Hey all.. Yet another question.. I know that the crj's alias to the fsx crj panels but when I switch to the virtual I have no guages. I double checked the default crj's in fsx and the virtual cockpit in those is just fine. Any ideas as to why the guages don't show up in the DVA plane..?

The fleet CRJ (Project Opensky) does not have a virtual cockpit. Gotta use 2D. The panel alias is actually to the Project Opensky CRJ 700.

I wonder if I could just use the panel from the default crj-700..? I hate not having my virtual cockpit..

Yeah, I had this problem too and I'm pretty sure there's no way around it. But, if you're in to the CRJ, you should purchase the Wilco CRJ (great product!).

BTW: The fleet CRJ uses the default FSX CRJ-700 panel.

Well I'm not really into the crj all that much I'd much rather fly the 737 but it's the plane I was assigned so I have to fly it for now and there's only two planes in the fleet that will work with fsx.. crj's and emb-120.. There are several other planes they said I could fly but none of them are fsx compatable.. Boy people are sure hanging on to their fs9's are'nt they..? lol. I can't figure out why this stuff is'nt working. I've been over the tutorials and manuals so many times my eyes are crossed and my brain is in a fog. I did see something about having to edit some guages to make ACARS work but when I tryed to read the directions on how to edit the panel.cfg for the aircraft there just is'nt enough info for me to be able to do it.. I've about run out of things to try. I did'nt know it was going to be this much work to try to have some fun.. lol. I only have so much time to make my first flight or I'm gonna get booted..

Virtual Cockpits require that the 3D model of the plane have it built in, and that takes some modeling know-how.
Most freebie planes don't have one. I do not know how the categories are made these days, can you not fly a
CRJ 700 as well? I ask because the one built in to FSX does have a VC and is not too bad really.
You might just want to get used to flying with a 2D panel, think of it as IFR training The alternative is to
buy a good plane that you are able to fly.
Hang in there, it will get better!

The other option is simply to keep using the FSX CRJ-700, and get a Delta livery for it.

Just checked my setup....Carl is right--the alias is pointing to the default FSX CRJ-700 panel.cfg file. That's the file you need to modify. I put some help in your other thread.

Thanks Jack U. For letting me copy those two lines.. I just had to change the MD88 to CRJ and the guage showed up in the CRJ-700 but not in the 200.. lol.. And thank you for the suggestion Jack V.. I'm just going to download a Delta skin for the 700 and use that.. I appreciate it guys.. You've been very helpfull and I probably have been trying to get it all done at once and have to many irons in the fire at once.. lol..

Make sure you are at the gate with the parking brake on. After you loaded fuel (and possibly were nagged to shut the doors), did you click on Start Flight again? You need to do that, and the message log should write two or three lines in green text. Your status bar should have a green light and the box should read "Preflight". When you push back, that box now changes to "Pushback". When you start taxiing, it should read "Taxi" (or something like that). Finally, when you apply full power for takeoff the box will read "Takeoff", and then switch to "Airborne" as you climb.
I see Luke has checked in here....your problems will soon be over....

lol.. I sure hope so.. I got the text lines and that when I connected and then when I clicked on start flight all seemed well and the parking brake was on and yes I did get a nagging message about the door being open.. lol.. Dumb me clicked outside to see what door was open. But when I released the parking brake and started to taxi, (I was just on a GA ramp to see if this was going to work) I taxied about 50 yards and it paused the sim, popped up that window saying it could'nt save my data and so I clicked don't send and it worked for about another 50 yards and it did it again. But I don't think I ever got that guage to work right.. How do I post a screenshot so I can show you guys what I'm seeing. Where the guage is supposed to be is a little clear rectangle in a horizontal possition with a little orange and a green light in it but they never did light up or do anything And I'd have to minimize my sim to get to the ACARS Screen. I'm still all messed up I guess..

I suspect your problem is related to the fact that you're using Build 94 of ACARS. If FSX is still running I'd try restarting ACARS, entering in your flight data, connecting to the server and then starting your flight.
If FSX isn't running, I'd try downloading the Build 95 beta and be my guinea pig. It can't be a worse experience than you have at present.
Cheers!

Ok Luke.. that was'nt cool at all.. lol. I installed Version 2.1 (build 95 beta 4) is that the one..? Everything was looking like it was going to work I entered all my info in the flight plan, loaded fuel, it connected, it started flight just like it's supposed to but I don't think I have that guage edited properly in my CRJ-700 panel.cfg because I have to minimize my sim to see the ACARS screen and is'nt that what that little guage with the orange and green light is supposed to do? Be able to access ACARS without having to minimize your sim..? Anyway it never did give me an error message or anything like that. The problem that I encountered was a totally black windshield, and when I went outside and looked at my ride it was in this extremely bright cloud and the lights on it were comming up in huge black squares.. I could see out of every other angle or side view it was just the windscreen that was completely black.. Wow.. But as far as the program working I think it was going to run. I need some help fixing that stupid guage you have to have.. I have a couple of screenshots of my error messages and how the plane looked outside just now but I don't know how to upload em so you can see em..

The ACARS gauge is really just to provide status information about flight phase and the connection to the ACARS server. It's not guaranteed to work in FSX (there's something not right that I cannot debug) and it doesn't replace the ACARS client. I can also guarantee that the ACARS client cannot affect your FSX graphics.
Your best bet is to start the flight in ACARS, go to FSX, fly it, and when you're at the gate ALT-TAB back into ACARS to end the flight and submit the report.
Cheers!

Well when I installed that version it was really bad.. I wish I could send you some screens of it to show it to you.. Everything's beautyful when I'm just in the sim but as soon as I started ACARS it makes everything go goofy. If I close it again everything straightens out again.. I have been leaving Copilot and FSInn off while I've been trying to get this to work so I know they are'nt interfearing with it at all. If that guage is only a status indicator then how do you write text in ACARS when in flight? Or is that something you can only do while on the ground? Thanks for your help and patience Luke.. I know I'm a major pain in the butt but I really want to get this stuff all working and jiving with eachother so I can start doing some flights.. lol.. I'm really excited about being a pilot here but I'm beginning to wonder if I'm ever gonna get to make a flight.. I had to take a little break from all this stuff for a bit this afternoon and just go fly some touch and gos with everything turned off except real world weather.. Was fun to just play for a bit.. But now I'm back to trying to get this thing going. I though I read somewhere that you had to have that guage to make ACARS work but if you don't need it I may just delete those entries from the panal.cfg lord knows I have enough other problems to keep me busy for a while.. lol..

Dave, first of all, you're not being a pain, everyone has questions and everyone here will be more than happy to answer them for you.
With the minimizing issue, you can use ALT+TAB, but I recommend flying in windowed mode (can't remember the key combination at the moment). It improves graphics and frames for some people, and make switching windows easier.
Here are some shots with it in windowed mode:
http://www.deltava.org//thread.do?id=0x11267
I also was having issues with FSInn and FSCopilot, (FSX wouldn't start), so I use SB4 now (great program, very simple).

I really don't want to have to run in window mode.. I hate having those bars on the top and bottem of the screen cuz I like to take screenshots but I like em to be clean.. You might be right tho. Because I sure can't come up with any other reason why it's not working. I'll give it a try but I still have issues with the chat in FSInn not working and giving me an error message.. Good Grief....

Well guys you'll be happy to hear that I got my first flight under my belt.. KSLC to KPIH at night in IFR. Was smooth as glass, not even one tiny studder or glitch and I ran ACARS the whole flight.. It was simply the fact that I wanted to run in full screen.. I switched to "windowed mode" and expecting the worst, was pleasantly surpurised when I connected, then started flight.. Never a single glitch.. Everything worked perfectly. Now the only problem I have is getting "chat" to work in FSInn.. Thanks for all the help guys.. It's a bitter sweet victory because I hate flying in "windowed mode" but am extremely glad to have gotten to make a flight.. Thanks to all who helped me out with this.. If I can ever return the favor I certainly will. Wow I'm so happy to finally get my first flight in I feel like doing another and it's like 1:30am here..

Dale:
Glad you got squared away. Windowed mode was my last resort too, but I've gotten used to it. If it really annoys you, you should be able to get a theme that will change the top bar to a dark gray or black, and that will fade it into the background a bit (at night, anyway.) As for the bottom, in XP I initially choose to hide the bar, but found myself going to Servinfo and ACARS so often that I now show it full time (ALT-TAB keystrokes in flight scare me).
Now...start logging those legs!!!

I'm glad you got it figured out! I use to full screen mode, but ALT+TAB would freeze the sim. Plus, windowed mode gave me better graphics and FPS, and the ability to easily switch windows. I too, had to get used to the bars, but once you do, it's like they're not even there.
BTW: When you take screenshots in FSX using an external program (snapper, FS Screen etc...) it does show the bars (which are easily cropibal), but when taking pics in FSX with the V key, no bars are shown.
See you in the virtual skies!!

Well I could'nt believe that all the problems I was having was such a simple thing.. It blows my mind that just flying in windowed mode straightens everything out.. I was getting really frustrated because I have a pretty healthy computer and I can fly in the sim with everything pretty well cranked without any fps hits.. So I was gettin pretty discouraged but once in windowed mode I never had so much as a sputter the intire flight.. VERY COOL..!! I guess I will just have to get used to windowed mode.. I'm really glad I at least have a flat panel 19" so it's not so bad.. If I still had my old little square monitor it would really suck.. lol.. Thanks again guys.. Now start thinking about why my chat won't work in FSInn.. lol.. I'll probably not try to use it for a while but will run it as an observer but I still need that working for when I do get the guts to start usingt ATC etc.. Thanks Carl, Luke, Jack, Jack.. lol.. Andrew, and whoever else I left out.. Been great help..

Dale:
Play with ACARS a bit and then move to FSINN. Andrew was (I believe) involved pretty heavily with the testing, so we have as good a source as you can possibly get.
Not sure why you are focusing on the chat in FSINN--it's really not for shooting the breeze, it's for communicating via text with other pilots when there is no ATC available for your phase of the flight. Basically, if you load up the control panel, click on the VATSIM button, and it turns green, you are there (flight simulator has to be running first). Before doing so, however, go into your settings and check the "Observer" box so that you don't show up on the controllers' screens. You can now check to see if you can hear them talk. I had a bit of trouble setting FSINN up so that voice receive and transmit was on my headset, while the engine sounds were confined to my speakers....Also had trouble finding my PTT settings (mapping keys to transmit).
There is a private channel for chatting with DVA pilots....not used heavily it seems, but I have heard folks chatting on it. Most everyone texts away in ACARS, which is not supposed to be a chat box....
Oh, and I noticed you mentioned trouble with Teamspeak--you don't need Teamspeak for FSINN--the voice is built in. Teamspeak is used at DVA for the Academy.

Ok.. Thanks Jack.. I was'nt wanting to chat I thought that the chat was how you communicated with ATC.. So then my voice should be working and I should be able to hear people right..? I was on the ground the other day as an observer and was able to tune to verious chanels and listen in but my mic does'nt work and I have'nt a clue why. You say it might have something to do with using your speakers for general sim sounds and the headset only for mic..? I have alot to learn about using real ATC and all yet anyway but I will be doing it eventually so I have to get it set up right.
So if I'm going to fly using ACARS I can log on to FSInn as long as I'm loged in as an observer? Because I really like using the VATSIM wx.. I may have gotten in trouble today while on a flight to KSEA I was logged into VATSIM using wx but just using SIM ATC for my IFR flight and I got a message in the text line at the top of the screen saying "how are you I'm (so and so) and you're in my airspace" or something like that.. "Please contact me on (radio frequency) but I could'nt do anything so I quitt FSInn.. I hope I'm not introuble.. lol.. I just did'nt know what I was doing. I'll make sure it's set to observer then right..?

Hey Jack.. I made another flight and everything worked great.. Still waiting for it to be approved.. But after the flight I got to wondering about setting up those keys in FSInn to be able to "talk" back to ATC etc.. And I finally got it working. I was trying to map keys without the sim running.. Aperantly you have to have the sim running and be in FSInn to set it up but I set the keys and then called Salt Lake Tower on the frequency shown in the atc window and I got an answer.. Told him I was just testing and was sorry to bother him.. He said no problem so I know it's working now.. I set a button on my yoke so I don't have to reach for the keyboard.. Now the only reason I would need that chat working is to be able to contact other pilots when ATC is'nt available.. I still want to get that straightened out but for now I think I'm good to go.. Now I just have to get up the guts to try an online flight with live ATC.. I have to brush up on my lingo.. lol.. Thanks for all your help Jack now I have to hurry up and try to catch up with you..

Dale:
If you open up the Control Panel (the one where you connect to VATSIM), pick the Chat button to open up the window. You should be able to see chat messages coming in on COMM1, COMM2, and Unicom. If you can talk to the Tower, chat should work fine....you just may have to wait a while until someone sends a msg. Make sure you're tuning an ATC freq on Comm1 or 2 (like you did for tower)....you don't need to do anything for Unicom--FSINN has that set automatically. If you want to check if its working, send a pilot a private message in the chat window by typing .msg [Flight number] and then the message...for example:
.msg DAL6695 Testing-can you hear me? (then hit Send)
I flew in to KSLC on the group flight tonight--that was you calling the tower for a radio check, eh?
BTW, you came in loud and clear!

Yeah.. I was sitting out at municiple number 2 messing with my stuff to get it working.. lol.. How crazy is that that you were there and heard me.. To funny man. So then it probably works. I'm sure I was just doing it wrong because I'd hear the little tone letting me know i had a message and the little chat button flashes but when I try to click on it it would just give me an error message.. So that makes sense to have to be tuned to that frequency.. But it seems to me that I tryed that once to and it did'nt work even tuned in.. Oh well I'll figure it out.. Thanks again for all your help my friend..

That's weird...grab that error message and pass it along to Andrew...it may be an antivirus thing or something. Let him know what you've got running in the background (like AV programs, firewalls, etc.). If FSINN doesn't play nice with your machine, you may have to dump it for Squawkbox.

OUCH..!! Please don't tell me I'll have to got through all that again.. lol. I can tell you exactly what the error message says..
"Failed to create FSCopilotFSInn.chat (CWNDFS98MAIN-59c5834)"
I don't know what that means but that's what pops up everytime I try to push the chat button.. I don't know why it's saying something about FS98.. I only have FSX installed and have never even owned a copy of FS98.
