Vatsim in FG

[KeithHadden]

I installed the hack to display all the aircraft, but I still don't get all the aircraft on the Pilot list in the sim.

Stumbled uppon this thread by accident, but it does interest me: I have been flying on VATSIM with FG for quite some time now (see vatstat link in signature). For a full tutorial on how to install: http://thejabberwocky.net/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1032

This will make sure you see ALL other VATSIM traffic (most planes as A320's, but atleast you can see them). Some will hover above the ground, this is because of scenery differences. To make sure you are not displayed as a B747, first file your callsign only in SB. Then file your fp online (https://cert.vatsim.net/fp/file.php), and then go online in SB. There is also a link to directly prefile from Simbrief, if you make your flightplans on there. You can also import the fp from Simbrief via Skyvector as GPX, and input it into the FG routemanager. When flying on VATSIM I do recommend using a plane that works, and is capable of flying like a real airplane (ie: fully working ap, etc...).

In the future the way we connect to VATSIM and use AVC might not be possible anymore. VATSIM will be changing some network stuff, to for example enable voice over unicom ( 122.8 ). So maybe someone can take a look at this by then.

Why I fly on VATSIM: very realistic, more traffic, better ATC.


Kind regards,
