Hi,

My copy of X-Plane 8.60 comes in the mail on wednesday. I have never done VAT or other simulations before. Is there anything I need to know that is not in the PRC? Does it matter what aircraft I fly or is it specifically commercial airliners and general aviation aircraft? Battlefield 2 is nowhere near as in depth as this.

Not really an X-Plane specific question.

But I usually give new people two links which gives a kickstart right into it.

 

http://www.laartcc.org/tf/tutorial.pdf and the audioversion of it http://www.laartcc.org/tf/tutorial.mp3

 

Reading the "For pilots" (or similar) sections on different ARTCC homepages will teach you ALOT.

 

Remember, planning is a part of flying. And before flying, *know* your plane. You should know what every button and knob do so it's not a factor when you are in a hurry. All controllers love when you have charts and those can be found in the PRC aswell.
