I am all set to go but need some serious help just getting the flight plan ready and actually leaving the airport. I'm running FSX and have a headset but don't know how to call for a flight plan or take a flight plan I'm giving and entering it into Flight Sim. Can anybody meet me somewhere on Vatsim or is there an ATC controller that has time to take me to a small airport and help me get going. I get frustrated and just sign off.

Check out AviationPRO on youtube. He has a decent tutorial series about flying on VATSIM. I watched these when I first started, and once in a while I still go back and review some of them when I think I forgot something.

Hi Justin,

 

Welcome!

 

http://www.vatsim.net/prc has a number of resources to get you started. Also I would recommend looking in to some of the training available - I highly recommend the P1 course as a starting point as this will answer many of the queries you will have as a new member and get you on your way. http://ptd.vatsim.net and http://ptd.vatsim.net/atos for a list of approved training organisations.

 

And, of course, feel free to ask away here in the forums: you'll find everybody here appreciates someone who's interested in learning how to get things right and will be more than happy to help.

 

Best,

 

Simon

Vice President, Pilot Training
