Haydn Fleming 1115539 Posted July 24, 2009 at 10:14 PM Posted July 24, 2009 at 10:14 PM I am having monumental problems with getting the vatsim working on ava. I have downloaded everything Vat, fsinn, Ventrillo, etc. I try to file a flight plan in Vatsim but getting a server error message. Is there a step by step instruction on how to get this system working? I am eager to start but get frustrated when I get the error message. I need some guidance. Please.

Haydn Fleming 1115539 Posted July 25, 2009 at 12:25 PM Author Posted July 25, 2009 at 12:25 PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ISTANCE. i FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A FILE MISSING IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE FSINN. i COULD NOT GET IT TO LOAD PROPERLY SO I SWITCHED TO SQUAWK BOX. THAT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE. I MADE THE FLIGHT PLAN AND SENT IT TO THE VATSIM NETWORK I AM REQUESTING TAXI TO THE ACTIVE BUT NO RESPONSE. I AM TUNING IN ON 122.95 AND THE SQUAWK IS ON STANDBY. HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE FOR SOMEBODY TO ANSWER? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted July 25, 2009 at 01:23 PM Posted July 25, 2009 at 01:23 PM first, please no caps. its considered yelling. as mentioned, you need to read the PRC so you can understand what to do. 122.95 is not an active frequency. you need to make sure there is ATC controlling your airport, ATC will be listed on the right side on the squawkbox window. if there is nobody listed, you tune to 122.80. this is UNICOM, this is not an active ATC frequency, rather a traffic advisory channel where you let others know what you are doing. since its not an active ATC frequency, you dont need to request clearance or anything on it, just announce what you are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry James 901346 Posted July 25, 2009 at 02:41 PM Posted July 25, 2009 at 02:41 PM THANK YOU FOR YOUR [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ISTANCE. i FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A FILE MISSING IN THE INSTALLATION OF THE FSINN. You were having problems because you were trying to install a non-working version. Had you read the installation sticky (presented via the "please read before posting" sticky in the FSInn Help forum) you wouldn't have had any problem. You're most likely using Vista, FSX, or both. Sorry you missed the information. For the help of others the sticky in this forum, "SB3 and FSInn Help" points the users to the proper information. i COULD NOT GET IT TO LOAD PROPERLY SO I SWITCHED TO SQUAWK BOX. THAT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE. I MADE THE FLIGHT PLAN AND SENT IT TO THE VATSIM NETWORK I AM REQUESTING TAXI TO THE ACTIVE BUT NO RESPONSE. I AM TUNING IN ON 122.95 AND THE SQUAWK IS ON STANDBY. HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE FOR SOMEBODY TO ANSWER? If you're at an unmanned facility you might have to wait forever. Look at the PRC. I would suggest that you start out with the "Required reading" section. Then move over to the "First Flight" lesson. Those two sections will take you very far in understanding VATSIM. Grab Servinfo from the Addons section to see which facilities are populated. By the way, easy on the cap's. Your message is hard to read and it appears as if you're yelling at us. -- L. James -- L.

Haydn Fleming 1115539 Posted July 25, 2009 at 05:37 PM Author Posted July 25, 2009 at 05:37 PM Sorry about the caps. Thank you for the [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance. I will print out the information and read it thoroughly. I just feel asthough I am up against it because I was removed from the AA site because of lack of activity and I really do not want it to happen again. Thanks for your patience, I trust it will be a rewarding experience once I get on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
