That I can bring up S/B and connect directly from within FS without having to jump back to desktop? If so how?Any help will be greatly appreciated.On a side note (and not just a littl OT, lol), does anyone here know where I can get or has themselves the last patches and sectors for the old PC Aviator ATC Simulator? I had them but lost everything when my HD shot craps.Once again, any help will be appreciated.Thanks in advance,Jammer164.

There's a utility that can be downloaded from the Avsim file library called HostSB (http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=hostsb&CatID=Root). This will allow you to run Squawkbox without switching back and forth.Sorry, I don't have an answer for you on the other question.

Hey I'm bat'en .500 on my first post, can't complain about that;)Thank you very much sir, I'll d/l and play around with it now.Jammer164.

O.k. Chris, I d/l'ed and installed. However I'm not quite sure to bring up s/b, connect and run it from within FS. Under the 'modules' header at the top of the screen I have the 'HostSB' header. I select that and it shows 'Run'. Selecting that does nothing (that I can see or am aware of anyway).I followed the 'readme' instructions in the zip and installed the file/files into the 'MODULES' folder of FS. The instructions are a little vauge, is there something eles or did I miss something?Sorry for seeming so dense, it's just because I am.lolThanks,Jammer164.

HiAfter starting HostSB from the Modules menu. Start Squawkbox.exe the normal way. You should now get SB up and running after the initial splash and selection screens.Hope it helps

Just a couple of things to be sure to do. Before running the module, switch FS to the non-full screen mode. After you have SB connected, you can switch FS back to full screen. Also, make sure, if you are starting SB using a shortcut, that you use the one that points directly to squawkbox.exe. There's a different shortcut called "SquawkBox Host for FS2002", and that one will not work for this purpose. That should do it for you.Regards,Chris
