The only times I've connected to VATSIM was when I was running the demo of FSNavigator. Without it, I have no way of importing a SquawkBox friendly flight plan. Anyone have any suggestions?
It's really not that tough....the connection takes some getting used to, but once you've got it, it's like riding a bike. And it's well worth every second of the education. Live ATC makes F$ a completely new game!
