I fly with FS9 and windows 7 64 bits. Do I need an acars software to join a virtual airline or is there a way to use the vatsim data to file for the flights? If so, how is it done? If an acars is needed, is there one that works with FS9 as all I see out there seems to be for FSX.

 

With my thanks in advance for any information.

thats completely dependent on the VA you join. it will be spelled out in their policies and operations manuals.

VA's generally provide an acars for you to use.

VATSIM data isn't 100% reliable (and obviously requires you to fly online) so most reputable virtual airlines will require some variety of ACARS (they'll usually specify which one but the most common ones are kACARS, FSACARS and XAcars), although some of the less professional ones just have forms for you to fill or e-mail. Most ACARS software uses FS UIPC so they're FS9 and FSX compatible.
