Used VATSIM for the first time last week, in the UK. Did a few flights, impressed with the quality level of the controlling, did flights from my home airport in real life, and the clearances are identical etc. It was quite enjoyable. I think Link will be going over there within the next couple of weeks, as we have sufficient interest from members now I believe. I’ll let you know what happens.
Well, it wasn’t me that was doing anything wrong, It was the software not liking my computer is all. I just don’t care for their ATC it is not gate to gate like eSkyWorld used to be before they closed up shop years ago.
I guess it is just personal preference.
And Nabeel, there are many networks out there to choose from. Obviously the big V is the biggest one around and always has been. Westcoast used to be huge but it has fizzled out over the years. RWATC is a new site. The current owner of it owned esky and shut ti down to open up on a platform that uses squawkwin and squawk radar instead of fshost and fsnav.
Some are better than others. And some are so strict it is just not fun. I like to fly at a place that is layed back and relaxed where you can have fun playing a video game. Some of them act like this is real life, when all we actually have here is nothing more than Mister Rogers and the land of make believe.
But hey, it’s all in fun! So keep the blue side up fellas!
