Hi Jeffrey,

The VATSIM site has some basic info on pilot training, my recontamination is to seek out an Authorized Training Organization on the VATSIM site and they can get you started on the basics.

Thanks Brian,
 I'll be sure to check out VATSIM's site for those training basics. I will seek out an Authorized Training Organization for VATSIM and join once I'm confident with my ATC courses.

It's called RogerWilco.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE [/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]Just be advised, everyone, that Roger Wilco is not really encouraged on the network. We were using it initially (read: pre-ASRC) and it wreaked havoc on the network. Not only because of people not having it configured correctly, but because anyone could join a voice server, jump on a voice channel, and interfere with ATC operations on channel, and can do it without needing to authenticate against any server. They can jump on with any name they want, make everyone's enjoyment absolutely horrible, and not be accountable for it.

That is why AVC, and the intgrated voice programs in SB3 and FSInn came about. On top of that, while RW is freeware, later versions became shareware, but also had spyware hidden within it. that was the other reason why we went away from it. So if you want to use it, go ahead, but user beware.

I failed the basic test (by one questions I hate that). How long is the wait period before I can retake it?

Thanks in advance.
