Hello,

 

 

The first list are just download mirrors, choose the closest to you, as this will be fastest.

 

 

In 3D mode, type .vis ICAO to center on an airport, example .vis EGKK for London Gatwick, or .vis EGLL for heathrow.

 

 

If your intressted in controlling in the UK, I would suggest joining http://www.vatsim-uk.organd a good read through the http://www.vatsim.net/prc might help aswell!

 

 

Good luck!

Download mirrors mean there are duplicate files

 

ie the First file contains the letters "ABCD" and it is located on a computer in New York

the second file contains the letters "ABCD" and is located on a computer in Brussels

the Third file is an exact replica of the other two with no changes at all, but is located on a computer in Sydney

 

and so on. The files are all EXACTLY THE SAME, but they are located on a computer in a specific location. Usually it is quickest to download a file from a computer closer to your physical location.

 

The same goes for the Vatsim Servers. All of the servers contain the exact same information (where traffic is, what controllers are logged on) but spread throughout the world so you can pick the one closest to you so it can run quicker, instead of the information coming through thousands of miles of cables.

.vis1 EGSS - now viewing from Standstead. If you are doing the multiplayer-FS trick, you should now move your "Aircraft" (or tower view) to EGSS.

 

.vis1 EBBR - now viewing from Brussels. Same deal, FS move the aircraft to EBBR to view traffic there now.

 

3d mode only needs the .vis action.

thanks for your reply trent,,

right lets see, alls well so far i can get all that right, when i connect in fs9 and slew off the runway, do i right click and go to tower view? when i do that all i can do is zoom in to my a/c and zoom back out! i cant pan round to see the rest of the airport! i know i am missing something oh so simple but with me simple is what you get!
