Carlos Meneses 907180 Posted April 30, 2006 at 03:06 PM Posted April 30, 2006 at 03:06 PM I know I'm answering this late (or trying to) but just for those that don't know, this happens to me alot. I just pick a different server. That seems to help. So my question, is this a XSquakbox issue or a VATSIM server issue? -- Carlos F.

Hi James, I usually get the server info from "Whose online" link on the VATSIM home page. (http://www.vatsim.net/data/who_vatsim.html). I pick the one nearest to me ( right guys?) -- Carlos F.

When you connect with X-Plane using XSquakbox, you'll see some VATSIM info scroll by ending with a message saying your connected. If you are connected you can Show Who's Online from the XSquakbox menu. The Squak Standby option in the menu works even when your offline. If you can't see the Trasponder box in your plane you might have to scroll down more (down arrow), it all depends on the plane's cockpit layout. To see if you are online you can also do a unicome check on 122.8 to see if anyone can reply. Finally, you can check the metar of an airport. Bring up the chat window and type in, without the qotes, ".metar kewr". If the server replies with any weather, then you are connected to VATSIM. Hope that helps... and see you in the skies above. -- Carlos F. Meneses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
