Events / Re: [9/10/2021 2300z - 0300z] The JFK FNO
« on: September 11, 2021, 09:14:48 AM »The good news is, that even with the childish attempt to overload ZNY with traffic to prove a point(....it was obvious....) ZNY handled it all. I don't think any other ARTCC can handle a heavily attended FNO like ZNY can. The other ARTCC's could use this as a gut check moment, and learn a lot from ZNY in my opinion.I highly doubt it was the intention of most pilots to “overload ZNY.” I think the largest stake in the “overload ZNY” game was ZNY themself.

The Control Room Floor / Re: Anyone still using the old voice system for landline calls?
« on: May 11, 2021, 01:18:58 AM »If there’s a way through AFV to get VCCS working reliably I’d much rather use that over Teamspeak / Discord as it adds to the immersion.To add to this. I would definitely try using the landline if it worked. I think it's a bit more "organized" than sometimes having to search for a specific person in a Discord/Teamspeak channel. Being able to just call/override someone would be nice during events, especially inter-facility.

General Discussion / Re: How active is VATSIM?
« on: June 20, 2020, 09:51:56 AM »
Hi Jonathan, welcome to VATSIM. Typically, you should give the ARTCC you join 48-72 hours to process your information. With that said, a login to the website should work almost automatically (assuming they gave you worked, you were probably approved in some way). I'd suggest reaching out to the ATM or DATM for further support. Some ARTCCs may be more or less active than others, but you should get a response within the next few days hopefully.

General Discussion / Re: Mode C Transponders
« on: December 09, 2018, 10:18:24 PM »
I always leave my transponder on when flying in the real world. There is no benefit to turn it off unless you are trying to hide from ATC. If I'm not speaking with anyone, I sure want them to be able to see where I'm at better in case they're pointing me out to someone else. I'm not really sure what realism you're trying to go for here... There are planes without transponders and I guess some people leave it off, but I'm not going to turn my transponder off just because I left a Mode C veil or entered class E airspace.

General Discussion / Re: We don't talk enough...
« on: November 09, 2018, 01:25:59 PM »
I'd like more transparency in the division regarding the state of VATUSA. We haven't held a townhall in quite some time and I feel like I'm out of the loop in terms of what is happening at the division level. I know that I, as well as other members of my facility, have questions and concerns about how the division is operating. I call question to sudden and frequent staff changes. As an outsider who is not a staff member (and does not have access to staff related forums), I cannot tell if this division is being run into the ground or not. While this division may not be a dictatorship, there are enough obscurity and lack of public forum that it is impossible to differentiate what is going on at upper levels from that of an authoritarian regime.
Regarding communications between ARTCCs, I find no issue in how ARTCCs are running right now. I have 8-10 ARTCC's teamspeak/discord information and find it fairly easy to just hop in and have conversations as desired. My ARTCC frequently sees guests from other ARTCCs participating in conversation.
