Michael Michno Posted November 24, 2021 at 05:56 PM Posted November 24, 2021 at 05:56 PM Hello everyone, I have been trying to get into VATSIM recently, but whenever I try to use the Mode C button in Vpilot it does not work. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:08 PM Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:08 PM We found a bug in FSUIPC version 4.976 ... are you running that? John just released a fix earlier today in version 4.977.

Michael Michno Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:11 PM Author Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:11 PM Not sure how I view which version I am using. Could you direct me to how to see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Michno Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:12 PM Author Posted November 24, 2021 at 06:12 PM Never mind, I found it out and I am using 4.976. If updating does not fix it I'll post here again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if there is a tower cab controller online at your destination, they'll likely be broadcasting an ATIS which you can access by using VATSPY. Just as easy is to join the network and you can type ".atis KABC_ATIS", replacing KABC with the ICAO airport code for your destination. If there is no ATIS available at your destination, you can also use the ".metar KABC" command to pull up the METAR for the airfield. Remember, though, weather is dynamic and winds have a tendency to change, and consequently so does runway configuration, so while it's good to have a preliminary plan when you launch, you're going to have to be flexible when you actually arrive at your destination.
