im not sure why but i was more scared to talk to vatsim atc than real atc for the first time

This! When I started flight training my CFI was amazed at my confidence on the radio. Thanks to Vatsim!

Dude, keep this series going. I would love it if you also start a vlog and take us on your "A day in the life of A320 pilot" And explain the difference between sim and real life!!! I think that will go viral. Many pilots show their daily life, but not many can really help us simmers visualize the difference.

[@RealSimPilot]

Thank you but I'm not an airline pilot. Only private pilot.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have been flying with IVAO but recently decided to try VATSIM and fortunately discovered your channel early in the process. I love your presentation style and have started working my way though this excellent series... (another 'well earned' subscriber, now smashing those 'Like' buttons). Thank you for everything you, and fellow enthusiasts do to make this hobby even more realistic :)

[@bugagenko]

Thank you for the video! now I’m not so anxious to try VATSIM!

[@TheScoobysteve]

When I was learning to fly it was very common for students to be more nervous about talking on the radio for the first time than actually flying the aircraft. Just do what I did and write down exactly what you want to say. It's pretty amazing how quickly it goes from incomprehensible gibberish to an incredibly efficient conversation.

[@michaelstack2024]

Excellent video. Very helpful for a first timer. Many thanks!

[@TruBluLew23]

What may also be helpful for people is getting a notebook. I have a notebook where I log all of my flights and each individual flight notes, etc. This way, I can look back on any of my flights or if I’m using an airport again, I’ll have a better idea of what to expect from ATC. Plus it feels more legit having a notebook!

[@RealSimPilot]

Great idea!

[@andybrockbank3027]

ATIS changed between audio and visual from Romeo to Sierra.

[@jumbo3937]

Great video, hoping to jump in soon.

[@Keljuk]

I just can’t understand the words the atc is speaking. It’s so unclear

[@joeglennaz]

When I was learning to fly for real, what they gave me was a couple of pages of pronounced of what to expect so when I called the Clarence delivery, they would write out what I was gonna say, and they wrote out what the controller was gonna say back so knowing ahead of time what they were going to say makes it much easier to understand it and then once you get it, it’s easier to understand in general.

[@Keljuk]

@@joeglennaz Little bit late reply but no prob:D Anyway I’m now flying on vatsim maybe 3 to 4 times a week and I really enjoy it:)

[@BlueSky_fur]

You can go to your audio settings in vPilot and disable the atc and radio effects if that helps :)

[@GrumpyOldMan9]

Participants should be obliged to use a microphone close to their mouth (like a headphone). Those communications done with the mic half a meter away (PC mic) detract from the realism.

[@coolguymanandget4530]

I wish we could fly with people on MSFS2020 like in dcs. That would be nice.

[@kylegaming70]

This is helping a lot.

[@peteallennh]

Is there any special significance to setting one’s home airport in vPilot? Is it just a convenient bit of metadata, or does it have a functional purpose?

First time using Vatsim here. When I connect to Vpilot, a jet engine sound starts in the sim, but yet there are no planes around me. So tried it on an empty airport and indeed the jet engine sound is always there as soon as I connect to Vpilot. Is this normal? How do I turn it off?

Hello so when i am getting in the sim and into the game and when i log in with Vpilot all the aircraft dosent macth and has no liveri? What have i done wrong

You need to contact the vatsim division for the country you want to control at, they can show you how to sign up for training. Be warned it's alot of work and you will start right at the bottom. Good luck 👍🏻

This was going so well (and I was following every step exactly) until you opened to your SIM settings, then I went into my own SIM (which is FSX and different from yours and no0where near as detailed) and when I opened FSX it just defauted to the regular game computerised ATC, (which was devastating as Im so desperate to hear Vatsim) what Sim do you use, also do you know how I connect VATSIM with my simulator?

[@RealSimPilot]

Vpilot works with FSX too. It's all exactly the same procedure. I'm using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Thanks, all sorted-out now, just had another question, the quality/realism of your SIM is a million times better than mine, do you think I need to download the Steam 40th Anniversary version or is it the quality of the PC that is impacting it, I currently have Steam FSX but am unsure of the year, (it just says Steam edition)@@RealSimPilot
