I just completed this flight using ACARS and VATSIM but at the begining of the flight I forgot to check VATSIM in the box. After the flight i couldn't change it but i submited it as an ACARS flight. Can someone in managment check on that and see that I was on VATSIM as well so that i can get credit for online flying.

Thanks!!!!

Steve, make sure you have Squawkbox3 intergration checked under options in ACARS... that way, whenever you have ACARS and SB3 running, ACARS will AUTOMATICALLY file your Pirep under online VATSIm... it not only does that, but will controll your mode C too...

That box is checked but it still defaults to offline. Should I start Squawkbox before ACARS?

You need to ensure that SB3 is running and connected to VATSIM when you start the flight.

Cheers!

I have tried that but I keep having troble with the plane crashing into nothing on the ramp or taxiway. My whole FS9 shutsdown and I have to basicly reboot everything.
