bnriefly:

- d/l and install sbrelay, squawkbox, fsuipc, hostsb.dll
* in FS, register squawkbox with fsuipc
* start sbrelay
* in FS, Multiplayer > Join the sbrelay session
- in FS, start HostSB
- start squawkbox (it will appear in FS, in the hostsb window)
- enter your pilot details in squawkbox and connect

* means that it's only for fs2004 (isn't needed for 2002)

Hi again,

I forgot to mention that I have tried to use the online flying manual but it is too broad and best suited to FS2002.  

Thanks for the directions mate but I really need a very detailed version i.e. where each file goes ect and how exactly to register squakbox with fsuipc, I have no idea what that means?

Also, do I need some form of audio input device for online flying or can I use the standard ATC window?

Cheers
Rich ;D

I understand where you are coming from, trying to get online can be a nightmare, I tried the manuals and just eneded up pulling my hair out. This call for help I see so often and the stock reply is always 'Read the manual' or go to IVAO or vatsim site.
Whilst all these sites are helpful, they do not help much if (when) you start having problems or conflicts.

I first got online with help from 2 EHM members on IVAO, more recently I have been flying on Vatsim, but in both cases I have recieved help.

If you wish to fly on IVAO I cant help you much but if you want to try Vatsim, then visit www.hawarden.org.uk (http://www.hawarden.org.uk)

Go to the hawarden airport link. There are some very helpful flash tutorials and if you have teamspeak, then Andy King has a teamspeak pilots helproom and will talk you through the process.

Good Luck

Roll on Squawkbox 3 when everything will hopefully be simpler.

Works fine here...

And Rich, I agree with you... I spent more then 10 years around computers and only 3 around aviation, and belive me, the second one is infinitely more rewarding ;D.
But mixing them is pretty fun ;D

Tim, I'm 16 and studying for my PPL, you are able to study for it now. If you can't afford to get lessons, I suggest you buy some of the Jeremy Pratt PPL books, they are very useful and will teach you all the ground school you will need.

Cheers

Get yourself a Lancair Legacy, it costs 50000$ and it's a really nice plane, e.g. it goes with 250kts at FL140. :D

Ok, you have to glue it together, but still...
