Thanks Daniel - now it comes down to whether or not i want to install my Windows XP Pro on my new laptop. Is this a good idea?

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / VRC and Windows 7
« on: February 08, 2012, 07:07:38 AM »
Since Christmas 2011 I have been in search of an answer as to why my new laptop with Windows 7 will not display the TEXT area in VRC. Those of that use VRC know how important that area is; so that we can communicate with text pilots; or simply multi-task giving text commands and audio commands when it gets busy for us on our ARTCC position. I have tried every display setting in the DISPLAY properties of Windows 7; from lowest to highest [recommended]. The only difference is it changes from a small window to a normal window as I change and troubleshoot the problem. Even in the small window the text area is NOT visible and there is plenty of room for it to show up. Not only does the text area not show up in VRC; but neither does the top menu bar items from LEFT to RIGHT. I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL just to exit the program. Your insight(s) would be greatly appreciated; thanks.

Hi All,
I just joined and want to get in there and go as it were. I am a licensed single engine land pilot with about 100 hrs. Haven't flown in the real world in many years. I want to learn the correct procedures in and around ATC covered areas, but want to work my way into it. Not really interested in a KJFK to KORD start.
A couple of questions if I may...
Is it ok to fly within VATSIM through areas that do not have real personnel coverage and if so do I just fly within FSX as usual?
I see on servinfo areas that have no ATC or Tower/Gnd coverage and want to work my way into working with a tower. I would like to start out with a simple plane VFR going from uncontolled airport to a controlled airport or versa visa. Even flying in the real world the communication procedures are daunting so I just want to get it right and not bollux up the works. Am currently trying to read through as much of the new pilot info on VATSIM as time allows.
Anyway, I tend to ramble, thanks in advance for any help.

Norman, great accomplishment being a real world pilot "Congrats!" Also your question/concerns are nicely stated. KZLA has a wonderful pilot exams program for all simulated pilots to hone their simulated piloting skills. The exams range from basic VFR flight pattern to complex IFR charts; which involves flying a DME ARC to an uncontrolled airfield, and other challenges.
Graduates find themselves among the best simulated pilots among all VATSIM pilots. Your online communication and pilot skills will become readily noticed by you and those you communicate with. Enjoy the pilot exam challenges and I look forward to you flying in my control airspace.
