Morten Haughom 965929 Posted April 17, 2017 at 07:08 AM Posted April 17, 2017 at 07:08 AM Hi Ross! First off. Your software is awesome to put it bluntly. A matured VATSIM Client, simple in use, yet powerful. Seemingly totally bug free too! Thanks for this contribution, top ten this decade Question: We have, my father and me, built a full scale 737 sim. Where the FSX computer will run vPilot in host mode. While another computer is used as the remote client, where all the pre-flight prep will happen. Connecting to VATSIM and so on. The FSX computer boots all the way into "outside view" so to speak, a fully automated process. For ease of use, I wonder if the host module could be auto loaded during boot and remain in memory in "idle" mode. without affecting the FSX simulation unduly. More to the point: Will the host vPilot "interrupt" the FSX process often while doing nothing? I.e. if we choose to run a sim session OFFLINE (not running the remote), how will the host module affect the FSX simulation?

Ross Carlson Posted April 17, 2017 at 02:31 PM Posted April 17, 2017 at 02:31 PM You should be able to add vPilot to whatever your current startup process is. It will make a SimConnect connection to the sim, which will use a tiny amount of memory and a tiny amount of CPU resources, because it will be reading your aircraft position and radio states periodically. I can't imagine you would ever notice this tiny amount of idle resource usage, compared to everything else the sim machine is doing.

Morten Haughom 965929 Posted April 17, 2017 at 05:30 PM Author Posted April 17, 2017 at 05:30 PM Thank you Ross! Exactly what I needed to hear. vPilot is now loaded during WIN7 boot Feature request: Any chance you'll make an option for the "host" module to stay minimized, possibly in the tray? Nice to have feature, but non-critical. So don't even consider it if it means changing entire cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]es of code to make it work. I'm sure the community wants to have other features that are far more valuable in any upcoming upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 17, 2017 at 08:19 PM Posted April 17, 2017 at 08:19 PM I'll put that on the list for a future update. Should be pretty easy. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted April 24, 2017 at 01:16 AM Posted April 24, 2017 at 01:16 AM There's already a minimize button on the host window. Is that not sufficient?
