Try downloading the online flying manual from the suggested downloads page.

[EHM-0001 Gergely]

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

Sorry but i cant provide much help on this :[

Rich
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

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.

Wow, thats a good tute. I think I will use that. All now I need to do is learn how to read SIDs/STARs and a few more thinks.

[EHM-0933 Richard]

Yeah, very good Gergely! I will give it a go as soon as I get my computer working again.  COMPUTERS CAN BE SO ANNOYING!!!! :@

would you mind checking the link.?  I get an message that the page can not be found

[EHM-1388 Tiberiu]

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 .
But mixing them is pretty fun

[EHM-0933 Richard]

Real wprld aviation or virtual?

Cheers
Rich

[EHM-1388 Tiberiu]

Real world aviation for the last 3 years, virtual aviation for the last 5 years.

[EHM-0933 Richard]

Cool, what do you do in the real world? I am currently studying for my JAA PPL in the UK.

Cheers
Rich

[EHM-1358 Tim]

Cool Rich, Im only 13 so I cant get a PPL. But Im going to ask British Airways about work experiance. But when I do that is in quite some time. But that would be really cool.

[EHM-0641 Rico]

I got my  ATP and Turbine transision at Palm Beach helicopter school last december  :>

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]

Looks like we do have a few real world pilots here!

[EHM-1388 Tiberiu]

I only fly gliders (for the last 3 years) and I will begin training on a Romanian built VLA (Very Light Aircraft) this weekend... oh, and I'm currently studying Aircraft Engineering.
Nice to know we have some real pilots around

[EHM-0641 Rico]

I'm enrolling into the Royal Netherlands Airforce next year August. Flying Apaches, and maybe the F-16

That's why I first got my private citizens licences...to make it easier for me when i'm in the airforce  

[EHM-1358 Tim]

But you live in the USA. WOnt they acept you?

[EHM-0641 Rico]

My dad is Dutch.. so I have both nationalities

[EHM-0933 Richard]

Cool Rich, Im only 13 so I cant get a PPL.

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
Rich

[EHM-0962 Zhen Yi]
