I loaded up vPilot and all went well until I calibrated my mic. The software said something about squelch, too much background noise, and the "Mic was hot. I verified it with LAX center who also confirmed I had a hot mic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I tried not using the PTT switch. Still the same problem. Low level hum, speech distorted. Notice from vPilot stated mike drowned out, squelch, and "hot mic"

I don't know if you can fly without PPT switch. Set it up to a key that does not stick and see how that works for you. Make sure you start the vpilot with admin because by doing that it solved many issues I had with v pilot. I don't do the calibration because it said the same thing to me, but ATC does not have issue with hearing me or with hot mic

I loaded the 4 files executable: vPILOT- FSINN- Teamspeak3-and SQUAWKBOX all ok.
But I did not know the procedure to operate ( What is the frequency of the server, the ctrl town...etc).

Thank you in advance for the advice. confused

I recommend Vpilot, and use these: https://www.vatsim.net/pilot-resource-centre/vatsim-basics/expectations-and-requirements-pilots and http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Documentation.aspx

You don't need all those programs to use ATC. Just vPilot, FSInn, or Squawkbox depending on your simulator.

I'm also updating the DVA Online Flying Manual. It will explain the use of all the major ATC clients in depth.
