Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:12 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:12 PM Hey Guys, I recently downloaded everything and everything seems to be working except for vpilot detecting aircraft. Vpilot says it is connected to simulator than when I start flight and hit connect on vpilot it doesn't detect the aircraft. I have looked everywhere and becoming very frustrated, any suggestions?

Ross Carlson Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:15 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:15 PM I don't know what you mean by "it doesn't detect the aircraft" ... can you elaborate?

Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:18 PM Author Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:18 PM Absolutely so when I click connect on vpilot no recent aircraft pop up. After doing research it seems that when you load flight that information should pop up under connect section of vpilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:19 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:19 PM No, it doesn't autodetect anything ... your research led you astray. Just fill it in. Be sure to use a valid ICAO type code so that others will see your aircraft properly.

Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:38 PM Author Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:38 PM One more problem I noticed, I am at LGA where there are controller on and I discover even though I am connected to simulator I am not connected to Network. How do I go about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:42 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:42 PM That question, along with others you are likely to have, is answered in the docs: http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Docomeentation2.aspx Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:58 PM Author Posted February 12, 2018 at 10:58 PM I just went through and could not solve the problem. Is it possible even though I can log into VATSIM it may not work because I just made the account a few hours ago? I saw that in another forum.

Josh Glottmann Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:02 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:02 PM How are you connecting? Have you manually typed in both your CID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:09 PM Author Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:09 PM I have typed i n both CID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word and I am using the computer the simulator is on to run the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that is possible, but if that were the case, you would get an error saying something like "Invalid CID/P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word". Are you getting any errors when you attempt to connect to the network?

Ross Carlson Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:17 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:17 PM I think we need a screenshot. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:25 PM Author Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:25 PM Unable to screen shot but on host mode with voice, in the top right corner there is a Connected to network: with a box next to it that says No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:59 PM Posted February 12, 2018 at 11:59 PM If you are running in host mode, then you must also be running vPilot in remote mode on another computer. Are you doing that? If not, you should NOT run in host mode, and just run the normal standalone mode.

Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:17 AM Author Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:17 AM I have run the normal vpilot mode but it is still saying not connected to network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Silverman 1417584 Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:20 AM Author Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:20 AM Went for a second reboot and it fixed the problem TY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:37 AM Posted February 13, 2018 at 12:37 AM I'm betting you just needed to wait for your CID to be activated. Rebooting is normally not necessary to connect. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
