Flightgear on Vatsim
Flightgear on Vatsim
If memory serves, Josh told me that he had heard of a way to connect Flight Gear to Vatsim, but it is very complicated. If anyone wants to help with the search to connect the two it would be greatly appreciated.

Forget it if you're on mac.
On Windows its easy.

And is it possible on linux? (kubuntu)
Re: Flightgear on Vatsim
You appear on VATSIM as a 747, no matter what plane you fly. Some people don't care, but that's a deal breaker for me.

Re: Flightgear on Vatsim
@SHM, that is true. its impossible on mac. I Believe it is possible on linux, but i don't know for sure. There is a wiki page about it, just search "SquakGear." There should be a "help" section, but that's as far as I can go for now.
Re: Flightgear on Vatsim
@OPFOR77 that's not true. I have been on vatsim and I see everyone as either an A320 or a Cessna. It depends on whether or not you file your type correctly.
Re: Flightgear on Vatsim
The FlightGear to VATSIM client reports your plane as a 747 to the VATSIM server, no matter what. It's inherent in the design of the client. FG uses something call SquawkBox747 as its official client, and by design, SquawkBox747 reports you as a 747. You can file as whatever you want, but you're still sending to VATSIM internally that you're a 747.

Re: Flightgear on Vatsim
Also, you will piss of ATC.
FG has no SID/STAR.
Very old and missing waypoint data AIRAC.
Most planes unrealistic.
I don't see the point.
