I have loaded vatsim to my computer. When I bring up the area where available networks, it doesnt list anything but one and I cannot connect to it. Also, no other features such as WX and chat are working so I am guessing because I cannot get connected. The window for vatsim is there and all the right buttons and you can press them. Please help

When you say loading VATSIM you're probably speaking of loading the pilot client FSInn. If you follow the steps provided in by the Installation Sticky in the FSInn Help forum you won't have any problems with the pilot client or connecting to VATSIM.

 

If you don't follow the steps, with a experiments you'll probably eventually connect but you'll most likely still have problems.

For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works!

I have looked for the installation sticky you was refering too but actually I am not really sure what it is. I think I fixed the problem though. I manually typed in the address of the server and it connected so I think I am good to go hopefully.

Look at the important messages stuck to the top of the FSInn Help forum. The most important one is the Please read before posting in that forum sticky. It reminds the users that reviewing the content of two messages will resolve any issue you might have with FSInn and VATSIm. The other important sticky is the Installation Sticky.

 

While you've resolve this immediate issue, I strongly advise you to look at the two messages of the Please read sticky. They will enhance your FSInn VATSIM experience and resolve other issues you haven't gotten to yet. Some of the issues are annoyances that you might have a hard time identifying or putting into words and think you have to live with, but don't.
