Getting Connected Navigation >> First Steps | Simulator Setup | Pilot Client | Configuring vPilot
Next, download a pilot client used to connect your simulator to the network.
BVA recommends the use of vPilot; and instructions for downloading and installing vPilot are provided below.
Please note that all pilot clients are third-party software developed for use on the VATSIM network.
To install vPilot, start by dowloading the program from http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Download.aspx. We recommend installing the Latest Stable Version (top link).
Once the file has downloaded, run the installer. You do not need to specify an installation location.
When the installer has completed, check the "Launch vPilot" option, then click "Finish".
