Sean Harrison Posted July 13, 2018 at 01:14 AM Posted July 13, 2018 at 01:14 AM Hi Milos. VATSIM is definitely pro learning. I think if we stayed away until we were proficient, then te numbers of people flying would be reduced. I learn every day. You appear to be on the right track with not wanting to interfere with others, but just pick the places you fly. Practice at a less frequented airport, then progress. We want everyone onboard.

Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted July 13, 2018 at 04:35 AM Posted July 13, 2018 at 04:35 AM Milos, I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have flown an aircraft on VATSIM that I shouldn't have until I understood it's "nuances". As Sean said, it's all about the learning process and that is the key. As long as your next flight is better and you learned from your previous you are headed in the right direction. I can tell you this, though all those mistakes and all those "hiccups" I did, I'd like to think, get better and now, after nearly 4,000 hours I can honestly say I have never come across a controller who was not understanding and helpful. I know from other threads here that it is not always the case, but I am proof it is the exception and not the rule. Continue to fly and continue to learn and continue to practice. VATSIM only gets better....welcome to the virtual skies. Randy Randy Tyndall - KBOI ZLA I-11/vACC Portugal P4 “A ship is always safe in the harbor.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted July 15, 2018 at 11:35 PM Posted July 15, 2018 at 11:35 PM I do think it's a good idea to do a test flight or two to make sure you can keep the plane on an [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned heading, altitude, and speed. But then feel free to bring it onto the network & give it a whirl. Worst-case, you get tangled up in it & find yourself being a nuisance or tying up traffic, just disconnect & finish the flight offline -- then research the procedure you needed, boot back up, & take another crack at it. Lather, rinse, repeat until eventually you're proficient enough with it to handle most major curveballs ATC might throw at you. Cheers, -R.
