Charles Wells 1441953 Posted December 14, 2018 at 04:44 PM Posted December 14, 2018 at 04:44 PM Hello, I am new to this website, my problem is that when I open FSX,fly now,use drop down and select Squawk Box and get to the connect screen, it shows no information. I am somewhat confused because I thought that after 24 hours of registering that this info would be there. What am I doing wrong?? hpwells: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus holmes Posted December 14, 2018 at 11:46 PM Posted December 14, 2018 at 11:46 PM Charles when you get your Vatsim membership information, which will be your Vatsim number and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] number, you will need to input the information yourself, it will not automatically do it. Also I recommend installing Vpilot instead of Squawkbox, as Squawkbox is no longer supported and updated by it developer anymore, whereby Vpilot is still supported and updated regularly.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted December 14, 2018 at 11:53 PM Board of Governors Posted December 14, 2018 at 11:53 PM Agree with Marcus -- vPilot is by far your better option. SB is not up to date, e.g. incorrect aircraft suffix codes, need to manually fix the no servers issue, etc. If you insist on using SB, though, you can update the server list manually per the thread at the top of this forum.

Charles Wells 1441953 Posted December 15, 2018 at 12:45 AM Author Posted December 15, 2018 at 12:45 AM I tried that, it still will not connect. Error message says I need a call sign and a server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Wells 1441953 Posted December 15, 2018 at 02:07 AM Author Posted December 15, 2018 at 02:07 AM I uninstalled SB and installed V pilot. I don't think I am going to have any problems other than learning how to talk to ATC. Thanks for the help. If I have problems I will post them on the forum.

marcus holmes Posted December 15, 2018 at 02:09 AM Posted December 15, 2018 at 02:09 AM Charles you need to input the call sign you will use during your online flight, for example BAW114 (British Airways). I am not sure if there is a server list anymore on Squawkbox, but if there is you select the server which is closes to you real life location.
