VATSIM Top 10 Tips for Beginners | How to Successfully Complete your First Flights on the Network!

​@VATSIM has been around for a whopping 20 Years now, and is also an Official Partner of @Microsoft Flight Simulator . Those of you who watch the channel regularly will know I only ever fly on VATSIM and absolutely love the added realism and immersion from dealing with controllers and other traffic flying around you, simulating the real world as closely as possible!

It goes without saying however, that getting started on VATSIM can be a very daunting experience - and I've created a whole playlist of dedicated Beginners Tutorials to help YOU get start on the network.

You can find my VATSIM Tutorial Videos playlist here:

In this video, I'll discuss my Top 10 Tips for surviving your first few flights on the VATSIM Network so you come out of it on the other side feeling like it's not only an achievement but something you also thoroughly enjoyed!

Bonus Tip: Do not be afraid of using the Push-To-Talk and using Voice! Not only is it much much easier for you, but it also reduces both your workload and that of the controller, and really pulls you in to the full immersive VATSIM experience too! It's as real as it gets!

Hope you find the video useful - if you have some tips of your own, do share them with us all in the comments section below, and be sure to click Like & Subscribe too while you're here!

I'm also a VATSIM Ground Controller, and a number of community members behind this channel are also controllers of various levels too. Once a month we try to staff up an airport for a few hours with Full ATC, and whilst streaming it live, we handle both VATSIM New Pilots and Veterans and help as much as we can! Great way to introduce yourself into a busy VATSIM environment once you've done a few quieter flights (see it as a practise for the big events!).
