Answer no 1 is that you don't need the advanced voice client. Both squawkbox and FSInn have their own built in voice capabilities. I suggest you read the software tutorials in the pilot resource center at www.vatsim.net/prc which will walk you thorugh getting set up.

 

Answer no 2 With regard to callsigns, you choose your own. For some guidance on how to do that select tutorial 200/300 Prereqs, and you'll find the article on callsign is the first one in the list that comes up.

Ruth - PRC item 103 (Software Setup) still refers to AVC as being required. I don't know why but it does still say you need it.

On checking, as far as I can see AVC is required for Squawkbox 2.3 only. So it's only needed if you're using FS2000. I've asked the PRC guys to make it clearer.

 

Which FS program are you using, Rob?
