Host/Remote Startup

General Discussion
1

I am attempting to set up a networked system but cannot locate the vpilot Host & Remote apps. VPilot ver: 3.9.0 Windows 10. They are supposed to be in the start-up menu but No Joy.
Thoughts?

Did you uncheck the option to create the start menu shortcuts, when you installed vPilot? I would just try reinstalling and making sure not to uncheck that box.

Thanks…found the apps. Do you know if the PTT key has to be set up on the host machine? If so, can I assume that the remote machine will detect the PTT key as the remote machine will be connected to the Vatsim network?

You can configure a PTT on the host, on the remote, or both. Each machine can have a different PTT device. Both will work, regardless of whether or not you run voice on the host or the remote.

Note that the remote does not connect to the main VATSIM servers. Only the host does. The remote only connects to the host. (The remote will also connect to the voice server if you are running voice on the remote.)

When attempting to connect to the Vatsim network, I am receiving an error message stating Authentication Failed User not found. Does this mean my Vatsim ID is incorrect?

Yes, most likely.

Either ID or password. Make sure you’re using the new password you set on 23 Sep.

Q: When I try to connect to the network I get an Invalid CID/Password message. Any idea why?

A: This is usually caused by copying/pasting the CID and/or Password, which sometimes includes one or more extra space characters (which is often hard to notice in the CID field, and impossible to see in the Password field). Try just simply typing them in without copying/pasting.

Gentlemen: Thank you for your assistance and patience with my “New Guy” troubles. The problem has been resolved and I was able to connect this afternoon. The issue was of my own making…my Vatsim ID was entered incorrectly on the “host” machine.

Thanks again.
