Hello, I am struggling on VRC. I am certified in DEL/GND but for some reason whenever i try to connect on VRC it tells me I can't do anything because I am not an active controller. I need some help with this. I am certified DEL/GND at KLGA with NY ARTCC.

check your rating and facility level on your login screen, what do you have it set as?

 

if you just got your rating, it may take about 24 hours or so to go through the system completely

As Ernesto says, I forget to change my rating from Observer to Controller all the time....and I have the same problem, so make sure you have selected Student1 from the drop down menu and Delivery/Ground in the Facility menu.

 

I'll see you around LGA then!

Try posting in the VRC forum, you can find it on the VATSIM forums but further down. Take a screen shot of the error message and/or copy verbatim and post there. You'll get your answers quicker with less speculation. VATSIM has you listed as a Student so you should be able to login, but without seeing the exact error message it will be nothing but guesses.

Sounds like you were using an observer callsign. When you actually sign on to control, you would use a callsign appropriate to the position you are running.

And 7 minutes after Ross' reply, Ethan was logged on with a valid controlling callsign. Good show, Ross!
