Tyler,
Vatsim has a ton of documents on how to get started, as I recall. IYP also has
a Live ATC mode, which is specifically designed to make the process
voice-activated. You can ask to “toggle ATC,” and then use the Vatsim
push-to-talk key to communicate with them at appropriate points in the
checklist. It works very well.
Good luck,
Zack.

Hi,
Thanks for the hints. I was able to get Squawkbox working by installing the
four different SimConnect versions found in $(FSX_PATH)\SDK\Core Utilities
Kit\SimConnect SDK. Now it starts up just fine, and I will try flying on
Vatsim the next time I do a flight. How do we work with the IYP checklists in
combination with VATSIM ATC coverage? For instance, when Mike asks, "Request
IFR clearance," would I just figure out the origin airport's clearance
delivery frequency, tune to it by saying "Set COM1 to <frequency>," then
communicate with ATC and say "We have the clearance" when they give it? Sorry
for all the questions...I'm just not used to flying online!

Tyler,
PilotEdge has its own client, which seems to be based on Squawkbox. The
“side by side configuration,” error is because of the weird Steam/simconnect
interaction, if I recall. There are a couple different versions of SC you
can try installing, in the FSX\SDKs folder, I believe.
Sorry I can’t be more help, I’m not in front of my Windows machine at the
moment.
Good luck,
Zack.

Which client do you use, Zack? I just tried downloading and installing
SquawkBox, but it won't run with FSX Steam Edition. It complains about
being unable to find SimConnect, even though it's definitely there. It's
looking for Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect, version 10.0.60905,
according to the SXSTrace output I generated. When I tried to run SB, it
complained that it failed to start because the side-by-side configuration
was incorrect. Using FSX Steam Edition and Windows 10, with UAC turned off.

I don’t fly on Vatsim, but have flown several times on PilotEdge. The
controllers there are very understanding of the IYP taxi procedure. I
place a bit into the remarks of my flight plan that I’m blind, and unable
to taxi, and that’s that.
I’m not trying to sell you on one network over the other, by any means. PE
does have the disadvantage of being a subscription service. But the ATC
coverage is top notch and guaranteed during service hours.
Best,
Zack.

Hi,
You will need to download squawkbox.
I'm currently writing a manual on how to install it and download it.
And also connecting to the vatsim network.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders,

How do you fly on VATSIM, John? I tried downloading VPilot, and found itBlind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
hard to use with JAWS. Ended up uninstalling it, as I couldn't even get
the rule sets downloaded.

Hi my name is John Sanders.Blind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
I just joined this list.
I've been using ItsYourPlane for awhile.
I have a question: I'm part of this virtual airline called
deltavirtual airlines.
www.deltavirtual.org
I'm a hub manager for Minneapolis St. Paul airport.
I do alot of flying on the vatsim network.
Every time I taxie my aircraft to the runway; either by telling
Michell, "taxie to and hold short of runway 22 left", or, "taxie to
runway 22 left", the people whom I'm flying with would say that I'm on
the runway and I'm not holding short of the runway.
Is there a way that ItsYourPlane could have the aircraft not be right
on the runway line?
Could ItsYourPlane have the aircraft be back at the holding point
marker?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders
