Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted March 26, 2020 at 12:02 AM Posted March 26, 2020 at 12:02 AM I am new to X-Plane and VatSim. After connecting to VatSim with swift, I was wondering if my login information would show up in the USER tab. My login is not visible. Ian R.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 26, 2020 at 08:50 AM Posted March 26, 2020 at 08:50 AM Hi Ian, I am trying to understand your issue. What do you mean with "login information"? Whether you are connected to VATSIM or not? You have that on swiftGUI. On the top you have a set of LED type status lights that indicate your network connection and simulator connection, among others. In this sample you can see that swift is NOT connected to VATSIM, but it has a valid connection to the simulator.

Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted March 27, 2020 at 03:05 AM Author Posted March 27, 2020 at 03:05 AM Hi Andreas Like I said new, to this installed Swift and having interesting time setting it up. The connection to VatSim is working. I am able to see aircraft, listen to ATC etc. at Toronto CYYZ. I was just wondering if my name would be visible on the user tab when connected. Lights on:Network, Simulator, Mapper Ready, & Audio. Not DBus Also the server tab voice server is https://voice1.vatsim.uk and AfV map URL is https://afv-map.vatsim.net/ Not sure why I am in the UK... Was trying to send a screenshot, but is not working??? I spend more time fiddling then learning to fly. Thanks for your help! Ian R.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 27, 2020 at 10:29 AM Posted March 27, 2020 at 10:29 AM Hi Ian, ah, maybe you are on outdated version of swift? The current public ALPHA version of swift is now 0.9.4.206 (as of yesterday). Go and fetch it here: https://datastore.swift-project.org/page/publicartifacts.php Note: with ALPHA versions you have to extract/install the xswiftbus-archive yourself, manually. It is very simple, just open the 7z-file of xswiftbus and drag the xswiftbus-folder from there into X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins, overwriting the pre-existing version. I have created a number of tutorial videos to get people started with swift, some of its episodes may be of use to you!

Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted March 28, 2020 at 04:50 PM Author Posted March 28, 2020 at 04:50 PM HI Again, Andreas I did what you suggested in downloading and installing the latest Swift installer & swiftBus. Maybe I need to uninstall Swift and try again. The program is not working the way it should be. I am in Ontario Canada near Toronto CYYZ and it looks like from the ATC & Aircraft displayed in Swift, I am somewhere in Europe? Can you [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist me in Deleting all the Swift files, and start again. It's too bad I am unable to send you screen shots of the file directories. Ian R.

Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted March 30, 2020 at 08:50 PM Author Posted March 30, 2020 at 08:50 PM Hi Andreas I reinstalled the Blue Bells aircraft and followed your YouTube video on the installation again. Looks like everything is back working again. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it. I will monitor it and let you known if there is a problem in the future. Ian R.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 30, 2020 at 09:08 PM Posted March 30, 2020 at 09:08 PM Hi Ian, thanks for your feedback! Does swift now recognize your Zibo aircraft in the connect-dialogue? If not, you may have to add them to the mapping.

Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted March 31, 2020 at 06:55 PM Author Posted March 31, 2020 at 06:55 PM HI Andreas There is an error message that pops up and indicates the problem that you just said. Is there a video of yours that explains how to add the B738-800 ZIBO-Mod to the list?

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 31, 2020 at 08:44 PM Posted March 31, 2020 at 08:44 PM Hi Ian, you should be able to do this in the Connect dialogue. Could you try this and let me know how you get along? https://dev.swift-project.org/w/help/spc/instantmap/ Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Robertson 1385021 Posted April 1, 2020 at 12:10 AM Author Posted April 1, 2020 at 12:10 AM Hi Andreas Looks like that fixed the problem with my ZIBO-Mod aircraft. Ian PS I have audio but the audio light on the GUI is not on. Is there a problem, or forget it?

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 1, 2020 at 09:44 AM Posted April 1, 2020 at 09:44 AM Hi Ian, great that you got the airplane to work! The Audio light will only be active for as long as you press your PTT. If you wish to have audible feedback when pressing your PTT, you can enable this in swift's audio settings. I do that and when I press my PTT I hear a "click" sound.

Mike Lehkamp Posted April 2, 2020 at 09:49 AM Posted April 2, 2020 at 09:49 AM >>>I reinstalled the Blue Bells aircraft and followed your YouTube video<<< What does "Blue Baells" have to do with FS9? Am I missing something? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted April 2, 2020 at 02:55 PM Posted April 2, 2020 at 02:55 PM Indeed, I did not pick this one up. Ian, BlueBell and X-CSL are for X-Plane only. For FS9 I recommend installing WoAI: https://www.world-of-ai.com/installer.php Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
