Just a thought...  with the Asobo simconnect bug rendering any simconnect apps (including the connection to vPilot) essentially inoperable, you might expect a million questions from pilots that end up with crappy framerates not knowing that MSFS has an unresolved bug....  May want to have an alias ready....

Hoping the bug gets resolved before the event.  But if not.... "Brace for impact!"  :)

So, um, this is awkward, but, um... should we staff for this?

I'm laughing my butt off.  Perfect, perfect post.  Respect!

Hmmm...   Content of OP post doesn't seem to match subject line of OP post....  Josh's answer is spot on with respect to what I believe OP's question was really getting to....

But, I'm a stats guy.... :)  To answer OP's actual stated in the subject question:  How active is VATSIM?

Since VATSIM started, we've had nearly 690,000 members join
Nearly 83,000 are considered active members
We have over 200 new members join every day
On average, nearly 5,000 members log on every day

So, yeah, VATSIM is pretty active :)

Hi Daniel, and welcome back. 

The issue is that you took the exam before you rejoined VATUSA.  Technically, at least according to our web system logic, that means it didn't count.  If I were just joking around, I'd say that it was a good practice run before you took the one that counted. 

I'm a little perplexed about your assertion that you requested a facility assignment.  You were not eligible to, as evidenced by the red x's that you saw.  And your record doesn't show that you requested a facility assignment (which it shouldn't!).

In any case, I waved my magic wand and waived the exam requirement so you don't have to take it again.  Payment for that is a 1L (or larger) bottle of Jack Daniels, or a roll of "nice, soft, not that substandard stuff you find in public venues 'cause they're cheap) toilet paper.  ;)

Now all you need to do is go request the facility assignment.

Again, welcome back!

Hi Pedro,

As I just noted on the VATSIM forums, it would be great if you could reach out to the folks that maintain the official VATSpy repository and get this great idea blessed and incorporated into the official VATSpy update process.

Just wanted to say thanks for a great FNO.  I even didn't mind the 32 minute wait to get into my gate or the 1:22 wait to get out of KLAX (much :) ).  Was a fun time, everyone did a great job.  Thanks for another great Friday night on VATSIM!

Wait until, someday, you can get payware scenery.  It will change your life!  :)
