Who here flys on VATSIM?

I also use VATSIM

DK999K,

I found the best way is to go through it step by step at a nice quiet airfield to start with, with someone else.

If you want i can talk you through it one evening, Its a lot simpler than it looks at first glance. PM me and we can sort out a time if you’d like. Always happy to help pilots get away from the zone !

Could yo ualso give me some info as to were you’ve been flying so far and if you have used the atc system before oin other sites.

Regards Andy

I’m registered on VATSIM and I WOULD fly on vatsim if i knew how to… But i dont, so thats that.

Yeah i know that, Most dont though. Also sometimes pilots call out positions so its worth listening too sometimes for traffic info I just tend to have it on and turned down low till i get into any areas of busy traffic especially since the text started adding and deleting players all the time. Before you get to read the message its dissapeered up the screen.

Voice Unicom is the only problem people have, although what most people don’t realise is that it is ONLY allowed to be used for radio checks. You should only be tuned to it if you want to check your mic.

I also fly on VATSIM and am always pleased with it. A great experience everytime.

I really enjoy it when it gets really busy.

Came across my first problem the other day when as always happens everywhere someone had to spoil it. Some idiot kept playing Guitar over the Unicom and pretending he was VATSIM-UK and teling people to leave the channel so he could reset the server. I just turned it off in the end fed up!

I’m up for a Forum Meet one night. Let me know when

I fly on VATSIM, and its a real experience, with excellent ATC, and great service, with a few exeptions 😉

I’m registered on VATSIM, but a flight online is unlikely for me at the moment because of the automatic 2 hour cut off time imposed by my ISP 🙁
