Stephen Suddaby 995221 Posted October 29, 2019 at 09:18 PM Posted October 29, 2019 at 09:18 PM Hi, I'm posting here because I'm at a loss on what to do. I use vPilot and have done for a few years before AFV came out, it worked before that. However after updating vPilot for AFV I've heard nothing on vPilot. It doesnt play the sound when switching frequencies. So far I have: Set up port forwarding on router Tried moving closer to the radio station Uninstalled vPilot and installed it back, also emptied the config file so it was a clean install Checked that vpilot is not muted in Windows Checked that the output device is set to the same as the output all the other applications that play sound This is P3D V4 Any ideas? Thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Bartels Posted October 29, 2019 at 11:38 PM Posted October 29, 2019 at 11:38 PM Dumb question time. Was there online air traffic control? Also you won’t hear that little ding sound when switching frequencies as that’s been removed. You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Yes, there was EGLL_N_APP with EGLL_ATIS on and neither made any sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Jelle Posted October 30, 2019 at 01:57 PM Posted October 30, 2019 at 01:57 PM Did you check that the frequency was highlighted in the top right corner in vPilot? The frequency should be blue if your radio is tuned correctly. Morten Jelle VATSIM Network Supervisor, Team Lead - Supervisor Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestor Perez Posted October 30, 2019 at 11:51 PM Posted October 30, 2019 at 11:51 PM Try setting a microphone device too, please. And yes, even if you are going to fly as 'Receive Only' There is no longer a bEeP-bOoP sound when changing frequencies. Don't worry about that Me.

Stephen Suddaby 995221 Posted October 31, 2019 at 02:11 PM Author Posted October 31, 2019 at 02:11 PM Hi, Is it the fact I don't have a microphone plugged in? I was told that shouldn't matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Suddaby 995221 Posted October 31, 2019 at 10:51 PM Author Posted October 31, 2019 at 10:51 PM Hi, Okay, thanks. I've ordered a headset it should be here tommorow and I will test tommorow. If this is the reason, then maybe in the next update of vpilot this could be fixed because there are still some pilots that prefer to use receive only, or if this is meant to happen then maybe put a warning on to say that receiving voice will be disabled until you plug in a mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted November 1, 2019 at 10:20 PM Board of Governors Posted November 1, 2019 at 10:20 PM I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but I do find it just a little funny -- VATSIM's way of *really* encouraging people to go voice Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Suddaby 995221 Posted November 1, 2019 at 10:37 PM Author Posted November 1, 2019 at 10:37 PM yes, and it works now I have plugged in a mic. That's taken weeks to work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
