As realistic as
flight simulation can get with the multitude of addons, equipment
and hardware nothing can quite beat the thrill of flying under
full ATC conditions.
Adventure files go
some way towards creating a realistic atmosphere but they do
have serious limitations.
The only way to
truly recreate genuine cockpit conditions is to fly online using
the VATSIM service.
VATSIM
is dedicated
to providing the flight sim pilot with full ATC control of there
flight right from "engine start up" to
"shutdown" at your destination.
They provide this
service through and network of linked servers worldwide.
All you have to do
us log on find the nearest ATC area to your current position and
make them aware of your intent.
A program called
Squawkbox is required by the pilot. This acts as the interface
between your cockpit and ATC. Instructions will appear in the
message box of Squawbox, some directed towards yourself, others
intended for other aircraft in your vicinity.
Prior to being
able to use the service you must register with VATSIM as a pilot.
This is totally free and is designed to prevent abuses of the
service.
So is taking part
in the most exciting, intense and realistic flight sim experience
appeals to you then here is what you should do;
- Download
Squawkbox
- Register
with VATSIM as a pilot. (This usually takes around 24hrs)

connection & flight sim.

find the current IP address of the server closest to you
geographically.

log on to the system using the IP address.
- Find the closest ATC
station to your flight sim position and make them aware
of your status.
- File your flightplan.
