Tenkte jeg skulle prøve å fly online igår kveld. Registrte meg, lastet ned softwaren. Men så kom det artigste, sette opp dette her.

Jeg fulgte readmefila (skjønte ikke et kvidder hva jeg drev på med), men jeg tror jeg gjorde alt riktig. Men det fungerte tydeligvis ikke.

Er det noen som kunne ha laget en slags bruksanvisning for oss som aldri har brukt dette før? Hadde vært gøy å fly sammens med andre.

29.) Click Connect

We have taken the liberty of updating the list of servers with both networks.

Vatsim and IVAO. However, your pilot registration number and password are

different between Vatsim and IVAO

30.) Select a server from the list (preferably something close to you)

31.) Make sure your Callsign is correct

32.) Type your Pilot Registration Number

33.) Type your Password

34.) If you understand how to utilize Roger Wilco enter the address of the

server here (if not leave it blank)

35.) Again, if you know how to use Roger Wilco leave the Check in the Box

to the right that reads "User Roger Wilco Voice". (If you do not then

UNCHECK this box for now.)

36.) Click on the OK Button to connect to the network.

Now you should be connected to either of the two networks. If you are not

and have received an error, post your question or problem on the SB for FS2002

forum at www.simclients.com. (Sorrry did not have time to discuss errors here)

37.) Right Click in the SB Main Window

38.) Select ATC Directory

You should see a list of all the ATC that is currently online. Within range

of where you aircraft is parked.

39.) Select the ATC you want to work with

Now it is finally time to get back into Flight Simulator.

40.) Find the window for Flight Simulator on your task bar and Maximize it.

Now you are in Flight Simulator, you may see text scrolling across the top, or

you may see the FS Chat Window Open. If you do not see the chat window ...

41.) Press the ENTER key

This Window is where you will communicate with ATC. You can <ALT-TAB> out to

the SB Main Window but it is not necessary unless there is some other function

you want to do that can't be done by a "DOT" command. Simply type in your text

or "DOT" commands here and they are sent to the SB Main Window automatically.

You will quickly notice that the window does not scroll properly. Everything

that gets entered into the window either from you or ATC resets the chat window

back to the top. There are two tools included with SB for FS2002 take a look at

the FS Chat Window Fix Readme file in the Squawkbox for FS2002 Program Group in

your start menu (START --> PROGRAMS --> SquawkBox for FS2002 --> README File)

Those two programs are very easy to use, you simply start whichever one you

want after starting Flight Simulator and away you go.

FS Chat Window Fix:

Moves the focus of the cursor to the bottom of the Flight Sim Chat window every

time new text or commands are added.

FS Chat Window Fix with Auto Show (PREFERRED METHOD):

Moved the focus of the cursor to the bottom of the Flight Sim Chat window every

time new text or commands are added and it also makes the Chat Window automatically

appear if any text is added to the window at all. (Works functionally the same way

the standard Flight Simulator ATC window works.). We prefer this method because it

makes sure you have received all the commands necessa
