Hi, i know you guys probably get this kind of complaint all the time, but i'm still thoroughly confused. I installed FSInn/FSCopilot, adhering as closely as possible to the forum guides i could find, and i still ran into a problem. When im in FSX, flying, and i launch the control panel, alls well and good, but when i enter my username/p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word/callsign and select a server, mishaps occur. when i click the vatsim network button, it goes from green to red and won't go back to green. when i go back to the network settings page, it says 'connection failed' as opposed to the previous 'connection standby.' Im not sure if this is related, but before and after the transfer from green to red and failed connection, when i click load servers, the drop down menu remains blank. not sure if im missing something simple or just S.O.L. but i miss vatsim, and squawkbox doesnt work flawlessly on my comp.

 

thanks!

Hi, Michael. There are a few mistakes that you’re making. First off you’re in the wrong Forum for help with FSInn. Take a look at the stickies up top. FSInn is mentioned in one of the topics. The moderator is trying to make this clear to the users. You clicked on Pilot Software help. This is a forum for software that doesn’t have a specific forum designated. FSInn does have one.

 

When you get to the FSInn Help forum, start out with the Stickies there. If you follow the steps provided in the Installation sticky in the FSInn Help forum it’s unlikely that you’ll have problems. It provides a quick four step reference that takes the user from the initial download all the way to the first successful VATSIM connection. It also has a troubleshooting section with very important information that all the FSInn users should know.

 

After that you’ll be a single click away from a successful VATSIM connection on your subsequent sessions.

 

Let us know how you make out, using the FSInn Installation stickies as a usage guide. It tells you exactly what to put into the input fields that will resolve this issue and issues that you haven’t gotten to yet, because you haven’t connected with FSInn yet.

sticky:

  • Not a regular post, but a special
thread/message stuck to the top with special meaning… containing important forum information.

 

For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works!
