Mike Christianson Posted September 27, 2022 at 06:13 PM Posted September 27, 2022 at 06:13 PM I am using MSFS with Win10 64bit. Also I am using Vpilot. I start my sim and then Vpilot. Everything is working. I try to connect AFV and I get the message "Could not connect to your simulator check configuration." My Vatsim id and password are entered correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. No help. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 27, 2022 at 07:27 PM Posted September 27, 2022 at 07:27 PM When you say you try to connect AFV, what do you mean? You don't need to use a separate AFV client, since the voice code is all built into vPilot.

Mike Christianson Posted September 27, 2022 at 10:07 PM Author Posted September 27, 2022 at 10:07 PM Ross Yes I know. But reading about AFV it sounded like you could use it in conjunction with VPilot. Doesn't AFV give some more radio reality? Like using both coms? Vatsim website makes it sound like you can use both. Thanks Mike Accurate VHF simulation with blocking tones Gain control to help normalize microphone volumes VHF ranging algorithm to adjust radio range based on altitude and curvature of the earth A realistic VHF network based upon real world ATC radio tower data Voice degradation and areas of radio blackout based upon pilot’s altitude and location to the radio towers Ability for Air Traffic Controllers to cross couple or open multiple transmit and receive frequencies at once Ability to use any frequency in the VHF spectrum for voice communications. This includes voice UNICOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 27, 2022 at 10:39 PM Posted September 27, 2022 at 10:39 PM You can use both com radios in vPilot. Where did you read that you need to use the separate AFV client in order to use both com radios?

Mike Christianson Posted September 27, 2022 at 11:24 PM Author Posted September 27, 2022 at 11:24 PM I thought it was in some literature I read about it. I flew today and Com 2 wouldn't work on VPilot. Don't know what I was doing wrong. I had my com 2 radio tuned to center and nothing happens when I transmit on com 2.

Mike Christianson Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:27 AM Author Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:27 AM I did get com 2 working. It was a mistake I was making using my aircraft radio. However since AFV can't be used for connecting to Vatsim. What's it for? Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:48 AM Board of Governors Posted September 28, 2022 at 11:48 AM Controllers use the standalone AFV to control. The pilot client developers all incorporated our voice technology directly into their clients (thanks, developers!).
