Robert Bressert Posted December 5, 2017 at 08:41 PM Posted December 5, 2017 at 08:41 PM I am experimenting with X-Plane 11 and flying on Vatsim. I have a question that I can't find an answer for. Vpilot, FSinn and Squawkbox have user interfaces. Does XSquawkbox have a user interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted December 5, 2017 at 09:02 PM Posted December 5, 2017 at 09:02 PM Do you mean an external piece of software that's not directly integrated into the simulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted December 6, 2017 at 03:39 AM Author Posted December 6, 2017 at 03:39 AM If you go to https://www.vatsim.net/pilots/software you will see three pictures of user interfaces for Vpilot, Squawkbox and FSinn. There is none for XSquawkbox. When I log on to Vatsim in X-plane 11 there is no interface that I can see. However, since X-plane is in full screen mode (I don't know if there is a way to run X-plane in windowed mode) maybe the interface is behind X-plane.

1275389 Posted December 6, 2017 at 05:30 AM Posted December 6, 2017 at 05:30 AM No, it’s integrated into XP11. Nothing is hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted December 6, 2017 at 08:10 PM Author Posted December 6, 2017 at 08:10 PM Ok, thanks! So this begs these questions: "How do you know when ATC is online?" "What their frequency is?" "How to read or hear an ATIS?" Etc. I can't wait for Swift!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted December 6, 2017 at 09:30 PM Posted December 6, 2017 at 09:30 PM Read the docomeentation, it explains this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted December 6, 2017 at 10:22 PM Author Posted December 6, 2017 at 10:22 PM I did. But the text on the screen is almost unreadable. No, it is unreadable. Two reasons: First the text is extremely small. Im 62 years old and my eyes aren't what the used to be. Second, I'm colored-blind. Usually the color of the text blends into the background. For all intents and purposes it's invisible. I might not be the only one with these problems. That's why I asked about a user interface, not because I didn't read the docomeentation.

1275389 Posted December 7, 2017 at 12:35 AM Posted December 7, 2017 at 12:35 AM Take a look at this thread then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted December 7, 2017 at 02:34 AM Author Posted December 7, 2017 at 02:34 AM Thanks, Josh. I'll look into it. Honesty, though, it just seems like we'll have to wait for Swift. I appreciate you taking the time to address this with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
