Alan Taylor 825557 Posted August 31, 2010 at 05:38 AM Posted August 31, 2010 at 05:38 AM Tom et al., don't know if Brian still comes in here. I'll try and get a hold of him - I know he was trying to get it going again, even heard from "hoser." I'll let you know.

I replied to his post from further up the page just a few posts ago, in this thread. Definitely seems around, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yvan Duong 1043156 Posted March 1, 2012 at 03:31 PM Posted March 1, 2012 at 03:31 PM http://www.virtualaca.net Personally, I don't get along with VA under CAT Free, there's simply nothing for me to accomplish flying online. I find it difficult to see a new pilot fly a transatlantic flight on its first [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment with no clue on how to file an IFR flight plan nor knowing the basics first. Seriously I do hope vacanada will ressurect or some other Air Canada VA stepping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aharon Dayan Posted March 1, 2012 at 06:42 PM Posted March 1, 2012 at 06:42 PM Yvan Duong, If you are looking for a Canadian based virtual airline to fly for, check out Canadian Virtual at www.canadianva.com. CVA better known as Canadian Virtual Airline is now in 16th year of operations!!! Aharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they will, and then we can all join and fly countless hours so we can show our friends how we worked our butts off just to achieve the seat of a 777. Why? Because we are better than everyone else to fly the 777 because we earned it. That may be how it's done in the real world, but this is a simulator. Unfortunately, many Canadian VA's operate this way so I would suggest trying another area to fly in that flies to Canadian destinations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is true that this is only a simulator, but VATSIM is designed to reflect real world as much as possible isn't it? Unfortunately, the word "simulator" has been used countless times as one excuse of the flaws of Virtual vs Reality. I'm simply asking a return of a great, or new, realistic Air Canada VA, and no thank you, I am not looking for a substitute VA that flies to/from Canada.

Oh I agree 100% with you there. To an extent, it is annoying when you see CYYZ-EGLL filed Direct at 5000 feet and such, but also remember that the VA pilot can also fly offline, and we (as well as other airlines) offer all aircraft to pilots so they don't feel that they can only fly one particular aircraft. I wouldn't necessarily call it a flaw, since we can make VATSIM 100% realistic, but I would agree with you when you say it should be realistic within means.

Mark Wolpert Posted March 2, 2012 at 11:37 AM Posted March 2, 2012 at 11:37 AM David V. Nice to hear from you, been a while. I can tell you controlling in Toronto I see a lot of Canadian Express, CVA, Air Canada & Westjet but honestly not sure if the last two are VA members or just random pilots flying those obviously popular Canadian callsigns.

A majority of pilots that fly under ACA/WJA do not fly for any affiliated VA, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wolpert Posted March 4, 2012 at 05:07 PM Posted March 4, 2012 at 05:07 PM You could take a look at flyingtigers.org. They cover both Westjet and Air Canada. Decent ACARS system in place as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
