Somethings (IE: 7 Digit Callsigns) need to be followed;

But the tail number on my RW airplane is only 6, including N... :(

Cheers

I know I'm in the minority, but I agree with that point. Given that to play is to, "engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation," I find it hard to argue otherwise :-) That being said, how we choose to "play" the game is up to us, and we choose a fairly realistic manner to play.
I absolutely agree, it's about being happy and enjoying yourself. As stated numerous times throughout the thread, our messages are simply offerings incase someone is attempting to simulate realism (which, I think, most are).

My  ":-X" wasn't because I disagree with Byron's point, rather that I can't stand the word "game" when referencing a simulator. Then again, I guess it depends on how you "play" it.

Overall, like Byron said, do what makes you happy and, if you're trying to make it "as real as it gets" then we'll be there to offer advice on how to do so.  :)

Happy holidays, gents!



So long as bourbon is not prohibited on network, I think I'll stay happy ;-)

Speaking of which, I think we need to come up with a VATUSA holiday drink.

Excellent point.  Is it 1700 yet?

Cheers

Gents,

While I don't disagree with some of the things that you have stated in the thread. I do believe it's a game. I have been on this network for quite some time and have noticed the steady decline in pilot participation do to the "realism." We can all make this as realistic as we want or don't want. Somethings (IE: 7 Digit Callsigns) need to be followed; however we don't need to make it to the point pilots don't want to participate. As the controller...Control your phraseology, actions, and airspace as realistic as you can, but pick and choose your battles. The VRD callsign would not have bothered me one bit. As long as Matt was enjoying himself and reciveing good ATC, that is all that matters.

Matt,

File what you want and be happy. It's a game and most of us won't say a word.

Do what you do.
