Posted: Friday, March 25, 2005 - 14:25
SquawkBox, the name that started the online flying craze is back! The highly anticipated SquawkBox version 3 is complete and ready for use on VATSIM.net. Almost two and half years in development, Joel DeYoung and his team have developed this new pilot client from the ground up, making it simpler and more intuitive than ever.

SquawkBox 3 integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Flight Simulator. No additional software is needed to get you up and running on the VATSIM network. Unprecedented stability and usability make SquawkBox accessible to a wider audience of virtual pilots. The user interface is clean and simple but designed to stay out of your way until you need it. The multiplayer system features over 1300 planes, all displayed with completely smooth motion. This greatly enhances the realism of your online flight and makes maneuvers like formation flying possible. Voice functionality is included in SquawkBox 3 and integrates flawlessly with your Flight Simulator radio. SquawkBox 3 features an extensible plug-in architecture allowing for additional aircraft models, weather functions and tight integration between SquawkBox 3's transponder/radio and third party aircraft panels and gauges. To use SquawkBox 3 you will need a VATSIM account, if you do not already have one, please visit VATSIM.NET to register for an account and download SquawkBox. Within minutes you will experience a whole new dimension of online
flight.
