If you use FSX or P3D, I recommend vPilot over SB. vPilot is new and supported, and easy to set up. SB is easy to set up, but has been out of development for 4 years and is only community supported at this time (though we do a great job with it!). Also, because it's out of development, the hard-coded equipment suffix codes are outdated and incorrect on SB. vPilot is easier to set up for model matching, also.

i got the FSX with me, tried to installed once and what a frame rate killer! need to get a new hardware and lotsa tweak before it can run smooth i guess. meanwhile, i'm sticking with FS9 with some addons and still can live with it. thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Hi Kin,

 

welcome to the crowd!

 

In case that you are not satisfied with Squawkbox's model matching and would like to have something more complex, try FsInn. Just follow the tutorial called "FsInn in 20 minutes" that will guide you through all the details of the installation and initial setup: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=63821

something to ask... i filed a VFR FP from EGLL-EGCC, took a small C152, slow cruise at 6000, managed to tuned in to EGCC tower from 30 miles out, when i get close to about 15 miles and tried to make a contact, the ATC told me that i'm not under his control!?? can anyone show me if there was anything that possibly went wrong? Here is the route i filed : WOBUN WELIN T420 TNT . thx..

He probably [Mod - Happy Thoughts]umed your were IFR, as VFR can only depart Heathrow under particular conditions, and your route is an IFR route, coupled with the fact you would probably be in Cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] A airspace at 6000ft, where VFR is not allowed. IFR traffic usually makes contact with tower on final approach of the runway in use.
