Hi all,

I just joined vatsim, after transferring from ivap. I couldn't find any instructions on how to connect to vatsim. (like what programs i need, etc.) I was wondering if you guys could tell me what to do to connect.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

 

welcome to VATSIM!! http://www.vatsim.net/prc is your friend for most VATSIM qns. Since you posted on XPlane user discussion, I am going to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume you are asking about X-Plane. The software client used for that is XSquawkbox which can be found at http://www.xsquawkbox.net.

Welcome to VATSIM Anthony.

 

Charan has pointed you in the correct place for XSquawkBox (which we call XSB).

 

One question you might have is "what server do I put in the server field when I try to connect?"

 

These are the servers you can use:

 

Europe-CW.vatsim.net

Europe-CE.vatsim.net

Europe-C2.vatsim.net

Oceania.vatsim.net

UK-1.vatsim.net

USA-S1.vatsim.net

USA-S3.vatsim.net

USA-W.vatsim.net

 

pick one that sounds like it might be closest to you - but it's not a big deal - they're all interconnected.
