Hi

 

Can anyone tell me what FSD & an FSD Server is?

 

Is it anything to do with VATSIM

 

My VA - FlyUK - have FSD an event tomorrow & I'm not sure what that is. I've posted a similar question on their forum too.

 

Regards

 

David

Hello David,

 

FSD is a type of server - Flight Simulator Daemon

 

The one used by VATSIM is heavily modified and as such, things like vPilot will not work with a private server such as your VA seems to be using.

The protocol stays the same throughout - vPilot certainly works with the regular FSD server, although there's no way of explicitly connecting to a non-VATSIM server through vPilot. Other clients such as FSInn (or even EuroScope, VRC etc) will allow connection to the FSD server. The only caveat being voice communication will not work as usual.

Kind Regards,

Kieran Cross,

That was true of older versions of vPilot, but not with more recent ones.
