Yeah, and if we could magically build more runways everywhere that’d be fantastic, but the reality is not every field is equipped to handle 300-ish arrival operations in a 4.5 hour period. There are active discussions across VATUSA right now with how to better balance the FNO concept with the traffic demands. The last year has been a unique challenge in that respect to say the least.

4th Line Free Form Text & Scratch data overwrite each other
Dhruv Kalra replied to Kyle Sanders's topic in vERAM
All ERAM 4th line data transfers to other ERAM facilities. It doesn’t transfer to any non-ERAM (STARS, Canada’s CAATS, Mexico’s Eurocat) facilities. STARS scratchpad data only displays and transfers to other positions within the same STARS site (including any towers adapted under the same computer). -

4th Line Free Form Text & Scratch data overwrite each other
Dhruv Kalra replied to Kyle Sanders's topic in vERAM
Heading/Speed data overwrites freetext, and vice versa. I’ll check it to be certain when I go back to work on Monday. -
vATIS: Intermittent Voice Broadcast & Outdated METAR Information
Dhruv Kalra replied to Evan Reiter's topic in vATIS
I'm 99% sure this is an AFV server side issue over being a vATIS issue since it affects all clients that can publish voice ATIS. -
Bumped for a future update.

Bumped in reference to our Discord convo today.

You could also just program the PTT within X-Plane itself by binding the XPilot Toggle PTT command to the button in the X-Plane joystick settings.

I deliberately run with XC OFF so that airborne aircraft get the full immersion of AFV’s range degradation. Honestly it doesn’t bother me if you step on someone. I’ll sort it out on the frequency. The biggest thing you can do from a pilot standpoint to mitigate stepping on someone that you can’t hear is if you hear the controller give a clearance that you know requires a readback, don’t jump in and key up as soon as he’s done issuing it. Wait however long you think a readback might take (perhaps even read back the instruction to yourself to mentally time it).

VATSIM Login-iOS Thinks it’s a Credit Card
Dhruv Kalra replied to Kyle Sanders's topic in VATSIM Webmasters
Still happening as of iOS 14.2. Can this please be looked at? -
I’m with Rob. If I’m too busy to provide exacting top-down, I’ll break out “runway XX, taxi via pilot’s discretion, cross all runways”. Of note, the ICAO 4444 equivalent to the FAA Term “at pilot’s discretion” is indeed “when ready”, so depending on where in the world the OP was, this might be why that particular phraseology was used.

New Navigation Equipment Information and Cluttered Data Blocks
Dhruv Kalra replied to Andrew Doubleday's topic in vERAM
VATGOV5 may be able to elaborate, but from what I can tell it's working for flights that originate and terminate within the US. -
New Navigation Equipment Information and Cluttered Data Blocks
Dhruv Kalra replied to Andrew Doubleday's topic in vERAM
ICAO flight plans are required in the US for all IFR aircraft, but ATC automation still uses the old single-character suffixes. ICAO flight plan messages are passed through a filtering system in ERAM that converts the data based on ICAO EQP and SURV data and generates a single-character FAA NAS equipment suffix that is displayed on data blocks, flight strips, and in the EDST system (electronic strips). The full ICAO flight plan is available to us as well, but it requires diving 2-3 levels deep into the EDST. Last I’d looked, the prefile system conversion mentioned by @Matt Bozwood-Da
