So...I've been doing a lot of reading in the VATSIM PRC. And a lot of
this has me concerned, because so much of what they talk about refers to
flying with the aid of charts and being able to read them to figure out
how to fly various SIDs/STARs, proper approach procedures, and so forth.
How does a BVI pilot manage to do all of this effectively? Or can IYP
help in this regard?

Hi,
Yes that's correct.
You would turn off the speech recognizition by pressing the control and windows
key together and letting them go after you say to Michell, go to whatever the
clearence delivery frequency is.
Depending on whatever your push to talk key is in squawkbox, that's what you
would use to talk to ATC.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

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.

John and All,
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.

How do you fly on VATSIM, John? I tried downloading VPilot, and found it 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.
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
