Tyler Chen Jiang Posted April 16, 2020 at 06:23 PM Posted April 16, 2020 at 06:23 PM (edited) Hello, I've been having issues with vPilot connecting to the voice servers. I've been getting an error connecting to the voice server with the error message: Connection Failed (Forbidden -) I have run the application as an admin and fiddled with firewall settings to no avail. Does anyone know if it is something on my client side that may be blocking the connection? Is it likely that due to my account being new I can't connect even though I am able to connect to vatsim and fly?

Alejandro Cabeza Cepero 10 Posted April 16, 2020 at 08:24 PM Posted April 16, 2020 at 08:24 PM I am in the same situation as you. Though I have been inactive for a long time but I was able to log into my vatsim profile. I want to get back to online flying but I'm getting the same error on vPilot. Let me know if you find any solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Bohni Posted April 16, 2020 at 09:52 PM Posted April 16, 2020 at 09:52 PM Welcome on Vatsim. Most of the users here are able do read, but a search is to much for them... almost every day there is a Post like these. Is there no informarion on the Registrationpage, that the Voice server will get the Users every 24hours, and so it may take up to 48h until you are able to Connect to the Voiceserver... Take the Time to read, it is worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted April 18, 2020 at 07:27 PM Board of Governors Posted April 18, 2020 at 07:27 PM Actually, every new member receives an email welcoming them to VATSIM and providing their CID/credentials, that includes the following paragraph: Quote We operate with a network of distributed servers. It can take a minimum of 4 hours, and up to 24 hours (although normally much less), for new/updated membership information to be passed to all servers, including the voice server (which operates separately from the flight servers). Within the first 24 hours after registering, reactivating your account, or a password change, if your preferred server rejects your credentials, you are welcome to keep trying different servers in the hopes of finding one that will work. After 24 hours from the time of registration, you should be able to log onto any server. So, yes, it is included during the registration process.
