Squawk Box 4 gives super annoying error message that makes FSX freeze, if not canceled in less then a minute also disconnect, and can make FSX crash

Featured Replies

I'm using Squawk Box, I'm in love with the Software and i can't even think about using any other Software, Also i hate FSINN so there aren't two many options.

but unfortunately it is not perfect, every now and then on a random time(you can't know when) this stupid error message pops up:

if it does you have to press ignore immediately or it will disconnect you from the server, pressing anything else will make FSX crash. when sending or replying to a privet message can almost every time pop up and if it does pop up while sending/replying to a privet message even pressing ignore will make FSX crash, if you don't cancel it, it will make fsx freeze until you cancel it meaning you can't even go to the bathroom without fearing that it might come and disconnect you, but even worst, if im typing a message to some one out side of FSX(on mabye Facebook or Skype) and this message pops up while i press space bar(you wouldn't believe how much times it happens, 2 out of 7 times it will happen while i press space bar) it will make FSX crash and im sick of it! i can't finish flights because of it, it makes my fsx crash and freeze and i can't stand it anymore, please somebody tell me if you know a solution to this because i can't stend it any more!

im running a Windows 7 Professional 64BIT,

please please help me  :wacko:

I have had the same problems.  I believe this is a known issue.  The work around unfortunately, is to use FSInn.  FSInn is ok, lots of extras dials to turn, but there's good help on VATSIM Forums.  The VATSIM forums are at http://forums.vatsim.net/

This has been an annoyance for a long time, however, you don't have to run FSInn. The fix I have found is to run squawkbox externally instead of running it via the FSX menu. You don't have to run it on a separate PC, just simply run squawkbox from the start menu instead of inside FSX.

I have seen this before, and I think if you just select "Ignore", it will go away.

Correct a common bug. Run  sb from desktop in xp compatibility. And click off "always open new chat window"

The workaround shortly is going to be to uninstall both SB4 and FSINN. Ross Carlson who is the programming genius for ATC software on Vatsim is finishing up a pilot client for Vatsim called vPilot. It looks to be much better. If course the open source pilot client is still coming in the future.
