You may also want to consider signing up with a VATSIM Authorized Training Organization (ATO). http://linksmanager....ganisation.htmlThere are currently 10 of them to choose from and they can help you get started flying on the VATSIM network.Kind regards,
Thanks a lot! I´ve just installed FSInn but I seem not to be able to connect to the network. Strange thing, I´ll test that tomorow.

you need to change the server it's trying to connect too. There is a thread on the vatsim forums in the fsinn support forum on how to do this. There is also a program to fix the server list in fsinn

Have they fixed the problems with Squawkbox crashing in FSX?

RogerWilco is an old voice application.You don't need it. FSInn has its own voice module.

I could never get myself familiar with FSINN, I tried on many occasions. As a hardcore SB4 user, I can only recommend it. It works flawlessly on my laptop connecting to FSX and providing online traffic with models from UT2.

I´ve also noticed another thing: When I have FSInn showing up on the screen, it seems that it disables the AA setting.

I heard about the problem with AA and Fsinn. I don't like those online programs running inside of sim. As a matter of fact, I like sim screen completely clean. As it is IRL...

I´ve just tried squakbox 4 but it refuses to work either. It is correctly installed but when I try to launch it ingame via the modules tab, the sim freezes and I have to shut it down via the control panel.

Why do you want to use the ingame module?

Why do you want to use the ingame module?
I had been told so in the user guide. and I´m normally running it on full screen.
