A simple tool playing sound when your callsign, departure or destination airport is mentioned in VPilot communication messages.

Why Cos I made an airprox with KLM1277 at EGPH, moreover occusing him for not using UNICOM. I overlooked the message in the mess of other chatting. My big apologies.

Installation

VPilot must be installed prior the plugin installation.

1. Go to the Releases page and download the latest ZIP archive.
2. Extract the archive content into the Plugins folder in VPilot instalation. Note that all the files must be placed directly into the Plugins folder, not in any subfolder

Validating instalation

Ensure you are using the default settings.json file.

1. Start Flight simulator and the flight.
2. Start VPilot.
3. Connect to the network.
4. Check if a new tab with a private message confirming the plugin startup is shown.

If not, go to the ...\vpilot\plugins folder and open the _log.txt file for any errors.

Setting up

The connection info and flightplan is automatically read from the VPilot connection and online Vatsim data. However, you can adjust the sounds and monitored events and update intervals. All the settings are available in the file settings.json.

Usage

Once added into the Plugins folder, there is no additional set up. Just start VPilot and connect into the network. However, you can adjust settings - see the previous section.
