I'm having problems getting to the web address that has the software for me to download. Does anyone know of a solution,? Is there a different address that I can go to to get the programs?

There are a number of different software packages mentioned in the PRC. There's servinfo and a few others. However, I'm sure you're referring to one of the pilot clients. We would have to know which pilot client (version) you're referring to, to help you.

 

We would also like to see the link that you're saying isn't working for you.

I followed the links from the PRC to "VATSIM 103 - Software Setup" to "VATSIM 103h - FSInn Set-up for ..." to where it says FSCopilot and FSInn. At this point I am still in www.vatsim.net/prc/. I then click on any of the downloads and get an error. eg. If I click on the first one, FSCopilot 1.6 I get the following message back in a new window "Internet Exployer cannot display the webpage". The web address is "www.mcdu.com/redirect.php?id=58"

 

I have tried going direct to mcdu with the same result.

Hi, Bill. I just checked and that link works fine.

 

By the way, take a look at the first message in the FSInn Support forum:

 

Announcement - Installing FSInn

http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=20466

 

Follow the link that reference to download and read the text in that link, which will point you to the latest FSInn1.3 which the author Benjamin and I would recommend over the version 1.2.

 

If you can, you might try a different computer, whereas there are occasions where some sites are not available to some locations. There's a long thread of a discussion where one whole community can not log onto the www.vatsim.net site.

Larry,

 

I get the same error as before on both those links. At the top of the thread it mentioned Windows Media Player 9, I check my system and I have version 11 which is for XP. It would appear that I can't get to some of thew pages inside mcdu.com. Is there somewhere outside mcdu that I could try?

 

Bill.

You're right. there is a reference to Media Player. But of course the whole message is very important to read. The whole message is giving very important information about version 1.3.

 

If you have any questions after reading the whole message, let me know. But again, the whole message is very important.

 

As far as downloading, try using a download agent and see if that fixes the error you get when trying to download.
