Hi - hope someone can help. Only been on Vatsim last few days running FSX and FSInn (Latest version). Seems to work fine for about 20 mins maybe then disconnects and will NOT reconnect again till at least a few hours. Its quite embarr[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ing as tonight I was disconnected on short finals to Bristol... My FSUIPC is the free version, does that only give limited Vatsim time?? Its also the latest. I'm running an AMD X2 4200+, Geforce PCIEx 16x 256MB graphics, 2gb 800MHz PC6400 RAM on an Asus crosshair motherboard and a 1mb broadband connection. I also run a Toshiba Satellite laptop on LAN which i use to grab charts/approach plates and weather off the net as I preflight.

 

I dont use a router for my BB, and I dont have firewalls except what came with XP-Pro SP2.

 

Hope someone can help - and apologies to all the ATC's who had to deal with disappearing 172s...

FSInn does not use FSUIPC to interface FS. (For Squawkbox-3 no FSUIPC license or registration are required.)

 

For disconnection problem, first make sure to try different VATSIM servers, stay at the one you find stable for you.

 

If you been disconnected during flight, that happen everybody sometimes, just connect again (you only need to re-connect). If unable to re-connect or disconnect repeats, change server.

Hi - thanks for the tip, but I can only find one server IP for Vatsim UK. I've looked all over the Vatsim websites but cant find an alternate!

You find all online server at VATSIM main site -> NETWORK "Who's online".

You may type the IP-address e.g. 216.93.170.44 for USA-W.

It doesnt matter which server I try to log in to - the problem is still there. Tonight I can't get connected at all. Sometimes it says and thinks its connected, but ATC and radar are all blank, and FSInn jams so I have to quit FSX to get rid of it. This is a brand-new PC so XP-SP2, FSX, FSInn, Teamspeak etc are all fresh installs. I'm mainly trying the VATSIM-UK1 server but have tried a few others now too with no luck.

 

As I speak - The FSFDT control panel thinks vatsim is connected, the comm beeps when I transmit, but there's no traffic within 400 miles and no ATC anywhere.

 

Help! Losing interest fast!
