Jake Smethurst 1127314 Posted September 30, 2009 at 02:41 AM Posted September 30, 2009 at 02:41 AM Hi to all members, Apologies if this has been covered before, or if it is somewhere else, however I have been having trouble with internet explorer lately. I just joined VATSIM/VATPAC, and have observed several ATC sessions so far, and everything is highly interesting to me. I am slightly confused by the ATC training page. Does this basically mean that I will be trained by someone as a TWR controller to help me reach that rating? Will I be taught how to use the VRC program? And if I wanted to be trained, would I need to select the TWR course from the ATC training page? Sorry for the bombardment of questions, I really want to start being ATC. Thank you, Jake.

Shannon Wells Posted September 30, 2009 at 02:43 AM Posted September 30, 2009 at 02:43 AM Hi Jake, Best if you post on the VATPAC Forums direct - under ATC Training http://vatpac.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=71 We use a program called Moodle, and you'll go through a practical test to get your TWR rating.

Jake Smethurst 1127314 Posted September 30, 2009 at 04:25 AM Author Posted September 30, 2009 at 04:25 AM (edited) Sorry Shannon to bother you again, however even though my account is activated, I am unable to start a new thread, it simply redirects me back the log in page, even though I have logged in again. EDIT... it is now working. Sorry for getting off on a jumbled start mate. Edited September 30, 2009 at 04:29 AM by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Stieler 939723 Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:48 AM Posted October 29, 2009 at 09:48 AM Hi, I have been a vatsim member for about 4 years, I have just recently become a vatpac member and I'm having trouble with logging in to the vatpac forums. One minute I keep got the log in page and the next I get a message telling me my user name and p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word was incorrect. I have been trying to get into the forums for some help with VRC client I have, I just need to know how the sector files work, been trying to get it working for 2 days as OBS and its just frustrating me beyond belief . I have worked out some of it, but just the sector files and how to get to view whats on the screen. If any body can help it will be grate Ok I have finally worked out the sector files, I've just got to work out how to get the communications and text working.

Arjun Murthy 1051343 Posted November 4, 2009 at 06:37 AM Posted November 4, 2009 at 06:37 AM Brendan, For the vatpac forums, try another web browser like google chrome and it may work. Answers for VATPAC region are better on there. You click on the comms. Right click on a atc position and click request atis. It'll be something like following rw1.vatpac.org/SY_TWR Channel Name is whatever you want Frequency is what it says, e.g. 120.050 Voice Server: rw1.vatpac.org Voice Channel: SY_TWR The rw1.vatpac.org voice server is having some issues so it may not work.
