Hi Peter, I am new too flight sim. I tried to connect to vatsim for the first time the other night and had no luck,l received a message that stated.....One or more programs you are using is not accredited for access to an unregistered copy of FUIPC. Please see the FSUIPC log for details. No idea what they are talking about . I Can you please guide me so that I can do whatever it takes to get this working properly. I have FS 2004 on a Dell xp system I have fsbrealy, fsbhost, servinfo and no luck. Thank you for your time.

I don't fly online myself, and I don't know fsbrealy, fsbhost or servinfo, but I am pretty sure that you need Squawkbox, and that needs to talk to FSUIPC. The program is freeware and has a Freeware Key listed in the Sticky thread by that name. Get the key then run FS, go to FSUIPC options and press the "Register an application" button, bottom right on the first page, then enter the program name and Key where it says.

I'm afraid for all the other magic you need to work to get on-line you'll probably need to ask elsewhere, maybe at the VatSim site itself.

Good luck,

Regards,

Pete
