to the mcdu forums and get FSCopilot 1.7beta and FSInn 1.3beta.  Those work with FSX.  I've been using them for close to a year now.

    Re: Vatsim

    OK. Now I can succesfully connect to VATSIM, I can communicate to the ATC. But now I have a new, quite stupid prolem. When I stand on a parking place and connect to VATSIM, suddenly, 2 or 3 planes appear just on me - I can't get rid of them: if I start to taxi - they taxi with me (I mean, ON ME!). Can somebody help me with this?

    Re: Vatsim

    I have gotten this too before. Seems to be a glitch with FSINN. To resolve, I just quit FSINN, and restart it in about 2-5min. That usually solves the problem.

    Re: Vatsim

    All problems solved :)

     

    But there are one big - could somebody tell me, where could I download normal sceneries of airports to use in VATSIM? I've found some, but they're for FS9 and I'm using FSX! If not this, I would fly right now...

     So, please help..

    Or maybe download WWA scenery, will it work normally in VATSIM? Normally - I mean, no planes would taxi on the grass and no planes would park straight on the buildings...

    Bob Sturm has been making FSX scenery for the Westwind hubs, which can be downloaded from the main page.  FS9 scenery *is not compatible* with FSX.  Don't try it or you could get some very unpredictable results :)
