The Flight Deck / Vpilot windows issue
« on: January 25, 2015, 08:31:57 PM »
Thomas,
I am in windowed mode. I think the issue is that I have to switch back and fourth. What I want is for both windows to run simultaneously. When I type into VPilot, the FSX window minimizes to the task bar. I can pull FSX back up, but when I click on it to get my sound back, Vpilot closes. I don't remember this being an issue on SB.

The Flight Deck / Vpilot windows issue
« on: January 25, 2015, 06:33:35 PM »
Hello all,
I am new, in that the last time I flew with ATC was in 2011 when I was using Squawk Box. Now that I'm back flying with ATC I am trying Vpilot. Everything was fine until I tried to connect and I cant figure out how to have both the Vpilot ATC window and my FSX window running simultaneously. When I open Vpilot FSX minimizes and when I unpause it, Vpilot closes; I did not have this problem with Squawk Box.
Is this a V-pilot issue that SB doesn't have, or am I missing a setting somewhere. It seems pointless to not be able to be able to interact with both windows. Especially when I'm in uncontrolled airspace and need to text intentions during high workload situations.
If there is no fix, I'll go back to SB I guess, but I seem to remember having to configure SB to operate this way too. As an aside, I disabled the pause on task option in FSX settings and still have the same issue.
Sorry this may be a basic question, but I am feeling like a newbi all over again.
Thanks,

The Flight Deck / Newbi question

Welcome aboard Dave
Ideally it should be the closest to your physical location.
But...the one closest to you may also have the most number of users logged in to it so that would not be the best choice. I live on the east coast USA and I connect to the UK servers all the time.
I would suggest using the closest one and if you seem to have any trouble then switch to another server.
Just re-connect.
This happens all the time. You can dis-connect and re-connect at any time.
Sir,
Thank you. If I could ask another question...If I am flying from an area with no controllers active, to a place where they are active, how will I know when to contact the controller. If I am going from Dallas to LA and SOCAL Approach is the only facility manned, when do I contact SOCAL approach? I'm guessing I'd stay on 122.8 until a controller came up and told me to change to SOCAL approach.
Thanks again,
Dave

Hello all,
It's good to be here. I've been siming and flying real world for a long time and finally decided to take the next step with online flying. I have my VATSIM account set up and have logged on using squakbox. I have a couple of questions.
1. What server should I log on to? I ask because I'm stationed in Korea, but fly my flights in the US. Should my server choice be based on my computer location or where I fly?
2. What are my options if I'm dropped from the server mid flight? Can I log back on and pick up where I left off, or am I done for that flight. I ask because in Korea, while my internet is fast, it does drop from time to time.
Thanks, and I look forward to flying with all of you online soon.
