Hi Andreas, 

I am using XSB 1.0.4, because i could't find a newer version that is compatible with X-Plane 9.70

XSB versions 1.3.3 and below have been de-authorised from the network. I'm not sure if there is a way to connect to VATSIM using X-Plane 9 anymore, as XSB now requires X-Plane 10+, and xPilot (which I believe is available on Windows only) requires X-Plane 11.

Supporting X-Plane 9.x just isn't feasible anymore.   XP9 is missing a handful of features that some of the client infrastructure is now dependent upon and supporting older versions of macOS and X-Plane is not an insignificant task - I really cannot justify the effort to work around those absences.

Also, if you're capable of running X-Plane 9, you're not running the latest MacOS.  X-Plane 9 does not and cannot work on macOS 10.15 due to the removal of 32-bit application support - I suspect you're actually running on an older version of macOS.

Given X-Plane 10 came out in 2012, it may well be time to consider upgrading - I suspect your hardware will probably struggle with 11 given the likely age, but you may want to download the demo of 10 and see if it suits your needs - you could still purchase it direct from Laminar last time I looked.  (It's still on retail shelves here in Australia too).    XSB2.x will support X-Plane 10 for the rest of it's foreseeable future, but be aware that XP10 is reaching the end of it's viable support life too thanks to Apple ripping out 32-bit app support in 10.15.
