New to VATSIM

[Guest Capt Greg]

Hello, i just got a microhpone and i wanted to try vatsim out. I got required programs like squak box but i have absolutely no idea how to get started. The manuals aren't helping much. I'm running FS2004 so i know that i need SBRelay 1.2, which i have, but don't know how to use. Can anyone guide me throgh this step by step?Thanx

If you look above your post Greg you will see a thread about the pilot resource centre, suggest you try there, all your questions should be answered.

Try changing your sound device in AVC, that may help it.Try more then one Controller as well. Some times this happens if the voice server is loaded up.

Got that fixed. Thanks. One more thing when i tune UNICOM (122.80)it always tries to connect to rw.mushrappa.com/UNICOM instead of rw.avsim.net/UNICOM. I have to minimize every time i change to UNICOM to change it to avsim.net. How do i fix this?Thanks for your help.
