General Discussion / VATFLY - must read
« on: October 22, 2013, 11:28:52 PM »Quote from: Alex Mancebo
Hi guys
My names is Alex and I am the founder of the now retired VATFLY. Few months ago we had to close doors because of a malware planted in our servers now I am re opening doors to a new, stronger, modern ATO in VATSIM. With VATFLY we were stationed at KFLL for all our practice flight and acted as our main airport, with that we brought a great amount of traffic to that airport, programs like Fast Track were we selected an ARTCC an would gather as many pilot as we could to certify them all one day. With this new program I want to make it bigger and stronger but again, I want a brand new start.
Before we would select the ARTCC for our main station, I want to hear ideas of airport you think we should make our main station. Whoever we select from here I want to have a strong partnership, one that can be just good communication or in some forms help out each other (nothing complicated)
This is what we look for in the airport;
Class B or C airspace
A Flight Training area designated by the ARTCC or assigned in real life already.
ARTCC must have an active staff.
Reply with ICAO / ARTCC and directions to the Flight Training area that can be found in charts or explain where is this area going to be if not in charts.
Replies can be done here or to my email at [email protected]
Hello Alex,
Congratulations on launching again. ZLA would be more than happy to host your training operations. Feel free to email me at [email protected] if you are looking to discuss some specifics.

Hello Brian,
The VATSIM datafeed was previously down, but is now backup. You should not be having any trouble using the tool now.

General Discussion / Again?

Ya, something is wrong. ZOA has lost about 10 controllers. Looking around, many people have be removed from their staff positions and several rosters have lost multiple controllers.
It looks like about half of all of the ATMs were removed.

Looking at my ZFW admin panel on VATUSA, it appears a few guys have been moved out. Did VATUSA get "hacked" again or was this a reset in the database?
I am observing issues as well.

Hi Tom,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble. What is your CID? You might want to send Don an email at [email protected] if you haven't already.

General Discussion / Rapid Descent Not Necessary
« on: September 29, 2012, 10:29:10 PM »Quote from: Hugh Byrd
Lately I have been subjected to unnecessary Rapid descents at airports that in my thinking aren't certified for that type of landing.I am sorry to hear you received unsatisfactory ATC service while in VATUSA. I suggest you use the feedback forms on the ARTCC websites as well as contact the regional staff accordingly. Unfortunately this is more of a regional issue rather than a VATUSA issue.
To be specific tonight I flew from KMCY to KFLL IFR via R-nav until I arrived at swags and received notification to contact KMIA APP. I contacted KMIA APP and received instructions that were given to me so fast that I couldn't understand what was said.
This created a communication mess between me and a lot of other pilots. Finally when I was about three nm from the end of rw 9R I had to make a rapid descent landing and that isn't how any pilot is supposed to land an airplane.
It seemed to me the instructions were always to late and not ledge able. This incident happened about 9:00 PM it has happened before.
I.E. Earler part of this week on 09-25-2012 I flew from KMEM to KSTL and incountered bad weather and received the same type of Air Traffic control behavior and problems. I believe that this is not what VATSIM is all about.
I am a FS pilot since the 1980's when Windows 3.0 was brand new and you had to know a little about DOS system or you couldn't get your computer up and running my point in making this last statement is let whoever needs to know I didn't start flight simming just yesterday. I have about 1800 hours flight time and I do know how to fly an airplane.
This problem needs to be addressed and taken care of ASAP, as you can tell by my posting that I am a little bit disgusted with the VATSIM ATC at this time.
Best regards
Hugh Byrd
Kind Regards,
-Colin
