John McMurdo Posted September 11, 2021 at 12:02 PM Posted September 11, 2021 at 12:02 PM I can't find any connection details for the VATSIM server anywhere, help! Also before I do connect, a few questions. If I am connecting simply as an observer, do I have to let ground know of my presence. Is there a system in place that will stop me spawning on top of someone elses craft (as has happened in generated craft when playing offline on a few occasions) I am sure I will come of with some more questions before I go online :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Thomson Posted September 11, 2021 at 01:40 PM Posted September 11, 2021 at 01:40 PM As explained in the New Member Orientation Course, your pilot client will log you in to the network. It has all the connection details pre-loaded. When you log in as an observer, you aren't taking an active part in the network, and in fact you won't appear in any maps. ATC will have no need to talk to you at all, but you will appear in their list of members logged in, so ATC will know of your presence but will probably ignore you, AFAIK. Spawning on top of another aircraft at your chosen gate or other appropriate login location is not uncommon. Just log off again and choose another spot!
