First of all, did you check that you are in a populated area?Are your sound settings correct?

To receive VATSIM voice continues, it is requireed to open UDP port 3290.

 

If you have router you normaly need manual config the router.

 

There are two general way to do this:

1. To open and forward port UDP 3290 to the IP-address of the PC with SB3 (or FSInn).

2. To open port UDP 3290 trigged by TCP 6809 ( 'cause SB3 does continues send messages at TCP 6809, IP-address of the PC with SB3 are not required to know).

 

However if you send voice, the port should automatically be hold open by the router to receive voice for a while. That mean if you push the SB3 push to talk button, you should be able to receive VATSIM voice for a while after the push (router open port timeout).

 

 

For a PC software antivirus/firewall it should display that that receiving messages appear at UDP port 3290, and prompt if you allow traffic. But the antivirus/firewall may need to be configured to message and prompt to open ports. Run FS in Window-mode (not full screen), so that you see the firewall-message.

 

 

Other issuse may be common Windows/PC sound issuses. Make sure you have select correct sound output device in SB3.
