1275389 Posted February 8, 2018 at 08:22 PM Posted February 8, 2018 at 08:22 PM 1) You have read through the entire pilot resource centre? 2) Are you connected to VATSIM? 3) Are you within range of an online controller? 4) Have you tuned to their frequency? 5) Do you hear them? 6) Have they explicitly told you that they don't hear you?

Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted February 9, 2018 at 05:20 PM Posted February 9, 2018 at 05:20 PM Josh, I can understand your frustration. In this age everything seems to be geared toward "load and go" with little required of the user to access something. On VATSIM it is quite different. There are things to read, things to listen to, things to practice. Key to all this is knowing how the forums are set up. There is a forum section for discussing problems with vPilot, yet you continue to post all your vPilot problems in General Discussion. That means you haven't done a key task in joining any new organization. Browse the forums and set how it is set up and where specific topics for specific items are located. I don't use vPilot (I have once and it worked flawlessly...because I read the installation guide line by line as I was installing it. What you describe...hearing ATC and not being able to transmit...Is discussed here... viewtopic.php?f=132&t=64672 Did you even look at that section of the forums, specifically... Q: I can't select a PTT on my keyboard. What's up with that?A: If you use UAC and use a keyboard PTT, DO NOT install vPilot as an administrator, but once installed, if you run FSX/P3D as an administrator, run vPilot as an administrator. Joystick PTT works fine with or without running as an administrator. Q: I can hear others and my mic has no problem, but whenever I try to transmit with my PTT, I need to switch to the vPilot window in order to transmit successfully. If I try to attempt to transmit inside the simulator without switching to vPilot, the TX in the top right corner of vPilot window is not highlighted and I cannot transmit. A: That's the number 1 symptom that indicates that you are not running vPilot as an administrator. If you run FSX/P3D as an administrator, you must run vPilot as an administrator. I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ure you, vPilot is very stable...based upon my one use...and very dependable, if you install it correctly. I seriously doubt you used the install instructions or used the vPilot Thread to find answers. Load and Go does not work here...Read and Learn does. To test my theory, answer me this, if you have read all the docomeentation, what does "PRC" stand for? it's kind of a "gimme" question considering all the tips and suggestions you have been given, but...

Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted February 9, 2018 at 08:11 PM Posted February 9, 2018 at 08:11 PM You know what, James. After posting the above I got to thinking. You have never stated, that I can see, that you can hear ATC? Can you. Maybe the reason ATC can't hear you is because you are starting in an area that does not have online ATC at that moment. Surely you are not trying to talk to default ATC through your microphone. Forgive me for even asking that, but one never knows. I have looked at your statistics and you have 3 hours + online, but not once have you filed a flight plan, so I don't know where you have been starting your flights and ending them.

Morten Jelle Posted February 10, 2018 at 11:23 AM Posted February 10, 2018 at 11:23 AM Check your microphone settings. And aldo calibrate it through vPilot. We don’t know what microphone you have. James, it is not because we don’t want to help you. But a lot of your questions really is answered in the manual and you can find a lot by searching. I will really encourage you to try find these answers yourself. Morten Jelle VATSIM Network Supervisor, Team Lead - Supervisor Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted February 10, 2018 at 10:56 PM Posted February 10, 2018 at 10:56 PM James, I could answer your posts with "this isn't twitter" and hope you get my meaning, or... I could answer with "James, this isn't twitter. You are not limited to the number of characters you can type. Short little one sentence answers do not help us help you. Please try to be more specific than ' I tried '. What happened when you 'tried'? and then you would understand exactly my point. VATSIM has existed for years and performed flawlessly. Thousands of pilots have connected to VATSIM with vPilot and gotten excellent comms both out to ATC and in from ATC. I used vPilot once and it performed flawlessly first try. The only reason I have stuck with FSInn all these years is because it, too, (for me) performs flawlessly. Therefore, it has to be something you are doing wrong or a piece of equipment you are using is blocking outbound comms. You have to give us something to work with, more than "I tried". What Operating system are you using, Win7, Win10, Win8, what? I've gone back through your posts and I don't see where you have ever said. It makes a difference, When you installed vPilot, did you install it as administrator, because you are not supposed to? I know from one of your other posts that you use FSX. Is FSX installed to "run as administrator". It makes a difference. Are you connecting to the internet directly through a modem or through a router connected to the modem? It can make a difference. Hard wire connection or WiFi? It can make a difference. From home or from somewhere else, like a dorm room or...work ? It can make a difference. There are so many different variables involved that the more information you give us the far easier it will be to get you connected and talking. I don't know about vPilot, but with FSInn when someone else keys their PTT (like ATC or another pilot) I see that by colored dots on the control panel. This dots are still colored when I transmit, but a different color than receive. Does vPilot have those "dots" and if so, what do you see on the vPilot control panel when you transmit...i.e., try to talk to ATC? There is just an awful lot of information you could be giving us that you aren't with your one sentence answers.
