Are you still afraid to fly on vatsim? Maybe you don’t know how to get started and want help? We’re here to help!
If anyone is an experienced or a new VATSIM pilot I am talking with VATSIM right now about hosting some event flights made specifically for newbie VATSIM pilots who might be afraid to go on the network. If anyone is new and wants to fly in these newbie flights or if anyone is experienced and would like to help the new pilots, I have a video linked below about the program and how to join so I can get you involved. Hopefully I can get some flights planned for you all to learn
We have a team of friendly controllers and experienced vatsim users who are ready to help you become a pro on vatsim and we have exciting flights planned so you can learn.
Nice initiative! One of the downside of Vatsim is that is not always crowded, especially in North America in the evening when im usually flying! So more people, more fun!
The first few flight are really intimidating on Vatsim and this program is really a good way to overcome those!!
Again good job with that initiative and don’t hesitate to join Vatsim… it is really a game changer for immersion!!
Of course you can fly with VR on Vatsim… but keep in mind that if you are flying in IFR you need to be able to read charts, no quite handy if you are not using a plane without integrated charts in the cockpit( WT CJ4, FBW A32NX, C700….) and you might use a pen to take note of what the ATC is saying for the readback when your starting on Vatsim!
Do you have to use the downloaded software once in VR or do you change frequencies in the aircraft as usual?? I use SIM EFB which allows me to have chats and anything else need in VR through the Toolbar menu.
You can change frequency on Vpilot(software for Vatsim) and in the cockpit of your plane, as for me the only time i am using Vpilot and need it to be open is when i am entering my flightplan infos and checking for the upcoming FIR frequencies… and sometime ATC send you private message!
Not really for me because I always leave my sim to continue cruising while I do something else. Not really practical since VATSIM requires me to always stand by and receive and respond to instructions. Since I want to focus on other things, I like to let my AI copilot to handle the ATC, which I don’t think VATSIM allows auto-response without me doing anything.
