Hi, I have a big problem when connecting to the VATSIM through Squawkbox. When I click on "connect", a message board recalls me that I have to include my real first name and surname...But I already put them in the flight plan!!!! I don´t know how to fix this...so if anyone can help me would be great.

pd: what do i have to put on "home base"? (flight plan)

If I understand what you're saying:

 

You've prefiled, and now don't understand why you have to re-enter your name when you try to connect with Squawkbox?

 

If that's the case, you simply need to fill out the requested details.

 

Your home base can be where you live, where you were born.. your VA home base - whatever you chose!

Eveytime you connect to VATSIM, you are by a message REMINDED ONLY that you are required to use your real name due to VATSIM rule to use the network. This is not a fail-message and no fix are required if you did already use your real name and not an alias name.

 

You can put any home base you like to be your home-base, typical is to put the airport just closes to you heart.

Ha, my mistake - I wasn't thinking it was that message he was looking at, but a prompt asking him to enter his names when he attempted to connect
