Hi Guys, I use the FSCaptian Add-On, they have an option to file a PIREP to a VA. You just have to supply url, and other info. Does Delta VA support this?

Also, if you guys use ACARS, do you have to run FSX in Windowed mode? Switching back into FSX in full screen has not been been a pleasant experience to say the least.

Full screen mode caused nothing but crashing & instability for me. Windowed mode is the way to go.

No, sorry.

We have our own ACARS in the fleet library.

ACARs has to be connected with FS already running. but once the flight is started you can switch back to full screen and will not need to go back to windowed mode until the end when you file the pIREP.

If your having issues with FS crashing when switching from full screen to windowed you may want to investigate to see whats causing it.
