connection on vatsim net using fs9 or fsx (installed both in the same computer)

[STEFAN LAGOS]

I try to be connected 1 year ago (trying about every month) to vatsim net with swift or vpilot and it is absolutely impossible. I am absolutely frustrated. Can somebody help?

Hi Stefan,

we will try to help you. First of all, make sure you download and install the latest version of swift pilot client: https://github.com/swift-project/pilotclient/releases/tag/v0.12.48 Yes, install our latest ALPHA version. It is stable and fine.

For the SIM platforms that you have mentioned, you will have to install the 32bit version of swift.

When you install it, please follow our installation guide by the dot: https://docs.swift-project.org/doku.php?id=installation_windows

If you cannot connect FS9 to swift, make sure

• both programs are run "as administrator"
• FSUIPC (free version is enough) is installed

If automatic connection does not work, connect manually through FS9:

1. in FS9 and open the menu Multiplayer and choose Connect
2. In the connect-dialogue, swift\'s multiplayer-session should appear within a few seconds. Select it and then click on Join
3. After joining swift's multiplayer-session, change back to swift GUI and check that the status-light next to sim is lit and that swift is able to detect your aircraft model
