Hi all,
I recently passed my ATC basic exam and joined the Houston ARTCC. However, I am unable to continue the process by logging in on the Houston ARTCC site. I waited 24 hours but continue to have the issue when I enter my VATSIM credentials, it takes me back to the front page of the site and I am unable to enter my profile to schedule training. I am stuck in a vicious cycle of trying to login and being brought back to the main page with a login button.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ray,
Very clever and clean work here, thank you for making this available. I am a new VATSIM user as well as virtual VFR student pilot, so the program also has great educational value for me. Thanks very kindly, I am working my little computer pretty hard but I will explore to see if I can bring it active into the software suite. Likely also a read time saver.
I wonder if keyboard commands could be used to navigate and use the program also, as part of the reason that I use text is that I may not have a microphone available and also want and need to save bandwidth on my minimal net connections. Thanks for all that you have done and are working on here.
I’m getting back into it also after a long hiatus. I use to be a member of ZTL. How do you go about rejoining?
Are you a XP11 simmer and suffer with low frame rates?? (unable to maintain 20FPS)
Do you want to fly in the event and not effect spacing of other aircraft!??
Well download this plugin!

Rather than running a groundspeed hack, this one will adjust your rendering on the fly to actually maintain a workable framerate.
Thanks for the great ATC from the folks at ZFW ARTCC on getting the traffic in and out. It was pretty busy at times. The only complaint which I heard on the channel which wasn't directed at me but to another pilot was from DFW ground. According to the charts the 747-8 is restricted to the west side and can NOT taxi over the bridges for the 17's. The pilot tried to explain this and the ground controller popped an attitude and said if he didn't like it, he could disconnect. I've been on Vatsim for almost 20 years now and this was totally uncalled for by the controller. To make matters worse it was live on twitch. And you wonder why some folks avoid Vatsim. If your going to control ground, please know the restrictions. Certain airports have clear taxi routes, DFW, SDF, etc that clearly state 747-8 approved routes. If not then why bother make this as real as possible experience.
Yep, that's exactly what happened to me.
Nothing I've seen besides the initial "we received your interest" stuff.
I didn’t even get an email like this unless somehow I accidentally deleted it. When I go to the AFV website and login now it says they’re received my application though, so I assume it went through 🤷♂️
