Marc Sykes 852946 Posted March 28, 2005 at 09:38 PM Posted March 28, 2005 at 09:38 PM Well, you're not listed in the VATUSA database, so changing your division and region would be the first step. www.vatsim.net then Member Services -> Account Changes -> Select a Division in a Region. Then go to www.vatusa.org/eval , read the evaluations, then select your ARTCC using the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word mentioned in the evaluations.

Terry Kocher 919807 Posted March 28, 2005 at 09:57 PM Author Posted March 28, 2005 at 09:57 PM I tried to select the Division but when I logged in it said I was already [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to the VATUSA division. .. humm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Clausen Posted March 28, 2005 at 10:43 PM Posted March 28, 2005 at 10:43 PM If it says you've already selected a division, then you can skip to the part right after selecting a division. http://www.vatusa.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=PN_Content&file=index&req=visit&artid=52 Has a checklist for becoming a controller. You should be on step 3 or 4 now. Fred Clausen, vZAB ATM ZAB real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Catherwood 903683 Posted March 28, 2005 at 10:51 PM Posted March 28, 2005 at 10:51 PM Hi Terry, Welcome to ZSE from a fellow controller. And a quick word of advise that given the large amount of traffic showing up in SEA due to the twin client releases, I'd suggest contacting a staff member for a training session prior to diving into SEA KZSE C3/Facilities Administrator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Catherwood 903683 Posted April 1, 2005 at 05:07 AM Posted April 1, 2005 at 05:07 AM Make sure you're using the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word given in the "Welcome to VATUSA" email, under section 6. Also, make sure that you put it in the correct order... took me some 20 mins the first time I tried to lag in to figure out I swapped two of the digits.

Owen Catherwood 903683 Posted April 4, 2005 at 12:18 AM Posted April 4, 2005 at 12:18 AM Terry, Can you log in at the main VATUSA page? If not, try using the lost p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word to see if they've changed the p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word for some reason.

Terry Kocher 919807 Posted April 10, 2005 at 01:00 AM Author Posted April 10, 2005 at 01:00 AM I did the lost p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word procedure and recieved my new p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word, logged into the VATUSA website without issues, but when it came time for me to choose my ARTCC it said I was not in the VATUSA records...
