Bradford Lee Posted March 21, 2014 at 03:10 PM Posted March 21, 2014 at 03:10 PM Which program are you using for training (TWRTrainer, ACSim, etc.) and which error message(s), if any, are you getting? Brad Lee ZJX ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted March 21, 2014 at 03:57 PM Posted March 21, 2014 at 03:57 PM (edited) Using TWRTrainer, I'm just getting an unhelpful "Socket closed by remote host" error. EDIT: Using Wireshark, I determined the Sweatbox server is returning: $ERserver:unknown: 016::Unauthorized client software. VRC is able to connect just fine.

Michiel Blom 1216804 Posted March 21, 2014 at 04:04 PM Author Posted March 21, 2014 at 04:04 PM not getting any errors. planes just dont pop up in euroscope and instead of saying "Sweatbox" in the top left corner it says "vatsim" the planes do show in the simulator (training) dialog they just dont show on the map im not using any exterior software.

Luca Benelli Posted March 21, 2014 at 05:07 PM Posted March 21, 2014 at 05:07 PM I broke it once again... back to the old one... my home phone line is dead (so is my DSL) so i have only the cell phone which isn't good for trying to work on a server. Sorry... should be working now. let me know please. Luca Benelli - C3 - P2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing something wrong?. I am new here. Thanks. In your VRC directory, create a new text file. In the file, put this: sweatbox.vatsim.net SWEATBOX Save it as myservers.txt. Please note though that Sweatbox is only used by students when they are training with simulated traffic under the instruction of a Mentor or full Instructor. There's only traffic that your trainer puts on there, in other words. Actual controlling is done on the live servers that you already see in your list.

Yes, I am a new student and my instructor already instructed me to create the myservers.txt with the text as you typed. But it still does not work. Maybe I placed the myserver.txt file on the wrong directory? Can you please advise where should I put this file? Thank you for your help. *** update *** I think I got it. I changed the location of myservers.txt and Sweatbox name showed up under the "server" pull down menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted March 23, 2014 at 04:33 AM Posted March 23, 2014 at 04:33 AM In VRC versions 1.2.3 and prior, the "myservers.txt" should be in the same folder as VRC.exe. In newer versions, it looks in a "VRC" subdirectory (I think that's the name?) of your My Docomeents folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
