Request for help!

Let me begin by stating that I know this problem I'm having isn't a PMDG-specific problem, but it is stopping me from fully enjoying my PMDG products in FSX as it's a very rare day indeed when I fly anything other than a PMDG aircraft. So, my problem lies with Squawkbox. I have the latest version of it for FSX. The problem is that when I connect, I appear to have a successful connection but I see no other aircraft, cannot communicate with anyone (I try to manually change frequencies in the SB4 box without success) and just generally am all alone despite a check showing 20-odd pilots online at the same airport. I own FSX - Acceleration. Is someone "in the know" able to help me? I really want to fly online with the 777 in FSX but can't. Aarrggghhh!!!

Have you gone through the troubleshooting guide at the Vatsim forums?

Yes, nothing there helps.

You can try and go through all the possible troubleshooters for SB4 but tbh that will not help you. Solving this problem will lead you in another (i.e. - crashing FSX when someone writes a PM, etc. etc.). FSinn is a way to go. It is not bug-free, but it works. You'll need to configure it properly and then it works.

Run the program as an admin, and run it from the Start menu (not from the drop down menu in the sim).

 

Problem solved.
