Introduction

What is XSquawkBox?

XSquawkBox is a plugin for X-Plane that allows you to fly with traffic and ATC provided by the VATSIM network.

What is the VATSIM Network?

From the VATSIM network website:

VATSIM (short for the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) is a completely free online platform which allows virtual pilots, wherever they are in the world, to connect their flight simulators into one shared virtual world. VATSIM also simulates air traffic control in this virtual world, creating the ultimate as-real-as-it-gets experience for you, the virtual aviation enthusiast.

What does this let me do (in broad terms)?

XSquawkBox lets you fly using X-Plane, online, with other human pilots, with human provided ATC services.
