Stephen Suddaby 995221 0 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 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 post Share on other sites
Board of Governors Matthew Bartels 81 Posted October 29, 2019 Board of Governors Share Posted October 29, 2019 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.

Morten Jelle 8 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 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 Senior Supervisor VATSIM Membership Manager, Asia/Pacific Region Link to post Share on other sites

Nestor Perez 83 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 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 Néstor Pérez A Random Platypus [email protected] Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Suddaby 995221 0 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi, Is it the fact I don't have a microphone plugged in? I was told that shouldn't matter? Link to post Share on other sites

Simon Kelsey 41 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Suddaby 995221 0 Posted October 31, 2019 Author Share Posted October 31, 2019 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 post Share on other sites
Board of Governors Don Desfosse 48 Posted November 1, 2019 Board of Governors Share Posted November 1, 2019 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, Membership Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Suddaby 995221 0 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share Posted November 1, 2019 yes, and it works now I have plugged in a mic. That's taken weeks to work out Link to post Share on other sites
