    Okay so basically, in April this year I started playing VATSIM through FSINN and everything was smooth and I learnt so much and was really enjoying my flying and interacting with other pilots and atc. Right, so I uninstalled some PMDG and Airbus X aircraft and other addon software. Then, whenever I tried to load FSX up it would give me FSINN runtime errors, specifically runtime error 372. I stopped playing about three months ago and left it. About a week ago I opened FSX to try and enjoy a flight but the same errors still occurred. I uninstalled all my addons i.e aircraft, scenery etc. Then uninstalled FSINN and copilot. Tried reinstalling FSINN; still the same errors…

    Hello, I'd like to take my FSX flying to a higher level with more realism on VATSIM...I already fly VATSIM but not as "professional" What should I do to make everything as real as possible?

    Hi there folks I have a question, or more of a cry for help. every time I press the PTT, on my joystick, I end up getting a buzzing sound that lasts for half a second, It is hindering my ability to hear other people on the network. I don't have FSInn or squawkbox installed either. Any Help? Thanks in advance

  5. Someone told me to get vPilot instead of FSinn after having some trouble. But, the problems still persists. Here it goes - Everytime I installed either of these programs (FSinn or vPilot), EZdok suddenly stopped working. It doesn't show in the add ons windows nor does it start up together with FSX. There has to be something with these "client programs" that are messing with EZdok. I mean, who flies without it? But I'm sure there's someway around it. Any thoughts?

    I am wondering whether someone can help me. I am about to download the Vatsim software but before I do this I would like to be able to set up FSX so that Vatsim AtC and FS2 Crew is played through my headset, which includes microphone, and the aircraft sounds come through my 2 separate stand alone speakers. It could be that the answer is fairly simple and if someone could help me that would be great but please explain in simple terms. I apologise if the answer is obvious but I am not that techy! Many thanks in anticipation. Michael

Retry to try again or ignore to skip this file. Now in my start menu FSDT has installed but the actual installation only reached about 80&% before I received the above message. I have tried to uninstall to try again but cannot uninstall. Would appreciate some help please. Many thanks. Michael

    Shalom and greetings all my pals, I updated Firefox from version 28 to 32.03, I needed to re-login all websites. The Vatsim forums' log in system is not working?? I clicked on log in and it took me to the website: https://cert.vatsim.net/sso/auth/login/ which I logged in my pilot ID and password. I am sure pilot ID and password are correct but the log in is not working?? Anybody has better suggestion? Thanks, Aharon

    When issued a PDC clearance where do you go to get it? I am new to VATSIM and in recent flights I file a flight plan, call clearance delivery for my clearance and they say "DIdn't you get your PDC"? Where do I go to get it?

  13. vPilot is working brilliantly with UT-2 model set...however, I'm not sure how to input my own aircraft type (B200 King Air)...just the call sign when I file a flight plan...I went to settings tab and did not see an area where you can input your type aircraft. UT-2 supports my aircraft type. Thanks Rich Perry

    The Canadian Xpress® vPilot Model Set is an add-on plug-in for vPilot which allows all pilots flying on the VATSIM network (that are using the vPilot client) to see any Canadian Xpress® aircraft in its true colors instead of the generic colors. The Canadian Xpress® vPilot Model Set can be downloaded by visiting the vPilot Model Set link via the Downloads menu. http://canadianxpress.ca/

  15. Basically, I'm a major newbie in VATSIM and I rarely use it from the complexity of it but I thought I'd give it ago but the one thing that really confuses is me is when no Air traffic controllers are covering the air space you are in how are you meant to work out when you need to start descending and how are you meant to work out the heading when you're about to go on approach.

    Hello guys! I decided it's finally time for me to return to this online air traffic control system as I believe AI traffic will just hurt your FPS while the ATC programs get tired after a while due to the same procedures, same voices... Hence I decided to give VATSIM a go once again! What I'm asking you guys is what is the best way to get started with learning it? Which documents to read and how long the studies will take... Another question is, in your opinion which is the best client program for VATSIM? I will be flying mainly old Soviet jets equipped with NVU Orthodromic navigation, VOR/NDB recievers and INS systems. Should be a few steps ahead of some …

  17. Hi. Just closed out of the tab I was starting a topic in. Got to retype everything :mad:. Alright, lets start off saying that people say "Read the stickies for more info." I don't know how to access a stickie, so.... Alright. I'm just going to cut to the chase because my other post was really detailed, but I accidentally closed the tab, so here it goes. FSInn is really awesome, but since day one, I have been having CTD's at least once to twice each time of use. I tried starting it externally, but that, though seemed stable, eventually failed. So, I went back to the internal FSCopilot Control Panel via FSX Add-ons tab. I don't understand! Everybody says FSInn wa…

    Hello all, I've had a problem ever since I've started flying with Vatsim, and therefore with a headset. The communications do come through the headset as I want them to, and the other sounds (cockpit, environment) through my speakers... except for the engine sounds, which come through the headset along with the voice. It's quite disturbing, since FSX doesn't offer to separate the engine sounds from the environment and cockpit ones, only from the voice. Anyone knows a solution? (I have FSX with Acceleration, fly the Aerosoft Airbus A320, and use Vatsim through FSInn.)

  22. I downloaded EFASS the other day and noticed in the map view that there are a number of other sim users in the skies at the same time as me (obviously). Got me thinking about AI-traffic and whether it was possible to obtain real-time traffic. So that brought me to VATSIM, I'm not a user and probably won't be due to time constraints, but I wondered (presumed) whether it was possible to use VATSIM to only load in the real-time air traffic from other users? Failing that, does anyone know of any addons that do this. I am aware of traffic addons, but I don't believe many (if any) use real-time data from the internet. Thanks Tom

    Hi I've been looking at VATSIM recently, thinking about signing up.Before I do so, I just wanted to get an idea of how it works; does it run in FSX multiplayer or free flight? More specifically, how does it deal with AI Traffic and traffic addons.Would VATSIM control planes from an addon such as Ultimate Traffic 2? Or does it run separately but along side it. I'm fairly new to the online ATC and am pretty clueless. Thanks in advancePatrick
