Hello everybody,

I need some help

Im pritty new user within the VATSIM world. Whatever i try , i never end a complete flight within VATSIM.

Can´t  find controllers or i do some stupid conversation if i have luck when there is a controller. When follow many youtube examples they always have contact with controllers and ended the flights in good order.

What do i wrong, im lost in the VATSIM world.

Hello Andre,

 

For starters, I suggest logging on as an observer so you can get some exposure to ATC and R/T.

When you feel comfortable enough, I'd suggest logging on when there's relatively low traffic, and slowly venture into busier areas as you get more experience. You can check ATC coverage and traffic here: https://map.vatsim.net

Everyone makes mistakes, don't be afraid to try!

Cheers

Pranav

For a high chance of ATC coverage but less busy traffic levels than at published events, look for the events but then fly in *adjacent* sectors.  They'll often be staffed also, but without the madness and mayhem of the featured field.

Cheers,

First thing, welcome to Vatsim.   There is a lot to learn and observing / listening others will help.  It's one thing to have ATC coverage, then there is your own ability to pilot your aircraft and follow ATC instructions.  If you have not  already done so, I recommend spending some time reading thru the Pilot Learning  Centre https://my.vatsim.net/learn .   Lots of info in there that will help you.
