Newbie Needs Help with vPilot Recognition of Filed Flight Plan

[Peter Rodgers]

I registered with VATSIM last week, passed the test and loaded a flight plan into VATSIM after creating the plan in Simbrief.  It all worked as expected (albeit, my ATC communication skills were quite challenged).  But after that first go, I repeatedly have been unable to get vPilot to recognize the flight plans I have created in a similar fashion.  I am able to log into vPilot, but when I try to connect, it keeps telling me that there is no flight plan found to be on file, even though on the VATSIM flight planning page, it says that my plan indeed has been filed (the little green message that come back after one clicks the file button).  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

And one other question.  I find VATSpy to be rather dodgy.  It loads only about a third of the time, even after I deleted the app and reloaded it.  Am I alone?

Please do the following in order for us to be able to help you.

Post the URL of the prefiled flight plan you have filed using the prefile system.

Check Vatspy to see if your prefiled flight plan is showing.

Triple check your callsign you are using when connecting with vpilot, flight plans are identified by the callsign not your CID/PID.

Here is the URL of my flight plan:  https://my.vatsim.net/pilots/flightplan?altitude=29000&fuel_time=0308&raw=(FPL-DAH10-IS -TBM9%2FL-SDFGRWY%2FS -EIDW1820 -LIFFY2E LIFFY Q36 ALAVA Z195 MALUD UL975 WAL M16 DOLAS L603 LAMSO -EHAM0134 EBBR -PBN%2FD2 DOF%2F201017 REG%2FN900SB EET%2FEGTT0008 EHAA0112 OPR%2FDAH PER%2FB RMK%2FTCAS SIMBRIEF)&speed=315

I checked VATSpy and did not see the flight plan.  And I still cannot connect to VPilot.

Flight plan prefiles fine.

Your connection data suggest you have never logged into the network using the call sign DAH10
