Nowhere can I find the settings for networking vPilot. I am running version 2.2.2 on both computers. W10 and W7.

In the settings menu I have only:-

Network

Notifications

Audio

PTT

Model Matching

Performance

Updates

Miscellaneous

Under Miscellaneous I have:-

Automatically squark mode C on takeoff

Keep window visible.

 

Nowhere can I find the commands for host/remote.

 

Your help would be appreciated

Sounds like you're running vPilot in the default "standalone" mode. You only see the "Host" settings tab if you're running in Host or Remote mode.

Sir Thank you for your prompt reply,

 

All I did was to install on both computers from the installation panel. How can I get it to install on anything but the standalone mode?

Thank you for your rely. I have read and I think digested the network details in the manual about 50 times.

 

What is confusing me is:-

 

To launch vPilot in host or remote mode, you can use the special shortcuts that were created in your start menu programs list when you installed vPilot.

 

I cannot find these shortcuts you speak of and each installation results in them being "standalone".

 

Help gratefully received

You don't have the shortcuts in your programs list?

Hello

At no stage have I seen this list.

I presume you mean that i expect to find it under the directory listing of all files in Vpilot,

which has bean created in C:\Users\App Data\Local\Vpilot.

 

This is how the installation program set it up.

 

Sorry to be a pain!

No, it's in the programs list, on the start menu.

Thank you for your help. Your fine program is now working on the network.

 

Nowhere could I find the list that you produced on you 2nd to last reply.

 

So what did I do?

 

Did a search through Windows for the required files and hey presdo they were there. By transferring the exe file to an icon on the desktop I can get the loading executed

 

I could start the two programs and was able to connect when IP address installed on the remote

 

SOOO I can now sneak off from the cockpit to have a cup of tea etc and yet keep tabs on Vatsim on a separate laptop!

Thank you for your prompt replies and support

 

Cheers
