I am sending out a request for some traffic at the Colorado Springs Airport (KCOS) later tonight for the purpose of having an S2 OTS. Ben Gustafson will be staffing Springs Tower for an American Virtual Airlines fly-out. I am particularly seeking some arrivals into the airport as well as VFR pattern work and IFR/VFR practice approaches. The fly-out begins at 0100Z. Thanks!

Thanks to all those who flew into and out of KCOS!

The Flight Deck / FSinn defaulting VATSIM to RogerWilco Voice
« on: January 05, 2012, 08:26:17 PM »
Hi there, was hoping someone could help.

I've been having problems with FSinn lately where I could not get any voice to work.  Recently figured out it's because the "Voice" radio button under the FSinn Control Panel was set to 'RW'.  I set it to 'VVL' and it works fine.

The problem is, every time the ATC list refreshes, it seems to keep popping it back to RW, and I have to re-select VVL.

Anyone know why this may be happening and how to get it fixed permanently?  I have RogerWilco disabled (as well as TeamSpeak).

Thanks.
