Andrew Grey 1345811 Posted April 20, 2017 at 06:54 PM Posted April 20, 2017 at 06:54 PM At the risk of getting my head tore off, I must ask: I am not sure, nor can I find the answer for the requirements to remain current on VATSIM so that I do not get terminated. One flight per month? Having said that, I am having problems with vPilot, I can't get the model matching to work properly, and I do not have the time or the patience to figure it out. So, is there any way I can opt out of my VATSIM membership without being permanently terminated? I may have time in the future to get this working properly, but for now I do not. If and when I do have the time, I would like to return to VATSIM. How do I go about doing this, or will I just be suspended/terminated for not fulfilling the flight time requirements? Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsey Wiebe 1101951 Posted April 20, 2017 at 07:04 PM Posted April 20, 2017 at 07:04 PM Hi Andrew, You won't get your head torn off here. There is no requirement for vatsim (unlike most VA's). I had my CID a loooooong time ago, left for years, then just needed a p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reset to get going again. As for vPilot, don't give up! Make sure you are using version 2.* as the model matching is automatic; as well make sure you have models for it to find (WOAI is the most common and easiest).

Andrew Grey 1345811 Posted July 31, 2017 at 04:00 AM Author Posted July 31, 2017 at 04:00 AM Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for your answers. I made a flight tonight. First in a while, but had a CTD on approach. AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 31, 2017 at 07:50 AM Posted July 31, 2017 at 07:50 AM Thank you for asking this Andrew, as I am sure many members are interested to know. Going by the official rules governing VATSIM, allow me to quote the relevant section in the VATSIM Code of Regulations in regards to Maintenance of Membership. I. Maintenance of Membership: [...] a member must log on and use the VATSIM.net network as pilot and/or controller at least once during the previous calendar quarter. [...] For good cause shown, this requirement may be waived at the sole discretion of the VATSIM.net Vice President of Membership. [...] Currently the setup is a little more lenient than the 'must log on and use the VATSIM.net network as pilot and/or controller at least once during the previous calendar quarter' requirement above and the time frame of inactivity until an account is marked as inactive is extended. We understand that VATSIM is a hobby and support an easy access especially for those members with heavy real world commitments. That notwithstanding, the Vice President of Membership has the right to cancel the current 'waiver' if deemed necessary. Should your account have been marked as inactive the reactivation process, as pointed out by Nicholas, is fairly simple and can be completed by the member him- or herself. You need to know your either your VATSIM ID or your last name and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word reminder word for the system to positively identify your VATSIM account, as well as the e-mail address tied to your VATSIM account to process the account reactivation. Should you not remember the requested information or have any other VATSIM account or membership related matter you would like to address, please open a help ticket at https://membership.vatsim.net/. We will be happy to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
