Henry Wallace Posted April 5, 2018 at 02:15 PM Posted April 5, 2018 at 02:15 PM Hello! My name is Henry and I am new to VATSIM. I have recently been having issues with V pilot in which I get given the frequencies for radios for airports that I am not at. An example would be when I was ready to taxi at Liverpool (EGGP) and V pilot gave me all of the frequencies for Manchester (EGCC) including things like ATIS which makes it virtually impossible to talk to atc. Kind regards, Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted April 5, 2018 at 02:45 PM Board of Governors Posted April 5, 2018 at 02:45 PM Hello, Henry, and welcome to VATSIM. The controllers (and [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociated frequencies) are displayed based on your distance from the active ATC stations. They attempt to simulate radio range. So it's entirely possible that you could be at one airport and see ATC that is online at a different airport. The key is to look for the identifier for the airport you are at/airspace you are in/near; you may ignore ATC/frequencies for facilities you are not using.

Dace Nicmane Posted April 5, 2018 at 04:39 PM Posted April 5, 2018 at 04:39 PM What do you mean by "impossible to talk to atc"? Do you have ATIS on an active ATC frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
