Ok....I flew my first VATSIM flight last night. That flight took me like an hour of trying to get SB to work. Everytime i try to connect, it gives me a error message and tells me it has to shut down. You know, the error report thingy in XP. I have been trying to do it again all day today, and have yet to get SB to work. Ive restarted my PC like a hundred times. Is this kinda problem the norm or what ? If it is, this VATSIM stuff is great, but not worth the effort to me. Takes the fun outta flying when you get so aggrivated at a program your blood pressure is thru the roof.....lol

Thomas,that sounds like a DirectX issue. Did you try to reinstall DirectX 9.0c and try then?Yours,Martin Georg/EDDFVACC-SAG PR & Events Coordinator *** mailto:[email protected]http://vatsim.pilotmedia.fi/statusindicato...r=SAG01&a=a.jpg

Guten TagIMO online flying in VATSIM/IVAO/FPI is like getting familiar with flying FSim.Sorry, all my poor help;-)G

I've had the same problem. I found in another forum the fix for this problem.If you are using a shortcut to the SB program, make sure that you go to the program folder and send a shortcut to your desktop, then pin this shortcut to your start menu. Sounds like you could have just dragged the program icon itself to the place you are starting it from.Also, make sure that you have everything loaded in the proper sequence.i.e. start SB Relay start FS9 create multiplayer session create a flight click on fly now push the alt button to bring up the FS9 menu click on modules and run SB Host module then go to the desktop or start menu to start Squawkbox.Hope this helpsRick

I had the same problem, just got it fixed. This is how I did it: -start SBRelay -start FS -connect to Multiplayer session -then Create Flight -> Fly now -go to your desktop, then go to C:/Program Files/Squawkbox -open SB Host.EXE -open squawkbox.EXE, choose TCP/IP connection and connect to SBRelay session At least I got the airplane window visible with that method.If that didn
