You don't have to do it because you registered before it was introduced.

That is very hard, as additional controllers comming online will change who is responsible for what. Had there, for example, been an EDMM_M_CTR in addition to the _R and _Z_CTRs they would have been responsible for EDDP. You could, in theory, refer to https://nav.vatsim-germany.org/files/edmm/charts/misc/public/EDMM_CTR_Sectors.pdf to figure out who to talk to exactly depending on who is online, but that (in my opinion) is overkill for any pilot. If the controller info/ATIS does not provide the information you need just contact any of the CTR controllers you can get a hold of, they will p

No, just contact one of them and ask them who to talk to rather than take off without talking to anyone. In this case you could have gotten the right controller from the controller info: _Z_CTR's info says "covering only EDJA" - you are at EDDP, not at EDJA and thus need to talk to EDMM_R_CTR. Edit: Neither of the two were covering EDDP, you could only have gotten that info by asking.

In the picture you provided there is a TWR online at EDDP - if you were departing out of EDDP you should talk to the TWR-controller. If you are arriving into EDDP just wait for the contact-me.

Let me guess: you did not install it, but unziped the latest beta - meaning you are missing the Euroscope font. Check %windir%\Fonts for EuroScope.ttf, and if it is missing use the installer before switching to the latest beta. If it is not missing I have no idea what is wrong with it 😄

Just use the PIMON1Q arrival (not depicted on one of the charts you posted), which ends at WW533. If you want to use PIMON1A you'll have to go for the ILS X RWY 33 (not depicted here either) which has MOF as its IAF.

https://www.vatsim.net/pilot-resource-centre/general-lessons/choosing-equipment-code will have all the information you are looking for (here's to hoping we'll get a proper ICAO style flightplan implementation sometime soon 😄)

(To say something on topic: Andreas' recommendations are great. Just stay away from any airport with London in the name for the time being and you should be good :))

We also have this, which only shows primary sectors, but should give you a good idea.

.inf is nice to check whether a pilot is just afk/not listening for their callsign or has decided to tune 122.8 because they thought they'd already left your sector or whatever goes through their head when they just leave your frequency without being told to...

I read the title and was already getting excited about staffing all the EDYY sectors 😄

My guess is you are meant to switch to VCCS, which has its own hardware setup.

My guess: The controller has not enabled cross-coupling on their frequency and the other a/c are too far away or too low for you to hear them. Nothing can be done on your end to "fix" that.

You will need to message [email protected] to get that updated.
