To be clear here, I fully understood the training video when it said, "Many of the facilities in VATUSA have the sector files available for download to the public from their website."

As I said earlier, the problem began when I followed the instructions in the video with the guy that mumbles really fast. The video explicitly says to download and install the Boston sector files. It doesn't say "install whatever sector files you can manage to find."

The fact that you are not able to do what the video instructs you to do is what prompted my question here. For those of us that are brand new to the simulated world of ATC clear instructions are pretty important but that doesn't happen in that training video. A while back I looked into this training but didn't continue. I'm starting to remember why.

Thanks again for the replies!

I've seen earlier posts regarding this question but have yet to find an answer. In the very early stages of CBT one of the first steps is VRC setup. A nice video explains it but it states "...sector files available for download to the public from their website..." and that doesn't seem to be the case. The video instructs you to load the Boston sector files into VRC. It would be nice if they pointed you to a place to GET those files. I easily found the Boston Virtual ARTCC website but can't find a place to download the files. Do I really need to apply for membership to every ARTCC website and await approval to download their sector files or is there a better way?
