Semir Gebran Posted April 5, 2014 at 06:53 PM Posted April 5, 2014 at 06:53 PM A supervisor was attempting to contact you, you should reply to those messages. You may be disconnected from the network if you do not reply. Take care, Semir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford Lee Posted April 5, 2014 at 07:01 PM Posted April 5, 2014 at 07:01 PM (edited) As it says, under the Code of Conduct section B3, you are required to be aware of when you are in airspace that has active ATC online and contact them when asked. That message is an attempt by Fort Worth Center in this case to get you to contact them. You should tune your aircraft com1 radio to the specified frequency and contact ATC via text or voice. You apparently did not do this, so a Supervisor contacted you. You later did not respond to the Supervisor's request for contact, so you were forcibly disconnected from the network. It is recommended that you review the Pilot Resource Center at http://www.vatsim.net/prc and take the pilot training program offered through one of our Authorized Training Organizations. An overview of the training program can be found at http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/ptd/ and a list of ATOs can be found at http://linksmanager.com/vatsimvas/authorised-training-organisation.html.

Harold Ramsey 1278914 Posted April 5, 2014 at 07:20 PM Author Posted April 5, 2014 at 07:20 PM Well I guess this is not where I belong. I have just retired and want something to do in my spare time and I like to fly so I purchase Microsoft's flight simulator and have enjoy learning a lot about flying, so I will sign off of Vatsim and just go back to FSX and get more experience flying. Thanks to all for your replies. Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's VATPilot, and I was able to get my P1 through VATPAC even though I'm a VATUSA member; they offer out of division training.

Thanks to all for your replies. Harold Harold, There are A LOT of people more than willing to help you with flying on VATSIM, the fact that you came on the forum to ask about a problem that you are experiencing is a step in the right direction. There is also quite a bit of instructional information available in the Pilot Resource Center (PRC) http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/ and on the internet pertaining to VASTIM, I would suggest that you take a few days off from VATSIM, read some of the material (and if you have any questions; Do not hesitate to ask on the forums). Then log back onto the network and give it another try. The time spent learning VATSIM is well worth it! _________________ Chad Vienna - KCRQ ZLA Pilot Cert I-09 "The important thing in aeroplanes is that they shall be speedy." — Baron Manfred Von Richthofen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to all for your replies.Harold Hello Harold, VATSIM is ideal for you now that you are retired. No need to go away just because you stumped on an initial difficulty. Here we have different types of pilots, users. There are specific training organizations that can help you understand how VATSIM (online flight) works. There are a few easy and simple rules that must be observed however, to ensure a pleasant hobby. I am personally making myself available to help you out. It's much easier if we talk on a Teamspeak or Skype session since we'll be able to address your doubts and issues directly. So please contact me via private message here in the forum or send me an email: [email protected] Welcome to VATSIM.
