Abishay,

 

Firstly welcome to VATSIM.

 

To fly on VATSIM you need some software to connect. Choices are Squawkbox 3 or fsinn. Both are great pieces of software and come complete with built in voice software.

 

You can fly online straight away - remember to connect at a gate, not on the runway. The Pilot Resource Centre is a great place to help here.

 

As a Controller you will need ASRC. Other radar clients are in the works but this is the only one available just now. At first you will only be able to observe. Each Region is split into Divisions and they have different methods to be able to control.

 

A more detailed set of steps are available from VATSIM's home page. Simply follow the links in the left menu

NEW PILOTS START HERE

NEW ATC START HERE

Thank for your response and i am welcomed

 

Can you have both Sqwakbox and FSinn together? do both of them come with a voice software or you will need teamspeak for them to use Those are my last questions to ask unless you give an answer that will make me think of a question

 

Thank you for that but this is not my fist time to fly online because i fly using Internet urls and IVAO but this will be my first time to fly with voice and first on Vatsim and also my first time to become an ATC

 

I want make me flying so realistic using Voice and planes with with all manuals like PMDG

 

Hope we have ATC's in the African region because thats where i always fly

You can install them both but can only use one at any one time.

Both have voice software built in although I believe FSInn 1.1 is still undergoing a few issues with either voice or the tuning to a controller. More information may be available at the FSInn forums. Teamspeak isnt used for voice communications on VATSIM.

Hope we have ATC's in the African region because thats where i always fly

South Africa is open a lot these days with Egypt, Dubai, Dofar and other parts of the continent slowly coming to life.
