The Control Room Floor / FAA JO 7110.65 Update: Changes to Appendices A and C

Why would they delete an acft designator? Does that mean the acft lost it's air-worthiness certificate?

You must not have been married long enough to know the rule -- your wife is always right even though she's rarely right..... "Airliner 123, dinner's on the table and my wife is yelling at me. Crash at pilot's discretion, no further ATC available, radar service terminated, frequency change approved, Cya!"Or when in confusion, use the following 2 rules, they always work as they have only one outcome which ever way you apply it!!
Rule #1, your wife's always right
Rule #1, When your wife's wrong, refer to Rule #1
(Shamelessly borrowed from other sources and grossly abused to suit the current situation )

Hi John, Friday's thru Sundays are very well staffed. Use Spy, vattastic.com, or vatview.com, qutescoop, all tools tell you where we are hiding, or available . Since the holidays are coming, you can expect slightly higher staffing levels in the evening times and other times during winter holidays.
I would say, get FSX up and running first, then get familiar with your acft, then the VATSIM stuff...trying to learn all 3 at the same time may be a little bit overwhelming, in the sense that should anything go wrong, you won't be able to tell which one is causing trouble. FSX, in itself, is a beast, a messed up beast.
If the dll you were talking about was UIAutomationCore.dll, then good, if not, look it up, to save yourself the pain of crashing FSX, not the acft, but the software.

Welcome to VATSIM John...VATSIM is global so you can fly in many more languages or just English.
I would recommend SP2 which should be installed only after SP1. That's because once you start getting into it, you might see that any of the additional products you may buy, which by the way is absolutely not required for flying on VATSIM, will need SP2.
Here are a coupla links to help you get started:
Seeing as you are already installing software, you must've visited PRC, nevertheless in case you haven't, http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/
For some IFR/VFR lessons, try http://pilotcerts.laartcc.org.
If you are starting VFR, then you should've absolutely no problems flying in and out of any airports, just remember that FSX came out in 2006 and airport layouts have changed, so you might want to be ready to translate what the controller is telling you into what you actually have. A few rwys will be missing, but most of the lil airports are still intact, save for the rwy numbers as they may have changed in alignment. Charts can be found at aircharts.org, airnav.com (US Only), http://vwings.com/charts or go to http://allanville.com/aviation_charts/ to find the charts for the country you will be flying in.
Feel free to post qns when in doubt...
