Ashot Hakobyan Posted June 10, 2021 at 05:26 AM Author Posted June 10, 2021 at 05:26 AM let us know when you graduate through beta, will be glad to test on platforms other than the *chosen one* after all, all the existing VATSIM controller software happily work almost everywhere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Teale Posted July 28, 2021 at 02:49 AM Posted July 28, 2021 at 02:49 AM That's a joke, right? Vatsys is hardly much more restrictive than any other ATC client. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashot Hakobyan Posted July 28, 2021 at 03:08 AM Author Posted July 28, 2021 at 03:08 AM No, no joke. I run Windows Server 2019 and Vatsys currently does not allow installation on that platform, yet as you say every other VATSIM client, ATC or pilot, runs well here. Hence, my guess is, it just needs a bit more time to widen the applicable range of platforms, it is still in public beta stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Teale Posted July 28, 2021 at 04:10 AM Posted July 28, 2021 at 04:10 AM No, it was the "almost everywhere" part I couldn't believe was not in jest. Presumably you could try install it anyway and see what breaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Teale Posted July 28, 2021 at 04:24 AM Posted July 28, 2021 at 04:24 AM Well yeah, but that wouldn't be real hard to change for testing purposes. You just tell vatSys you are on a different OS than you really are. On a Windows platform I guess I'd use olly for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Teale Posted July 28, 2021 at 05:19 AM Posted July 28, 2021 at 05:19 AM Its not in beta. You might be waiting a while, particularly if you aren't providing feedback about what breaks on Windows server edition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashot Hakobyan Posted July 28, 2021 at 05:23 AM Author Posted July 28, 2021 at 05:23 AM (edited) it is in public beta and i did post the problem at the head of this topic Edited July 28, 2021 at 05:34 AM by Ashot Hakobyan added image 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Teale Posted July 28, 2021 at 01:44 PM Posted July 28, 2021 at 01:44 PM Well no, you posted that the installer doesnt let you install. That isnt really the kind of feedback I had in mind for what breaks. Particularly seeing as there would be any number of workarounds for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashot Hakobyan Posted July 28, 2021 at 10:22 PM Author Posted July 28, 2021 at 10:22 PM Your suggested path is ill advised. There must not be "workarounds" to what the intended use of software, this would immediately make any further testing effort counterproductive. The developer clearly states in the installation message not to go down that path, one must respect their choice. Once again, it has been clearly stated above by the developer of vatSys that there are no plans to adopt the software to some versions of Windows. And we should humbly respect that decision. I hope we all finally understand and accept this simple fact as I did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashot Hakobyan Posted July 29, 2021 at 02:49 AM Author Posted July 29, 2021 at 02:49 AM please note above vatSys does not run on Windows 7 64bit either, so let's leave it at that and let the developer carry on with the public beta testing as they panned; undoubtedly the time for adaption to other Windows platforms will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Teale Posted July 29, 2021 at 03:15 AM Posted July 29, 2021 at 03:15 AM yknow, it doesn't run on XP or 98, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashot Hakobyan Posted July 29, 2021 at 05:14 AM Author Posted July 29, 2021 at 05:14 AM i don't know that, i cannot verify, nor does the developer state so, but it is known not to install on Windows 8 64bit either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liesel Downes Posted July 29, 2021 at 05:35 AM Posted July 29, 2021 at 05:35 AM Why should Jake go into the effort of making consumer end software work on a server product. They're both Windows OSs but they're different. Just try using Edge without authorising a new IP every 5 seconds. I'm fairly sure vatSys relies on technology that is only good for Windows 10, and even then, Windows 7 is out of its support lifecycle. Software developers shouldn't be making new software for it. 1 Liesel Downes she/her/hers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
