Ahmet Efe YILDIRIM 1004720 Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:26 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:26 PM Hello from Turkey I've been having a connection problem for the last few days. This problem appeared without any update or any change. When I want to connect to any VATSIM server, I get the error "[ERROR] Connection refused". Tried on different servers several times, the result is the same (UK1, USA-W etc) Also, I checked Firewall and Antivirus program setting Is it a general problem? Thank in advance Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:33 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:33 PM the result is the same (UK1, USA-W etc) Some of the servers have been changed. Currently they show as: !SERVERS: CANADA:165.22.239.218:Toronto, Canada:CANADA:1: GERMANY:167.71.49.142:Frankfurt, Germany:GERMANY:1: AUSTRALIA:180.200.247.40:Australia:OCEANIA:1: SINGAPORE:68.183.185.148:Singapore:SINGAPORE:1: UK:167.71.136.59:London, UK:UK:1: USA-EAST:134.209.67.219:New York, USA:USA-EAST:1: USA-WEST:165.22.163.56:San Francisco, USA:USA-WEST:1: Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmet Efe YILDIRIM 1004720 Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:52 PM Author Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:52 PM Hello Norman thanks for the quick reply Am I fill these servers information manually into the Squawkbox? Or just server names changed? Is there something I need to do manually? I am not sure. Thanks Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Blackburn Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:53 PM Posted August 16, 2019 at 12:53 PM From what I recall you can simply type in the IP in the connection box. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Proctor Posted August 17, 2019 at 04:02 PM Posted August 17, 2019 at 04:02 PM Thanks for the help. I am running FS9 with SB4 and thanks to the [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance here I was able to turn a slight panic into a good vibe. I am curious, on a posted NOTAM it mentioned that SB will be getting the axe. I am way too invested for FS9 and I have seen mentioned that the network really does not want to support software that is ancient so how much out of luck am I? I have done all of my time on FS9 and do not want a forced exit after nearly 14 years on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebojsa milosavljevic Posted August 18, 2019 at 09:34 AM Posted August 18, 2019 at 09:34 AM From what i see ,swift client will not operate on Windows XP. Please tell me that it is not true. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestor Perez Posted August 18, 2019 at 11:40 AM Posted August 18, 2019 at 11:40 AM (edited) The question is why would you still use Windows XP? I'm not criticising or questioning anybody's decisions, but just want to make clear that it reached its EOL a very long time ago and now only poses a security risk for yourself, as it has no more security updates to keep it up to date.

Andreas Fuchs Posted August 18, 2019 at 02:06 PM Posted August 18, 2019 at 02:06 PM Yes, swift only works from Windows 7 upwards.

David Franklin Posted August 18, 2019 at 05:26 PM Posted August 18, 2019 at 05:26 PM I just ran into this issue today. Luckily, the server down under hasn't changed as someone told me. It seems there's a .dll file for VATSIM in the SB files. Could that be changed there to change the IP? I didn't see an option to just change the IP like you can input your number.

nebojsa milosavljevic Posted August 18, 2019 at 09:17 PM Posted August 18, 2019 at 09:17 PM Sorry Nestor,but my pc runs sooooo good on XP . I am aware that the support for it has stopped and that i have opened my self to potential problems. I am living with that possibility. I have read over the years how some people are having issues installing FS9/X in other windows ,and it scares me.That is why i am hanging on the XP .Everything game related to FS9 install's with no problem (for me). My system is over 10 years old and i have maxed out the rams that i can have . I have a whopping 2GB. My video card is original. If squawk box is going to be around for a couple more years, before it becomes useless i will be happy with that. Then we will have to make a decision. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... As was clearly advertised months ago, with respect to SB/FSInn and any other legacy unsupported and soon-to-be-retired clients, you're looking at maybe a couple or few months best case (for you), or even weeks.... you may want to start planning for the present/future....

Mike Lehkamp Posted August 19, 2019 at 08:17 AM Posted August 19, 2019 at 08:17 AM And unfortunately Swift sucks with FS9 (does not work). Spent 3 weeks some time ago trying to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist the developers in making it compatible. They finally gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted August 19, 2019 at 09:15 AM Posted August 19, 2019 at 09:15 AM I hope that the swift team will be able to fix those issues at a later point in time. I understand that it is more important to prioritize current SIMs such as FSX/P3D and X-Plane, since they are the most used. For those who are reluctant to change from FS9 to a more recent SIM: I was in the same position last year and I switched to X-Plane 11. Happy since, especially there's still a great sense of community with a lot of high quality freeware sceneries.

nebojsa milosavljevic Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:01 AM Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:01 AM It is amazing how they get you to the point if you want to continue to sim, you have to spend $$$$$. I have started way back with Microsoft flight simulator 98.IVAO first then moved to VATSIM. Then FS 2000,then FS9. My first payware was to be Dream Fleet 737, but PIC767 came first. I got PIC767.Beautiful. Then i got Dream Fleet 737. My pc could not handle it, so went back to PIC 767. Then i got PMDG737,PSS 757,Level-D 767,Eaglesoft Citation X.....all legal ones. Maxed out my pc with the most ram it can handle. I love this hobby.Talked to a lot of great people over the years on the forums. All of us who are still using FS9 or Windows XP will have to come with the idea that if we want to continue ,we have to upgrade,especially if you want to be online. I will take my PC and update to windows7 later today, but it might be useless if swift does not work in FS9. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestor Perez Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:08 AM Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:08 AM Just a tip: If you don’t want to have to update again in 2 years, install Windows 10 and not Windows 7 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/end-of-windows-7-support Me.

Andreas Fuchs Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:30 AM Posted August 19, 2019 at 11:30 AM If his PC is so old and slow, will it run Win7 or Win10 at all with the performance that he expects?
