Saves the £80 taxi from the airport to Lime Street Station ;)

@@boojr0906 no trains or buses available?

[@boojr0906]

@@XaviRonaldo0 Yeah but if you’ve arrived at 3am you aint getting a train or bus 🤣 It was more of a joke. People do get taxis to the airport though, it’s more convenient

And not even a route, bro was on a mission

Hello! I know this was posted 2 months ago so you've probably picked this up by now, but watching you type out clearances manually to text aircraft was painful lmao You should look up the macros. Type them in, hit space and you're good to go! Common ones being: .sid = automatically inserts their entire clearance into the box (dest, SID, squawk, QNH) .push = Push and Start Approved .p(n,e,s,w) = Push and Start Approved face (whatever direction letter you put in) .ho = Contact [callsign] on frequency [frequency] (for this one, you'll need to put the ES callsign into the $1 field and hit tab. ie LCC for LON_C_CTR, CCT for Manchester Tower) .taxi = Taxi holding point $1 via $2 (use tab to jump between the fields) .stand = Taxi stand $1 via $2 .rc = Readback correct .uni = No further ATC, monitor unicom 122.800 Makes life a lot easier, especially when it's busy!

Very helpful

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Yas, indeed picked it up now. Picked it up with the Gatwick training :) Hopefully helps other controllers though!

1. I always wanted to see the ATC side of VATSIM. Quite fascinating point of view. 2. That 1 aircraft with the 7501 code. Rather interesting too. 1 off from the forbidden 7500 code.

Just watched this full video, wow so busy yet you had full control all the way through, fantastic work. Your professionalism is superb to say the least. I'm reasonably new to Vatsim (pilot) but watching these clips just amazes me and excites me to plan my next flight online. Looking forward to watching your other clips real soon. Cheers

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Means a lot, thank you. I have just gained my endorsement to control at EGKK and its soooo much busier there, lol. Thank you for the support, means a lot to me :)

[@ChazDraycott]

Lovely to see someone controlling my local. Only negative feedback from me is that you're very quiet, but top job otherwise.

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Yeah the microphone needs adjusting lol. Thanks!

It's "keflavik" not "keklavik" or "kekflwk" or "keklklik" :)

I’m British, it is my duty to mispronounce everything!

Hello your euroscope airport layout looks nice. with the colors for the runway and green areas . Could you do a tutorial on how to set these up ?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Hi, these are the default settings for me. However I believe they can be set under other set -> general (or other settings) -> display

[@BEAGLEBOSS]

That was great watch, I am trying to learn Vatsim phrases and this stream certainly did help. Great job

[@paultchaikovsky8878]

Nice work

[@JH_P621]

hello, i have one question about euroscope settting. uh the setting at depature list ( Seq ) is TSSR text option?

[@thevatsimcontroller]

Seq is the slot which the A/C takes up. It displays the order at which the ATC has dealt with the aircrafts. It can be enabled in the departure list settings (F).
