Hello Trent ,

If there were no pilots flying online at the time you were there , then no aircraft would show up . There are a couple of ways to find out who is online , the first is to check the " Who Is Online " section of VATSIM , which is located on the left hand menu on the VATSIM homepage . The other method is to download and install a program called Servinfo . This will give you all of the information that you seek as regards pilots and ATC that are online .

 

If there is an ATC position manned at or near the airport you are sitting at , its frequency will be displayed in the right hand window in SB3 in green. To connect to this frequency , its a simple matter of dialling in that frequency ( eg 120.50 ) on the radio stack in your aircraft . A succesful connection will be confirmed by a short electronic tone from SB3 .
