Isaac Elsner Posted May 4, 2019 at 07:41 PM Posted May 4, 2019 at 07:41 PM So i was forcefully disconnected from vatsim and i dont know why. As i was aware i wasn't breaking any of the vatsim rules. I did follow ATC instructions as well and i am above the age limit for using vatsim. Any Anwsers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't receive any messages from a VATSIM Supervisor, it was just a temporary loss of connectivity. The caveat to that is that if you were flying via X-Plane and connected via XSquawkBox without also installing the XSBMsgSound plugin, you might have been getting private messages without knowing it.

Kenneth Haught Posted May 5, 2019 at 10:09 AM Posted May 5, 2019 at 10:09 AM ...and then you should consider trying out "swift". Haha shameless plug (but seriously it's leaps and bounds better than what XSB offers "out of the box" especially for newer members. ... Any Anwsers? If you did not see any messages, and did not receive an email to your registered VATSIM account (check SPAM just in case) then it was likely either a timeout with the client or server you were connected too. If you were disconnected by a supervisor then you would have received an email stating the reason why your connection was terminated.

Andreas Fuchs Posted May 5, 2019 at 08:36 PM Posted May 5, 2019 at 08:36 PM Give swift a try. Should you do so, make sure that you move the XSquawkbox-folder out of the Plugins-directory. Otherwise it will interfere with AI-aircraft and you won't see other pilots through swift.
