Join the ZLC ARTCC, on August 7th 2300z-0300z as we pull the plug on one of our runways to create not just a challenge for our controllers but also for pilots as we take on SLC Single Runway Ops.
Starting 2300z (1900EST 1700PST) Salt Lake controllers will begin taking up their positions for the night as they push tin through an airspace riddled with mountains under the shroud of Friday night!

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / How do I start my training?

Hello again,
He's referring to an issue with the ZFW website...
I have e-mailed the webmaster, but I can't tell you when this will be fixed.
You do not have to contact the TA, he won't be able to help you with this issue.
In the meantime, I'll try to do whatever I can to get you started as soon as possible.
- ZFW ATA.

Simple Insanity / The funniest things heard while controlling/flying
« on: October 26, 2013, 09:20:24 PM »
All of the following humorous events happened today on FTW_CTR's frequency.
Another aircraft (A320) was inbound DFW from the NE, the pilot failed to request deviations for weather. He entered a really bad storm cell which caused him to spin out of control and lose about 5000 ft (he was too high on the arrival anyway ).
After he was vectored and cleared for the ILS approach, he declared a go-around over the freq right at minimums. The second approach was successful (or that's how it looked on my radar) until he ran off the runway into the grass by the taxiway.
He then sent this text message:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]UALxxx: really not a fan of airbuses!!!![/quote]
And then he disappeared from my scope .

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]Was flying into KDFW and saw this in the FTW_CTR text.
DALXXXX: Hello
CTR: DALXXXX, hi.[/quote]
I was the controller lol...
I've no idea why but I've seen a lot of pilots just say hi over the freq or PM and I reply back.
These are the kind of pilots though that haven't studied the PRC or anything similar before connecting to VATSIM and they end up taking off or doing something else crazy without saying anything else to me...
It's like if I respond in any way (or in this case just say hello) that automatically grants them permission to do anything they want .

As you may know, ZTL has their own modified VRC and installation wizard which installs VRC, ZTL sector files and custom profiles. I'm pretty sure that when I installed vZTL VRC a custom font was also installed in my machine thus modifying the font of the original VRC installation as well.
I assume that they removed the public download links on the ZTL website for VRC since I can't find them anymore.
I still have the fonts installed in my computer though, you can get them here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1275103...SR%20Wide_1.ttf
Just install them at your own risk though, I've never tried to exclusively install the fonts like that without ZTL's setup.
If you try to install the font anyway, It would be appreciated if you let me know about the results. I have a few guys in ZFW that want their VRC to look as good as mine .
