Update: All you have to after you download the font is right click>install and overwrite if necessary then restart your computer...
be sure to make a backup of the current VRC terminal font.

The Flight Deck / Automatic weather Download FS2004
« on: August 07, 2013, 03:25:33 AM »
Well the same thing has been happening to FSX since March and the conclusion that I've seen (Here <edit> ok maybe not but i did read this on avsim in june, which is what caused me to go out and buy ASE) is The real world FS wx engines have been killed.  Which means to get real world weather you must either A use Squawkbox in FS9(unsure if it does wx in 9, I know it doesn't in FSX) or B get an add on wx program (i believe that may be hard to find for FS9).  FSX users can get freeware, i forgot which one is free (OPUS?).  Unfortunate to both the pilot community and ATC community as well.

The Control Room Floor / VRC files to EUROSCOPE

Quote from: Rahul Parkar
If vZID have Euroscope files, why are you using the VRC sector file in Euroscope?

I suggest you speak with one of the instructors or mentors at your ARTCC to help you setup Euroscope correctly, you should not be using VRC files in ESE if you have Euroscope files available, for example, an ESE is not just a POF file, but it has more elements, which you will have to have when you progress.

Cheers!

I think what he is saying is that he may want to visit or transfer and want to know how to convert the files.

Realistically, you need to approach this process like programming.  Start with basic VRC files, sct and sct2 files.  Understand what all the headers and stuff do.  Then attempt to read the euroscope documentation and understand.  Personally i've found that unless you have someone who knows what they are doing, you aren't going to have much success.  You can get basic functions down, but the more advanced stuff like automatic handoffs, radar blind spots, and correlated vs uncorrelated, you need to have someone who is good with the program help you out.

The Classroom (Controller Tips) / Controlling the Arrivals

I do this all the time, especially when there isn't any traffic. My personal record...clearing an ILS 125 miles out. Muahahaha!
once upon a time there was a a ZOA controller flying through ZMP in the dead of night.  A center controller, bright fellow, cleared them for an ils into KPLN from 545 miles away.  "No traffic observed between you and the field," were the magical words.  But then the ZOA's buddies came up and request IFR out of KPLN 5 minutes later.  The controller was crushed

Foot Push to talk is the best.  Tried once and loved it, really frees up the hands.

The point behind the RNAV DPs is that you are using them the second you are in the air; no vectors required.  ATC assigns the DPs.  However, there are a few things you can do to pretty much guarantee that you'll get the RNAV DP that you want....
long live DC9's?

General Discussion / Integrity of the Network
« on: November 12, 2010, 08:47:36 PM »
Quote from: Dan Leavitt
2nd: This thought has probably come up, but I don't think I've seen it said in this thread.  In order for someone to control any position on the network, they at the very least have to take a VATUSA exam, and go through some sort of training. The pilots on the other hand, have their free email account that they can register with, and done, they're on the network. What if we required the pilots to take a VATSIM exam, built around flying, with some ATC components in it, so they know what they're getting into, and maybe some sort of training program, ie: a moodle, atutor, etc... Sure it will take some work to get set up, but it would be for the good of the network. We're already half-way there with the pilot ratings, now lets go all the way and have these exams and training site. It could bring back the integrity of the network. Like I said, it's probably been brought up somewhere, but with all the new issues coming to light, maybe it's time for another look at the idea.

i would think this really is possible and should be implemented.  Open book test just like our basic ATC test when we join vatusa.

General Discussion / What we need to be discussing
« on: February 20, 2010, 10:09:51 PM »
I agree with what a few people have stated here.  The problem for the lack of pilots isn't atc.  Its pilot client, which is out of vatusa's hands, unless vatusa were to assemble some programmers to fix the problem.  Luke i 100% agree with you.  Sme with AJ Heiser.
