I recently introduced a friend of mine to VATSIM. I guided him through the setup process, opened all the ports etc. I can see him at an airport but he can't see me. Any suggestions? Thanks

First of all I have some questions.

 

1.What is he using?FSInn or Squawkbox?

2.Does he have any AI packages installed?

3.Did you try any other except the one that you guys used while trying it the first time?

Regards

Have you tried first connecting to Vatsim with squawkbox and then connecting in FS9? I had the same problem a while ago and SB3 said that if I wanted to see other multiplayer aircraft I should connect to the network in flight simulator self after connecting SB3.

 

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info!!

 

I found out it was a conflict with AVAST antivirus, after trying everything else.

 

But AVAST was the culprit!!

 

Once again thanks!!
