Gabe Nappi 1078309 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm running x-plane 9.22rc3 with Xsquawkbox 1.0.2. and i had no problems connecting until now. I've been at KJFK and KDFW and their is always some aircraft there. but now when I connect I don't see any aircraft. It does tell me i'm connected. I relayed a message on unicom (122.80) and got no response. The odd thing is when I normally change freq. it will tell me connected to voice, ect., but I haven't seen any message the only message I see when connecting is the word connecting and I thought there was more info displayed when connecting. At first I thought it was this antivirus free trial from pc tools or malbytes anti mailware but, i uninstall them both and still semm to have problem. I also have Norten running but Xsquawkbox always worked with it. I really don't know what's going on. Is Vatsim having any problems? I did notice when I was at the main page I clicked on the atc online to see if any controllers were at jfk & dfw but when i clicked it said page not found. So can anyone can tell me if the problem i'm having is Vatsim or on my end. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Gabe Nappi 1078309 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 To what server are you connecting? In connection menu it shows as 216.49.160.26 If I remember, I think this is what it has always been when working correctly. I think it is for usa-se. Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Smith 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) USA-SE is unavailable right now. You should maintain a list of several servers. If your machine used to connect just fine, but you're suddenly unable to reach a server...chances are it's an issue with that server ([Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming your net connection is healthy in general). Simply try another server. Edit: Sorry, I should've suggested a specific server. Thx Wade (next reply). Edited February 27, 2009 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites
Wade Williams 877539 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Try usa-w.vatsim.net or usa-s3.vatsim.net. Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Nappi 1078309 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hey Wade If your the same person I'm thinking you are that's answering my questions over at x-plane.org, then sorry for having you answer twice. I'm new to on line flying and I don't know how to go about changing servers. In the connection box all I have listed is usa-se and the server number that I was using. Keith, where do I get a hold of list of these servers. Thank you very much for the help Link to post Share on other sites

Wade Williams 877539 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Gabe, Yep - one and the same. The XSquawkBox client currently only lists "Recent Servers" to which you've currently connected. So if you've only connected to one, only one will be available. That's something I plan to fix in the near future. However, for now, just type "usa-w.vatsim.net" or "usa-s3.vatsim.net" (without the quotes) into the server field of the connection dialog box. That will get you connected and add those servers to your "recent servers" list. The "Servers" link on the vatsim homepage is currently broken. You can get a list of servers from: http://www.vatsim.net/data/who_vatsim.html However, completely ignore any stats you see on that page. It's is no longer being updated and was last updated in December. However, the server names/addresses are still valid. Link to post Share on other sites
Gabe Nappi 1078309 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thanks so much for your help everyone. I'll try it out when I get home from work. Does this explain why when I click on pilots online or atc online or servers online, I get a page not found, error 404 Docomeent not found? Thanks again all, you've been a great help.
