Connecting FSINN to the SimMiles Flight Simulation Network
In order to connect to the SimMiles network you must register with a SimMiles Member Virtual Airline. You must then log into your account through this virtual airline's web site using your Pilot ID and password and dispatch your flight. When you dispatch your flight then you will have a drop down menu where you can select the network that you will be flying. If you want to fly on the SimMiles network you must select it from this drop down menu and then dispatch the flight. Note: If you do not have a flight dispatched you will not be able to connect to the SimMiles network.
Once you have dispatched your flight from your virtual airline's web site you will be able to connect to the SimMiles network. Make sure that on the FSINN settings you have entered the callsign of the flight that you are taking exactly as it shown on the dispatch page or flight tracker page. Then select the Networks sub menu in the same Settings window. Here you will be able to set up FSINN to connect to the SimMiles Flight Simulation Network. For your Network ID and Password you must use your VA Pilot ID and VA Pilot Password. For the Net input area you can call the network anything you want such as the name of your virtual airline. For the network urls you can choose between any of the following servers:
Server #1: simmiles.net
Server #2: simmiles.org
Server #3: simmiles.info
Once you are done setting up the FSINN Settings you can connect to the SimMiles network by closing the settings window and clicking on the network button in your FSINN Control Panel. Once you are connected the Network label will turn solid light green on your FSINN and you will hear a chime if you have sound. You can then minimize this control panel inside your flight simulator by clicking on the "Mini" button so that it saves space on your screen.
