    Anyone else have the problem of not being able to see other aircraft even when fully connected to the server when operating on a system using Vista??

    I have the same setup on my house pc, which uses XP and I've no problems whatsoever, yet when running FS on my laptop (Vista), I'm fully connected to the server, can comm with ATC, yet I can't see other aircraft?

    Anyone know whats up?

    Check the firewall:

    28) What ports does SquawkBox use for network communication?

    For connecting outside your local network, SquawkBox uses TCP port 6809 and UDP port 3290 for outgoing connections only. SquawkBox does not accept any incoming connections. The DirectPlay system used by Microsoft Flight Simulator for multiplayer functionality uses a number of network ports, but those are only used internally for communication between Flight Simulator and SquawkBox.
