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

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.

Yes, there was EGLL_N_APP with EGLL_ATIS on and neither made any sound

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.

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

Hi,

 

Is it the fact I don't have a microphone plugged in? I was told that shouldn't matter?

It is definitely this - an input device is required.

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

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
