Hello from vatsim oceanic controller, we actually asume that everyone entering airspace is ADS-B equipped so no position reports are required. If pilots want to make them we ofc allow, but its not necessary.
Thanks for this! Currently building up the courage to fly a transatlantic flight for CTP, slot pending. (CTP won’t be my first transatlantic, that’ll be silly 😆). This will be revisited as it’s very clear. Thank you.
At about 14:25 can I check what you said? I heard '...above FL550', which seems a bit off. I've probably just misheard or misunderstood your meaning though
Great video however I believe there is are some information that is incorrect when doing Oceanic crossings when on VATSIM. 1 thing I didn't hear you mention is that you should be squawking 2000 after being in Oceanic airspace for 30 mins
Thanks for the tutorial! Haven't flown oceanic in a hot minute, but sure will do in the near future. From what I can remember I once was told not to reach the entrypoint before a certain time. And I remember to have set the time in the MCDU of either the PMDG 747 or 777. Do I remember correctly? and if so - how did I do that? :D
Thanks for this awesome tutorial! I have a question: So I don't have to request an oceanic clearence or give position reports if there's not a controller online at the moment?
Hello , Is that really how it works on VATSIM ? because unfortunately many controllers over Atlantic do not accept CPDLC , only voice or web clearence available . I don't know why, since we already have ACARS system modelled in 777 , or do any of you have any better info about it ? .
Heya, ACARS isn't supported at the moment on VATSIM due to software limitations. We are, however, looking to see if we are able to implement it in our controller clients. For now, nattrak will simulate our ACARS operation in VATSIM.
@Easyjetsimpilot Correction to this, VATSIM doesn't support HF radios, but it does a nifty trick with VHF where you tune into a VHF frequency that is aliased to a HF, and when tuned in range of a controller on that frequency, it tunes into HF on the AFV backend. You won't be able to see the HF frequency yourself, but your pilot client is actually tuned to HF.😊
Hello. i have question about active oceanic tracks.. SimBrief calculated KJFK MERIT HFD PUT ENE CANME DULBA OVIXI YNA LOMSI 55N050W 59N040W 61N030W 62N020W 62N010W ERSER IPTOK EKTAR ADOPI ENGM Site above has no info about track at LOMSI.... and second question.. if track inactive i should wait untill it become active? ofc it is not problem in real life, flight schedules are made according that situation. But in simulator.. if i cant sycronise my free time for play with that shedule table i cant cross ocean?
It's not a problem, this would just be a Random Route - which is fine. All it means is when requesting your oceanic clearance, you have to report EVERY waypoint across the Ocean instead of just saying 'NAT C' for example.

so no need to request entry?

Thanks for another great tutorial!!! I've been meaning to ask for this!
You're very welcome and thank you so much for your kind support.

So on unicom just fly wihout clearnce? Thx verry much for the vid

@@GodfatherCZ1 the use of CPDLC is at the discretion of the controller.

Soo how does the selcal alarm work in the 777, because whrn i flew in ctp I didn't get any alert in the 787.
What are your pc specs?
great videos, cam you link the nattrack website please
@@skylinesimmer done
what do we put in atc facility
Is there a conventional methode of HF communication and SELCAL for message contacts from ATC? Or is there only VHF and CPDLC for clearence in the 777?
Unfortunately, VATSIM cannot replicate HF.

Is it just hoppie code I need - any software that needs downloading ? There is a software on the website to download ? Is that needed ?
No software required.
6:35. a tailstrike and tire press message on the status lol
@@adakushe8161 yes, due to the replay mod and GSX pushback 🤣
@@Easyjetsimpilot once i ignored tailstrike message on display, and got pressurisation problems. so PMDG realized damage of airframe

You made no mention of TMI number which is very important or did I miss it?
