Kelvin Dart 1068744 Posted July 21, 2008 at 09:20 PM Posted July 21, 2008 at 09:20 PM Hey, Joined VATSIM tonight after extensive read-ups on it, and I thought it took flight simulation to the next level (and as I want to be a pilot, thought I'd join it). I just have a newbie question. I'm from the UK (so connected to the UK1 server). Basically this is a screenshot of me at gate 363 at London Heathrow (EGLL): http://img396.imageshack.us/img396/5972/sbvg2.jpg . I file a flightplan to San Francisco (KSFO). If I want to get IFR clearance to fly my flight plan, who do I click to tune into? I thought I wanted Heathrow Ground? But there's no EGLL frequencies up there, let alone for the EGLL Ground. Who do I need to tune into to clear my flightplan with (I have a mic so voice I didn't want to say anything and embarr[Mod - Happy Thoughts] myself across a large network). Also, as you may see I have the Aerosoft Mega Airport add-on for Heathrow. Is this a problem in VATSIM? Are we only to use the default sceneries? Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to VATSIM. Take a look at the PRC. Click on the Required Reading section, then click on First Flight. The controller order is three quarters down the page. Also, as you may see I have the Aerosoft Mega Airport add-on for Heathrow. Is this a problem in VATSIM? Are we only to use the default sceneries? It’s alright to have addon scenery. There’s a chance that some of the other Aircraft might appear to be morphed into a building. However, the most important parts is the runway placement which is usually pretty much on the money with most packages. The important thing is that we don’t startup on a runway (or taxiway) and when got to the runway, you’ll be taking off and landing where everybody else will be. -- L. James -- L. D.
