Hello,

i have written a little Plugin for vPilot and want to test it.
It is for using ACARS Network and also SELCAL.
But i dont want to disturb any Controllers at work but also dont want to break any Vatsim Rules.

So what i nee to know:
- How can i test it ? Means i need to be connected as Controller and Pilot at the same Time, bt i know it is not allowed on Vatsim.
- What Controller client do i need to use to send a SELCAL and how to do that ?
- what software are Controllers using for communications on ACARS Network ? ( hoppie.nl )

Can anyone please help ?

Thanks
Matthias

- When using Euroscope type ''.selcal «code»'', then click the aircraft (Command Line Reference – EuroScope)

- With Euroscope, most controllers use the Topsky plugin: https://vats.im/TopSkyPlugin. Keep in mind this requires you to use custom TAGs.
