Chanet Rattakunjara Posted December 6, 2021 at 03:52 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 03:52 AM Hello, first time to ask a question here. How do pilots voice chat to other pilots on vatsim? Do I just put in a frequency which no one is using? I am sure someone probably asked the same question before. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reinhard Ziegler Posted December 6, 2021 at 07:29 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 07:29 AM I've never done this before but it should technically work within a limited range around you, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filippo Genoni 1533729 Posted December 6, 2021 at 09:44 AM Posted December 6, 2021 at 09:44 AM (edited) @Chanet Rattakunjara Technically you can do it, but it’s against the VATSIM CoC. https://www.vatsim.net/documents/code-of-conduct Quote A16 - Members shall not carry out private conversations over any communication channels, frequencies, or resources, with the exception of private messages, while connected to the VATSIM Network. The guard VHF radio frequency (121.500) shall not be used. I suggest you to use teamspeak or discord instead Filippo, Edited December 6, 2021 at 09:48 AM by Filippo Genoni 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Thomson Posted December 6, 2021 at 01:37 PM Posted December 6, 2021 at 01:37 PM Additionally, you might think that UNICOM, 122.8, is good for inter-pilot chat, but its use is restricted to merely broadcasting information, like intentions, locations etc. to inform other pilots in the area of what you are doing.

Chanet Rattakunjara Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:04 PM Author Posted December 6, 2021 at 04:04 PM @Filippo Genoni Oh yes you are correct, I read about COC sometime long ago. The reason I asked was I was thinking about flying with couple of my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said, use the .chat function in your pilot client (for text conversation), or external sources like Teamspeak or Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Bartels Posted December 7, 2021 at 02:25 AM Posted December 7, 2021 at 02:25 AM You can use the VATSIM Community Discord as well for such chat, but any radio frequency on the network itself is not for personal communications.

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 5, 2022 at 08:36 PM Posted April 5, 2022 at 08:36 PM That depends on the pilot client that you are using. vpilot: https://vpilot.rosscarlson.dev/Documentation#dot-commands swift: https://docs.swift-project.org/doku.php?id=dot_commands_hide_command_tooltip xpilot: https://beta.xpilot-project.org/#/xplane?id=text-message-console 1 Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
