John Pettit Posted October 22, 2009 at 02:08 PM Posted October 22, 2009 at 02:08 PM As stated elsewhere I shall be in South Africa for the next 4 months. As a member of VATSIM Europe do I have to register with the Africa division in order to 'fly' in their airspace? I shall be using my South African ISP so my connection will come from a different source to my UK ISP. My SA ISP also has its own e-mail address - is there a way I can register both my SA ISP and e-mail with VATSIM but still keep my UK identity? I am hoping to fly a B747-400 from Cape Town to Johannesburg and back sometime in November just like I used to do. Many thanks for any help.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted October 22, 2009 at 02:14 PM Posted October 22, 2009 at 02:14 PM you dont need to register at different divisions to fly in other areas of the globe. all servers are linked together, as a pilot, it doesnt matter what server you use. what you are confusing this with is with the Controller policy of visiting other divisions. this doesnt apply to pilots, only controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycliffe Barrett Posted October 28, 2009 at 12:23 PM Posted October 28, 2009 at 12:23 PM John As far as I understand it doesn't matter where you are in the world regarding connecting to the VATSIM network. I regularly connected to VATSIM as a controller from my daughters house in Madrid, and I would use the UK server, as all VATSIM servers are connected as a wide area network, one is the same as another. The important part is when you connect that you use the CID issued to you and your p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word when you joined VATSIM. It is the CID that identifies you on the network regardless of where you physically are. It has been known for some VATSIM members to logon from the beach of their holiday destination. Hope this helps, and just to be sure, you cannot create two seperate ID's on VATSIM as this would be a breach of the code of conduct.
