FS2004, Squawkbox and VATSIM?

[Mike_Luchia]

Am I mistaken or is Squawkbox only set up for FS2002 and not yet ready for 2004? I just downloaded Squawkbox from the link on the VATSIM site, and it doesn't like when you point to the 2004 directory

I reformated for 2004 and so I don't have 2002 on my drive anymore. Does anybody know if I am doing something wrong or are things being worked on for online flying through VATSIM in 2004

Doesn't work with fs2004 yet they're making Squawkbox 3 for fs2004

Squawkbox and Vatsim DO work with FS2004. I just followed the instructions at http://www.vatsim.net/gettingstarted_2002.html.

You must have FSUIPC and register it for Squawkbox (download and code at http://www.ivao.org/network/so/). You must also the new version of HostSB.

I think you have to access Squawkbox through HostSB, I don't think the Squawkbox client (SB Host) works with FS2004 yet.

I still haven't figured out how to see other planes in the air, but everything else is working great.
