General Discussion / CoC A4(b) and VATUSA & Facility Online Presence
« on: November 27, 2023, 10:53:45 AM »
Question for the VATUSA web-team...

VATSIM CoC A4(b) states the following:

A4(b) Account holders shall connect to VATSIM using only one of the following name conventions:
(1) Their real, registered name (e.g., Joseph Smith, Joseph S.).
(2) An appropriate shortening of their given name, followed by their surname (e.g., Joe Smith, Joe S.).
(3) Their real given name. (e.g., Joseph).
(4) An appropriate shortening of their given name (e.g., Joe).
(5) Their certificate ID number.

The official VATSIM forums allow profiles to follow the CoC's naming conventions but the VATUSA forums do not allow any alternative conventions provided by the CoC A4(b). If there is, I've not been able to locate a way. I do understand that CoC A4(b) was created in response to International Privacy Laws and may not be required for the United States, however, that functionality allows another layer of online obscurity for parents of minors who utilize VATSIM, Content Creators and the general user-base that would like to have the option.

Are there plans to change the VATUSA forums and site to align with CoC A4(b)?
Would these plans also include a trickle down to the VATUSA Facilities for guidance on their respective websites and other communication channels (Discord, Teamspeak, etc)?

General Discussion / Re: Can i fly the cirrus vision sf50 on vatsim?
« on: December 25, 2018, 09:01:51 PM »
So im looking to start my first few flights on vatsim but i wanted to start with a plane that im comfortable with and was hoping to start with the cirrus vision but when i look at the simbrief stuff i dont see it and dont know if i would be able to use it. If i can use it. Also what does it mean by true speed when im going to file a flight plan? Thank you

Hi Nolan. Welcome to Vatsim! I encourage you to use the Vision Jet as it's an easy-to-fly starter aircraft that has avionics that can help you learn to fly IFR routes. It's also slower so you'll have some extra time for decision-making. I use the the Vision jet frequently on the network as it's a fun little aircraft for short legs. Don't worry too much about SimBrief not having support for the SF50 either. SimBrief is an excellent tool for the community but it is not all-encompassing. Generally, for GA use it omits some air-frames but Vatsim will permit most GA aircraft. The only caveats would be ensuring you have the proper equipment type filed for your aircraft and the airspace you want to fly in.

Hope you were able to get your questions answered and we will see you on the network soon!
