everytime i connect to squakbox it says connected to private server, is it supposed to say that? After it connects when i see where i am on servinfo it always shows me in Africa, any idea why? Also i never see any other aircraft. Any information on this will help since i'm running out of things to try. Thank You.

Not sure about the private server bit but as to your position in Servinfo are you sure you are not in Africa? :-), Well you don't say where your a/c is positioned :-)A well documented 'bug' with FS9 and SB position reports will occur if your version of Windows uses a comma (,) to denote a decimal point.Go to regional settings in Control panel and change the way numbers are shown so that a decimal point is shown as a full stop/period (.) and not a comma.HTH
