@5:56 To clarify, FAA Rules for Westerly and Easterly flight path is determined by your Desired Track Course; between 000 and 179 degrees is odd thousands (+500 for VFR), 180 to 359 degrees is even thousands (+500 for VFR). Above FL410, altitude separation changes to 2000 feet. So, F430 for westerly fights and FL450 for easterly flights, etc.

Can't decide if I prefer watching this or towersim 3. If you could look outside the tower that would be a cool possibility.

Btw simaware is no longer operational so use something like vatsim radar which is just like simaware.

How can I start as a VATSIM controller? I have worked as an ATC but dropped to continue my studies abroad and I don’t want to forget what I learned

How can I be a VATSIM controller? I worked and dealt with real traffic previously

13:00 why do the aircrft icons look like they were skribbled in paint?

Why say "with you" when checking in? Isn't that a bit self explanatory? 😀

Hello, I m a real world retired commercial pilot and have operated in the IFR system flying a Pilatus PC 12, single pilot Air Ambulance. In my entire career I have found the most challenging issue for me is taxiing at a large airport such as Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Phoenix. I would like to say thank you for your content, it is a solid 10 out of 10!!!

i dont understand anything but i wish🥲

I did my first vatsim flight today! Was an awesome challenge and I’m hooked! Everyone was so professional and helpful thank you guys for your help in making this such a real and awesome flight sim experience

Why don’t you do text PDC in the UK?

Ohhhh I recognise your voice! 😅

Man ATC is so interesting! Thanks!!

Very helpful, thanks.

Please continue to post😢

Im on the waiting list💀💀

Great video! This is exactly what i was looking for.

what is this application?

This and BeyondATC is amazing. Using BeyondATC more at the moment.

Thanks Adam. I have just started sim flying on X plane 10 LOL. looking forward to up grading and trying Vatsim. Your tutorial is a massive help.

Great tutorial! Much appreciated on information regarding Unicom comms protocols! I would like to know how the new change trial utilizing airport specific CTAF frequencies instead of using the standard 122.800 Unicom? I try to utilize airport specific CTAF frequency but still a little confused at what point do we transition between frequencies? Thanks!

The only thing I disagree is not announcing when departing climbing through altitude to assigned altitude. This is a safety issue if there are other aircraft departing or arriving at the same airport.

Why is it when I am on unicom and never hear any other aircraft talking even when I know there are aircraft within radio distance??? Using airport specific CTAF or unicom never do I hear anyone talking??? I use Vatsim/XPilot! I hear regular ATC communications on dedicated airport frequencies!

This is really good to watch. I’ve been simming for a long time but never found the courage to use vatsim. This helps but still looks very full on 😂

Thank you for this introduction to the Vatsim experience. Very informative. Again, many thanks. I'll have to give it a try!

Hi I have a question following your great tutorial. How do you know what your stand number is?

What is the best headset to buy for this

Great video as always, great job today covering EGPH, BAW33Z here if you remember me :)

Great video thanks for guiding people , any chance anybody could tell me which app is he using for the airport satellite layout and taxiways ?

Thanks Adam, brilliant guide, well done. (VATSIM - Dave EGNH)

This guy is the chillest atc

100 👍👍👍 , Sim aviation gets better and better, stop that tutting 🤣🤣, well done Ad 🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫

I think from memory I took a Vatsim flight a long time ago, things have definately moved along. I feel, with your good tuition, I can now look forwards to going ahead with more flights. Mine would have been from EGGL to ELLX (London Heathrow to Luxembourg) I used to have relatives in nearby Trier, SW Germany. Many thanks for the confidence boost, and I think I will do a couple of observer only flights first then go live. I pased the entry test at least.

People either don't communicate or blasting random Spotify music. Then my stream gets taken down for copyright!

Another quality video from you Adam! Very seasoned VATSIM professional (aka: my idol) 🤣

Thanks. Good advice here. Just double checking on 1 point. CAA Safety Sense 22 AW10 says 'There is nonofficial report 'short final'. But would you still use it on VATSIM ?

I've had some great experiences on Unicom, with pilots correctly sequencing themselves in without any issue. I've also had a full on argument in the chat (sup soon cleared it up)

Remember in the United States to utilize the CTAF frequency, this is obviously a UK based instructional, appreciate your work as always @The VATSIM Controller, just wanted to ensure that some of our US bound friends know we have a slight adjustment of procedures to look out for

Very helpfull for a newbie vatsim flyer as I am, thanks!

Personally I just say in which direction I'm taking off. No one knows the names of the SIDs by heart. Same goes for arrivals. I just say ABC123, xx nm (direction), altitude, intentions.

Very good video I had always aired on the side of slightly too much rather than too little on unicom, but now I know a bit more about just how excessive I was. One thing which I sometimes include is an ETA/ETE for a certain point, such as when joining final just to give some aircraft an idea of how long I will be, although that might be excessive further out, and unnecessary closer in.

Best way I practice before joining on the network if I’m flying out of busy Heathrow, do a few landing and takeoff practices (challenges). Do one preflight practice on MFS (off VATSIM) once happy join the network and fly the same route if all is approved. May take an 1 hour or 2 but when u join u’ll feel prepared and professional.

Great video which I found very useful. I have one question for you. Why do they use a call sign rather than the aircraft registration for identification and can this be anything?

I have a question on simbreif the waypoints doesnt say its heading so how do i know when a controller tells me whats your next waypoint ? And how do i know which waypoint am I ? Please answer

fantastic to watch, I got into VATSIM a while back and am thinking about going at it again, i also had a tough time trying to manually read through clearances to make sure they are correct, I like the tab that just says if its OK or not, i need that for sure

This looks more complicated than flying in msfs lol but something id be interested in doing 😅

Completely terrified to join and actuallly speak Im still learning what to do im essentially on square one right now level zero

Edinburgh looks awfully like a pistol from above

Hi! I’m just getting ready to start flying Vatsim. It’s extremely stressful and confusing but your video answered many of my questions, thank you

You know you can decrease the voice for VATSIM app down to a small box and change the setting so it’s always on top, then you don’t have to constantly go to start menu to get out of your (weirdly) full screened euroscope? You’d still be able to see last call sign transmission.
