Ryan Guffey 956726 Posted May 27, 2007 at 07:00 PM Posted May 27, 2007 at 07:00 PM Your ID is the same as your CID.. in your case 1007090.. You have to first register with VATUSA. Than they will send you a second p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word. "not to be used on the network" Its only for the VATUSA site. After that Im not sure because VATUSA is switching things around. I know they have gone back to just putting out controllers as S1's to ARTCC's and starting from scratch. I dont think you have to take a "first" exam until you get with the ARTCC is from what I am understanding VATSIM Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Christensen 1011378 Posted May 28, 2007 at 06:13 AM Posted May 28, 2007 at 06:13 AM so do we just log in with our normal id and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word? I tried that and it didnt work. I guess i am just not understanding the whole thing where you have to register with VATUSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Temple 880167 Posted May 28, 2007 at 06:37 AM Posted May 28, 2007 at 06:37 AM Carter, When you join one of the next steps is to select a Region and a Division. In the case of North America / United States, an automated process takes over. Once VATUSA receives the information from VATSIM, a VATUSA p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word is [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned. This p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word is for the VATUSA site only, and your original VATSIM ID and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word remain the same for logging into the network. Granted, once you select the Division the change is not instanteous. It takes time for the sync to occur and the automated emails to be sent. A general rule of thumb is to allow up to 48 hours for the changes to propogate. Matthew Temple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Jason Vodnansky 810003 Posted May 28, 2007 at 05:16 PM Posted May 28, 2007 at 05:16 PM Another example of how to make it easy for the new members. Register here, register there...blah blah blah Matt, thanks for helping him. Jason Vodnansky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That union gerbel in the VATUSA website wheel takes care of the other half. It just takes a few hours to process sometimes. Matthew Temple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Areeda 1010160 Posted June 2, 2007 at 01:15 PM Posted June 2, 2007 at 01:15 PM Just as a data point, it took 11 hours yesterday for my p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word to come through. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Brooks 952251 Posted June 6, 2007 at 05:03 AM Posted June 6, 2007 at 05:03 AM Thanks for the explanation guys... I was having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to get my p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word from VATUSA. I realized I had not selected a Division on VATSIM. Now that I have, I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume I need to wait a few hours (or days... lol) for my p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word to get sent over. Thanks again!

I never received any VATUSA p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word. Granted I have been a pilot, but I have just now felt comfortable breaking into controlling, but there has never been any VATUSA p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word sent to me. Apologies, I know this is an older post, but I'm trying to get signed up and it's one roadblock after another. The Training Acadamy is also closed down. is there any thing new? Do I need to do something different? Scott Turner PAA 101 Director, Pan Am VA Helicopters Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lost your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word go to http://www.vatusa.org/html/user.php?op=lostp[Mod - Happy Thoughts]screen&module=NS-LostP[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word and change it there. Your username is your CID if you don't know.
