Martin Ashoff Posted April 19, 2020 at 07:07 AM Posted April 19, 2020 at 07:07 AM Before my first flight in VatSim I'd like to understand the following: What happens when I am in midst of a VatSim flight using X-Plane 11and XP11 quits unexpectedly (happens occasionally for unknown reasons)? Is the Vatsim session/flight then terminated and over? What will the controller see? Plane got lost, crashed...??? Will ATC terminate the flight plan?? I don't think I can resume the flight from the point where XP11 quitted?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted April 19, 2020 at 09:03 AM Posted April 19, 2020 at 09:03 AM (edited) Hi Martin, your plane will disappear from our radar screens. If you are somewhere enroute or on the ground at a non-critcal location, re-start your SIM and log on again, no worries. I would advise against doing this when you are on a runway or on or near an instrument approach and you know that there are several other planes around. I guess I do not have to explain to you why. Welcome to VATSIM, enjoy! There's a lot of information here on the forums and on VATSIM's PRC Pilot Resource Center, just Google it.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted April 20, 2020 at 02:16 AM Posted April 20, 2020 at 02:16 AM Martin -- Welcome to VATSIM! The tl;dr version is if your sim quits, don't worry. It happens. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Ashoff Posted April 20, 2020 at 05:01 AM Author Posted April 20, 2020 at 05:01 AM Andreas, vielen Dank. Macht Sinn. (Thanks a lot. Makes sense). Robert, likewise, thanks for your inputs given. It helps. Out of curiosity what does CTD stand for? Cheers, Martin Singapore (home of Changi Airport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
