George Marinakis Posted February 28, 2005 at 08:36 PM Posted February 28, 2005 at 08:36 PM Hi Mathew: http://vatsim.net/prc Use your VATSIM ID but pick a new p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word (don't use the one issued by VATSIM). Everything you need and want to know (even things you haven't realized yet) are answered in the Pilot Resource Center (PRC). Welcome to VATSIM. George S.

Martin Tait 908838 Posted February 28, 2005 at 11:25 PM Posted February 28, 2005 at 11:25 PM Simple Guide to how i got on vatsim 1 - Download Squawkbox, Advanced Voice Client, AVC Tuner, HostSB, FSUIPC.dll, SB Relay 2 - place the HostSB.dll and FSUIPC.dll into your modules folder located in Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator 9/Modules 3 - install the other programs 4 - Start SB Relay, Start FS2004, create a flight (Starting at a gate NOT the runway ) and start the flight 5 - for the first time you will need to register your modules, so click Modules/FSUIPC... on the grey bar at the top of Flight Simulator. Once thr FSUIPC window is open click register an application program button, Type Squawkbox in the top box marked "enter name", Next, enter the registration code into the three boxes towards the bottom of the window. LWVQ 7I2V 9GPB, click confirm, OK then OK and thats that done 6 - from the top of the FS menu select modules/ HostSB/ Run this simply opens up a grey window (squawkbos will run in this window) 7 - start squawkbox and you will first get a window called "squawkbox multiplayer - multiplayer connect" 8 - enter your callsign (e.g mine is SNV1) in the player name box and then select the "internet TCP/IP" connection for direct play" option from the "connection type" list and then click OK Next is a window calld "squawkbox multiplayer - multiplayer games" is shown click the start search button and type 127.0.0.1 into the pop up box, then click ok you shouls now have a entry list - something like "SBRelay squawkboc2(1/814)" - select this line and then click join. Squawkbox will now start - you should see a picture of aircraft on your desktop (or the grey box we opened in fs2004 earlier) - click the button under the picture saying "click hear to get into the action" and thats that done. You should now see a dark grey box in the light grey box with "welcome to squawkbox 2.3 for MSFS" in green on the bottom! 9 - right click in squawkbox (the dark grey box with green writing) and select squawk standby right click in squawkbox and select ATC Functions, change callsign, and enter your callsign. right click in squawkbox and select ATC Functions, file flight plan (enter the information anouy your online flight) 10 - right click in squawkbox and select connect you should get a window named "connect to PC/SB Server" select the server you want to use (i usualy connect to 80.249.98.88 UK-1) Below that enter your VATSIM ID in Pilot Registration Number and your vatsim p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word below click OK and if you have your internet connection running, within a few seconds you should here a Ping-Pong noise and the blue bars aboce the o IDENT box disappearing, with a welcome to vatsim message Once you've dont that, right click squawkbox and select Disconnect to leave VATSIM Thats it!
