SquawkBox Won't Connect to ATC Server
Posted: Sat Aug 13, 2011 5:44 pm
MSFS-X installed and running, not "paused". SquawkBox window open. SquawkBox "Connect" window open and all fields populated correctly.
Server: PILOTEDGE:PilotEdge Network: PILOTEDGE Name: PilotEdge Details: PE Public Server Address: pilotedge.net
Simple, VFR, Direct-To Flight Plan (KPVF>KMHR) loaded in both MSFS-X and SquawkBox. Aircraft parked, off runway. Engine off, avionics ON.
When I click the connect button, I get a Status window that says, "An error occured connecting to the Air Traffic Control server
Connection refused [Close]"
In SquawkBox dialog window, in the left-hand window pane, a message in RED, says, "[ERROR] Protocol error: Connection refused
Tried again. This time, I got a different error message that says, "SimConnect Error. You cannot connect without Flight Simulator running.
Confirm Flight Simulator is started."
Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
THANK YOU!
