Dean Cook 974435 Posted July 18, 2006 at 04:08 AM Posted July 18, 2006 at 04:08 AM Hi, I'm totaly new to VATSIM, and wanting to fly online in the worst way... When I try to connect, I get a "connecting..." message, then "connected," followed by "Invalid CID/P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word." I'm inputting my VATSIM p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word correctly, as far as I know... Is there another p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word I should be aware of? Thanks for any help...

Trial and error works (almost) every time! I flew online the first time tonight, and got the text communication procedure locked (I think). Now, I need to figure out the voice freq for my home area (San Jose, CA). Not so easy to fly and type at the same time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Horan 901577 Posted July 18, 2006 at 06:34 AM Posted July 18, 2006 at 06:34 AM The voice frequency as you've put it is only "on" when a controller has it selected as their Primary Frequency In your case, if there is no local ATC coverage, you transmit on the text-only frequency of UNICOM - 122.8 Do not expect there to be specific coverage everywhere you fly - moreover you might find an enroute controller covering the airspace around your home field, but very rarely are all the positions in a certain area manned Matt www.vatsim.net/prc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
