Elias Stassinos Posted May 20, 2020 at 06:09 AM Posted May 20, 2020 at 06:09 AM I have already posted this to Topsky's forum but i wanted to ask here also for the people that have been using CPDLC with Topsky with success. I have been testing CPDLC . vSMR's DCL/PDC tested out ok. I tried to test the same with Topsky (2.2.1 b11) and i met difficulties: On our DCL test i keep getting this: Logon was ok, Telex was ok, but we got stuck in PDC as i wasn't able to take action on it, prob ably cause of the "MESSAGE NOT SUPPORTED" message. Also there wasn't any indication in the departure list (actually i cant find a filed to add in the TAG) Any idea what am i doing wrong? __________________________________________________________________________________________Elias Stassinos - Author of PTTBuddy - Automatic volume control while you fly / play /streamMy FS Photos - My MSFS Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Jelle Posted May 20, 2020 at 09:06 AM Posted May 20, 2020 at 09:06 AM (edited) The request must in a exact format. The format that will work is this one in the picture. I am quite sure this was also written in the developer manual. So unless you write the message in the correct format, it will not work for you. The FSLabs and Hoppies own CPDLC tool does this and it works.

Andreas Fuchs Posted May 20, 2020 at 11:54 AM Posted May 20, 2020 at 11:54 AM If you want to check all Hoppie ACARS messages in real time, use this link: http://www.hoppie.nl/acars/system/log.html This way you can verify if the pilot sent the request with the correct format. Do you what CPDLC client that pilot used? Did he send you a Telex message or did he use the pre-defined PDC-page?

Which is a really weird format for something, that is a well defined message (but I know where it comes from :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Stassinos Posted May 21, 2020 at 05:45 AM Author Posted May 21, 2020 at 05:45 AM (edited) Ok Guys , thanks. I will check it out first by reusing messages to check validity and then i will test it in my ATC sessions. One question more. In the manual says that there will be an indication in the departure list , but i dont see any field there and there is no available field that i can add to the Departure list. Does the CLR field appear automatically or something? Also i would need a working setup for TopSky PDLC in order to dig into and see the necessary changes/additions i need to make it work. Where can i find the setup of vACC's that have it working for them? I found portugal's case here: https://github.com/pinatacolada/topskylppc Edited May 21, 2020 at 02:22 PM by Elias Stassinos __________________________________________________________________________________________Elias Stassinos - Author of PTTBuddy - Automatic volume control while you fly / play /streamMy FS Photos - My MSFS Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i start sweatbox , the TopSky CONNECT button for CPDLC is not active. vSMR works though for PDC... __________________________________________________________________________________________Elias Stassinos - Author of PTTBuddy - Automatic volume control while you fly / play /streamMy FS Photos - My MSFS Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the CLR field appear automatically or something? No, once you have loaded the plugin, you will have to edit the departure list and add a column and use the button function "TopSky Plugin / Open PDC Menu". I have simply added that as a right click over the "Clearance Received Flag". On 5/21/2020 at 7:45 AM, Elias Stassinos said: Where can i find the setup of vACC's that have it working for them? Finland, Sweden and Denmark in Scandinavia has working setups using TopSky. But I suggest you don't do copy paste, but use it as references together with the developer manual.

I can imagine that CPDLC only will work when connected to the VATSIM Network in order to avoid confusion, but I don't really know for sure. What I did was having a few people flying around in my airspace whilst controlling. Which can be quite fun at the same time. 😉 1 Morten Jelle VATSIM Network Supervisor, Team Lead - Supervisor Team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
