Charles Busby 921470 Posted January 30, 2005 at 12:26 PM Posted January 30, 2005 at 12:26 PM (edited) Hi everyone, I am a newbie to the VATSIM world, and am flumaxed as to how I get it all started. Things I have achieved are, Obtaining my VATSIM Account, my PRC account and downloading the all in one software package for use with VATSIM. As yet I have not installed any of the download as I am a bit confused. I would therefore welcome a step by step on what I should install first and test. I truly understand what a geek I am sounding like, however I do so much wish to gain the opportunity to fly on VATSIM, I am a trainee pilot and feel the interaction with the ATC, the chance to navigate and fly cross country can only be good for when I am flying in the real world. Therefore, as Cliff Richard would sing, ...Throw down a line, help a poor boy whose a drowning in a stormy sea!. What do you mean, who is Cliff Richard!!!

George Marinakis Posted January 30, 2005 at 05:24 PM Posted January 30, 2005 at 05:24 PM Read on Charles. Its in the PRC about what you need for FS2004 (FS9) and how you need to go about getting on line. Trust me....its all in there. Hint: It's in Section 103. George S.
