phil symonds 1210804 Posted February 14, 2018 at 01:32 PM Posted February 14, 2018 at 01:32 PM I've never used Vatsim but would like to at least make a start. My question is... Is it possible/allowed to spawn somewhere discrete and out of the way spot at an airfield, to just sit and listen to live Vatsim comms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Glottmann Posted February 14, 2018 at 02:10 PM Posted February 14, 2018 at 02:10 PM Yup, perfectly fine. Just connect on a ramp somewhere, no need to file a flightplan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted February 14, 2018 at 11:29 PM Board of Governors Posted February 14, 2018 at 11:29 PM Not only is it allowed, but it's encouraged! Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil symonds 1210804 Posted February 15, 2018 at 01:24 PM Author Posted February 15, 2018 at 01:24 PM Connected to Vatsim for the very first time last night, on a stand at EGKK, only to look up out the window, to see 747 heading straight towards me about 50ft away! Must've frightened the poor pilot to death lol. Disconnected before impact. If that was anyone here, sorry dude;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted February 17, 2018 at 04:55 AM Posted February 17, 2018 at 04:55 AM As long as you were on a stand and not in the middle of an open taxiway, it wasn't your fault -- it only serves as a reminder to make sure collision detection is turned off.
