Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted September 21, 2017 at 08:48 PM Board of Governors Posted September 21, 2017 at 08:48 PM I want to fly realistic because I am training to be a real pilot and I cannot talk to the atc because either they leave when I join or there is none in the U.S.A I am mostly training by talking to atc, but I can't... Speaking of realistic, is that your real name? Next, if you want more, scheduled, ATC coverage from those of us that do this as a hobby, amidst school, work, family, sports, volunteer activities, other hobbies, other things, you'll have to pay for that privilege. Although this is a simulation network, we are all volunteers with lives outside VATSIM. Twenty percent of the USA landm[Mod - Happy Thoughts] is currently controlled with ATC. It's also peak "homework and folks are still at work" time. If you are looking for peak ATC in the USA, look between 7-9pm local time that pertains to where you would like to fly.

Luka Stevens Posted September 22, 2017 at 12:50 PM Posted September 22, 2017 at 12:50 PM Also keep an eye on events (main vatsim page/ events) if you want full atc. LUKA STEVENS Belux vACC Training Director [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hopkinson Posted September 27, 2017 at 04:48 AM Posted September 27, 2017 at 04:48 AM Events in USA airspace can be found at https://forums.vatusa.net/index.php?action=calendar Worldwide major events at https://www.vatsim.net/events Pretty good chance that there will be ATC at the locations and times scheduled in those events.

Jeff Turner Posted March 18, 2018 at 01:47 AM Posted March 18, 2018 at 01:47 AM Also keep an eye on events (main vatsim page/ events) if you want full atc. While events used to be a lot of fun, they for sure can not be compared to being realistic.

Josh Glottmann Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:37 AM Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:37 AM While events used to be a lot of fun, they for sure can not be compared to being realistic. They can, and frequently do have similar traffic levels and staffing levels. Sure the pilots may not be of similar quality, but the controllers are usually pretty on par. Maybe you won't have a satellite sector on, but that's not the make or break factor of an event for me. No need to go hating on events because you don't enjoy them personally.
