Robert Catherall 1383780 Posted February 26, 2017 at 01:29 AM Posted February 26, 2017 at 01:29 AM I seem to have a problem connecting. When I attempt to connect and file a flight plan I end up as an "observer" and not a Pilot. As you can see I'm new to VATSIM. I've made two flights and the first logged me as a pilot but the second logged me as an observer. What am I doing wrong. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Catherall 1383780 Posted February 26, 2017 at 06:11 AM Author Posted February 26, 2017 at 06:11 AM Ha I think I see where I've gone wrong. When I click connect I get a Connect Box. In it I have Recent Aircraft. If I click to open this I see "CXA(C208)" and also have the option to set "CXA(C208) - Observer Mode". I guess when I clicked "Connect" it was in "CXA(208) - Observer Mode" instead of having it in "CXA(C208) or I had the Box "Connect in shared cockpit mode (observer mode) Clicked. Is this where I had the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Geckler Posted February 26, 2017 at 01:20 PM Posted February 26, 2017 at 01:20 PM Most likely, yes. Ryan Geckler - GK | Former VATUSA3 - Division Training Manager VATSIM Minneapolis ARTCC | FAA Miami ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fong Posted February 27, 2017 at 11:35 AM Posted February 27, 2017 at 11:35 AM With vPilot, when you press the 'connect' button, in the dialog box that pops up, there should be a checkbox named 'Connect in shared cockpit mode (Observer mode)'. Make sure that this is unchecked (unless, of course, you are doing shared cockpit and are the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ive pilot, but that's a different story).
