Lukas Igel Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I don't if this is a general bug or if my vPilot just hasn't updated but whenever I get a SELCAL notification I only get the sound and the message in the sim, but not the vPilot taskbar icon flashing even though I have checked it in the vPilot settings... This way the SELCAL will almost always go unnoticed... Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Do you have any of the other taskbar flash options enabled? Do they work? Do you run vPilot as an administrator?

Lukas Igel Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 Thanks for the reply. Yes the contact me and generally message flash does work and I do run vPilot as an administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I just took a look through the source code, and it seems that the "Flash taskbar on SELCAL" setting doesn't actually do anything. The code for that must have been removed accidentally at some point in the past when I did a major update. I'll add it to the todo list to get it functional again. I do not know when I will be doing the next vPilot update. It might be quite a while, since I'm currently focusing on ATC client work.

Lukas Igel Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 Also if any of the vPilot devs read this: Currently flying CTP and I thought to myself, if the SELCAL notification with the taskbar flashing is being fixed it would also be nice to have some other kind of indicator that you received a SELCAL e.g. like when you receive a contact-me or message that it opens a new message tab. Maybe that could be the same thing with a SELCAL so that it's like receiving a message from the (oceanic) controller which just says SELCAL or something... Or maybe even better create a colored message in the "Messages" tab of the frequency that's only visible to you. I would really appreciate that. Thank You :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drikus JansenVanVuuren Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I agree with Lukas, some sort of message tab or SECAL written to the messages would be great. Flew CTP I use headset for ATC and external speakers for other sounds, and it's easy to miss a SELCAL notification sound 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The flashing taskbar on SELCAL has been fixed in 2.8.3, which will be available soon. I also added a line in the messages window when the SELCAL alert comes in: 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
