Joshua Black Posted January 26, 2008 at 05:17 AM Posted January 26, 2008 at 05:17 AM www.vatsim.net/prc/ is the best place to start. If you need help with FSInn and getting it setup, go here: http://www.mcdu.com/en/download.php and scroll down to "Docomeentation" Joshua Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you use FSInn? What are the first steps for the first flight? (set the settings, etc.) The first flight page doesn't thave the info I need. Hi, Kush. The answer to all your questions are in the PRC. You can use the first message in the FSInn Help forum for quick steps on installing FSInn. This information plus a link to it is in the PRC. Also check out the FAQ link included in the link.: Announcement - Installing FSInn http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=20466 The steps for configuring FSInn is in the link above. You can also look at a movie showing the configuring steps also. A link to this movie is also in the PRC and in the first message in the FSInn Help forum: A quick VATSIM connection Tutorial http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=1881 Look at the PRC, you'll be surprised at how much information it has. It's also organized in a very friend manner. If you speak the questions you just posted while looking at the topics in the PRC, it'll have a link that almost have the same wording of your question, such as First Flight. Click on that in the PRC after you've installed and configured FSInn. Please tell any nessecery info On the front page of www.vatsim.net , you'll see a red letters link that says "New Pilots Start Here". It will take you to the PRC that has all this information. Review it and try to use references from it for your questions. It'll give you a great learning curb and make it easier for us to help. We'll all glad to help with any of your questions. Welcome to VATSIM! www.vatsim.net/prc/ is the best place to start. If you need help with FSInn and getting it setup, go here: http://www.mcdu.com/en/download.php and scroll down to "Docomeentation" Actually that's not the best place to go if the user is having problem with FSInn and VATSIM. He'd more likely get the best [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance right here (in the VATSIM FSInn Help Forum). The mcdu.com site is mainly for programmers, developers and experienced users. The mindset on the www.mcdu.com site is for the users to read the manuals and docomeentation and help themselves. Of course, I personally bend the rules and offer help that's generally not available. VATSIM is open to all, including those that are not the most technically inclined. The users here are very anxious to help beginners needing help. That's actually what the FSInn Help forum is about. -- L. James -- L. D.

ANY SUGGESTIONS? Hi, Jonathan. First I would like to ask that you not yell at us. The all caps is hard to read. We're glad to help. Most likely you're getting the red status because you've input the wrong userID and or P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word for VATSIM. Please look at the third step (Step #3) of the 4 step install and setup of FSInn in the first message in the FSInn Help forum for how and where to put your VATSIM information. Make sure you have entered the correct information. You can also look at the same screen where you put your ID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word and see a description of the problem at the bottom of that screen if the connection fails. -- L. James -- L.

Jonathan, it would help if you would give information. My message was showing you were to look. I guess I should have put question marks after most of my statements. Most likely you're getting the red status because you've input the wrong userID and or P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word for VATSIM. Please look at the third step (Step #3) of the 4 step install and setup of FSInn in the first message in the FSInn Help forum for how and where to put your VATSIM information. Make sure you have entered the correct information. 1) Did you insure that you have put in the right UserID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word? You can also look at the same screen where you put your ID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word and see a description of the problem at the bottom of that screen if the connection fails. 2) What does it say at the bottom of the screen where you put your UserID and P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word? Please answer those two items. -- L. James -- L. D.

Larry James 901346 Posted February 12, 2008 at 05:49 PM Posted February 12, 2008 at 05:49 PM user id= 1047738, same as the one used for getting on herep[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word= im [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming its the same... wont tell it to you... not supposed to its a 6 digit number I didn't ask you what they were. I asked you to verify that you typed it in correctly because that's the most common problem. Connection failed user prob:CallSign is invalid hopefully ive answered the Questions... and hopefully you can help me! Check the linked FSInn/VATSIM FAQ for how to change (Put in a Callsign). This is also addressed in the first message and the movie tutorial "A quick VATSIM Connection Tutorial" (the second message in the FSInn Help Forum). Look at the first message of the FSInn Help forum, Installing FSInn Step #3 (as I mentioned in my first reply to you). It shows you where to put your callsign. The linked FAQ gives quick tips of how to change the callsign. EDIT: As after thought... you might have entered a callsign that's simply not accepted. Consider using 3 letters and 3 numbers as a trial callsgin. If you give me the callsign you're trying to use, I'll give you a suggestion of how to modify it and still have the same general objective. -- L. James -- L. D.
