Hey guys, I have what could be a stupid question, but I'm going to ask anyway. Recently an ATC asked me to "Squawk Normal". I have no idea how to do that. Your "squawk" is your transponder code, correct? He said something like, "hit the nrm button in your sb9 console", or something along those lines... Could you guys help me?

Yep your squawk code is your transponder code. If you have squawkbox 3 then it wil say ident stby norm when they say squawk normal or squawk mode charlie just move your mouse over the norm button and click and when they say squawk standby or ident just point and click thats it.

Okay, I'm really sorry, but what is Squawkbox 3? Is that in the little box that also helps you get online and everything? You know, the box with the pushback controls and everything?

William;

 

What program are you using to connect to VATSIM? There are two programs at the moment, Squawkbox and FSInn. Is sounds like you are using FSInn...

 

Have a read of the FAQ available from the pilot resource centre regarding 'Normal'.

The Pilot Resource Centre ( www.vatsim.net/prc ) is a great place when getting started, and many previous questions and problems have been explained in this resource.

 

Hope this helps

 

John
