Answer: just scroll down/up the list of messages that appears on SB or FSINN. How do I contact another flier on UNICOM? Answer: just type callsign of recipient and message. remember others can see it, too How do I send another flier a personal message(PM)? Answer: 1. If using SB - pull down the menu/options, and you will see CHAT. click and a box appears. type the callsign of recipient and then click ok. then type message on the chat box. 2. If using FSINN, on the message window type .msg cALLSIGN Thank you PS. There are other amazing functionalities that you can discover by referring to the manual of SB or FSINN. Regards.

Keith Smith Posted May 16, 2011 at 01:27 PM Posted May 16, 2011 at 01:27 PM Leo, both of the pieces of software you referenced are UNUSABLE with X-Plane, so that is not going to help the user who posted the question in an X-Plane forum. Tune to 122.80. You will then see the messages that are broadcast on unicom in a translucent window. You can make the window sticky by pressing TAB. Pressing TAB again will change it back to 'pop-up' mode when a new message is sent. To send a private message, press ENTER to bring up the command window, then type .msg [callsign] [msg], ie. ".msg aal123 howdy" This is all covered in the README that comes with the software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
