Hello, after reading all available resources and logging in multiple times with sqwbx, I still can not make a connection with a server that has anyone on it. I have used all available servers, usa-s3, 216, 152, 202, etc. I connect, but when I display who is online nobody is on the list. Is there one particular server that everyone is using. Either I am totally getting the wrong server info, or nobody is flying online. Thank you in advance for any help. Everything about vatsim seams very straight forward except as to how to connect to get going. The new pilot discussions are great but without the updated servers it does not help the newbie.

How are you doing, Bruno. We have one network, many servers. You can connect to any server and you’ll be connected to the network. You might not see anyone because you’re probably at a location (airport facility) where no one is close to your vicinity. If you stay on the network (any of the servers) long enough, someone might eventually fly close to where you are or you might fly close to where someone else is.

 

I would suggest that you get a little more familiar with VATSIM. Look at the PRC ( http://www.vatsim.net/prc ). While all of it is important you might start out with the required reading section. Then progress to the First Flight Lesson. You can get a program called Servinfo from the software addons section to see which facilities are populated.

 

By the way, welcome to VATSIM!
