Yes, you can, but it’s a lot of work for something that probably won’t be very useful for you. You will have to create the simulator files by yourself and you probably won’t even know if one of you did things correctly or not, as neither of you is a controller yet.
If you decide you still want to go for it: EuroScope comes with a built-in FSD server that can be used for exactly the thing you want to use it for. You can find an explanation at https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/built-in-simulator/ (make sure you also read essentially everything else on simulations in that manual, you’re going to need it to create and run the sim files).
The license key can be found at https://www.euroscope.hu/license/PublicVatsimLicence.txt
TL;DR: Don’t bother, your mentors will train you.
Hi, I try to understand how to get into a session with this FSD server and i cant figure it out. can you explain a bit more on how to do it? thank you
and btw, the mentors have a pretty long waiting list so it will take time. thats why we want to practice by ourselves. plus, we have friends that are controllers so they know whats wrong and right.
in the EuroScope connect dialogue set connection mode to “Start Sweatbox simulator session”, Server to 127.0.0.1 (you can type into that field), uncheck “connect to VATSIM”, select a scenario file under Simulator server, fill out the rest of the connect dialogue as per usual (Rating has to be S3 or above, the server doesn’t care what your actual rating is, just set it to S3)
hi, thank you very much for the help so far.
i did everything good and i just have one last problem.
i need to connect my friend as the controller and i am the instactor.
how do i connect him to the session? thanks
Not really a sweatbox question, but the easiest way is to use something like Hamachi (or a different VPN client) to join a common VPN. Other options (like port forwarding or other NAT tricks) are also possible, I’ll leave this question to the network guys.
The license doesn’t work for me. I’ve changed the file ending to .lic and then chose it in EuroScope FSD but I always get the error code: “Invalid license: SignatureInvalid”, what should I do about it?
Hi, I know its been a while, but i tried back than to connect via hamatchi, and i couldent connect didnt know what to do even with youtube and everything.
Nope, I’m not a network guy. My answer wouldn’t be any better than you just googling how to do it. I’ll leave this one to one of the network experts on here.
@Allene: Without an explanation of what you did and what happened it will be very hard to help you.
