Questions

Does Cobalt connect to the network for me?

No. You fly with your usual pilot client. Cobalt reads the public network data and, for messaging, passes through your own vPilot or xPilot session.

Does it work with IVAO?

Yes for traffic, controllers, boards, and times. Two-way messaging is VATSIM through vPilot and xPilot.

How do network hours get verified?

Add your CID in Cobalt. Flights flown under that CID are matched to the network and show as verified hours in Atlas.

Can I follow a flight I am not flying?

Yes. Tap any network flight and add it as a friend's flight. It gets a Live Activity and alerts like your own.
