So honestly, I expect everyone who joins to have some maturity, foresight and common sense to study materials, know how to fly before joining.

I think you missed the satire in this video, it was supposed to be a joke. As you said everyone starts somewhere what is the recorder is just beginning?

[@pedromarques4152]

I know this can be very angry, but we need to understand this doesn't happen only with children, this can happen with every other starter pilot or ATC. When I started as an ATC at IVAO, I only made the wrong things, I couldn't make anything correctly. Even though I was in this situation, the pilots still were giving me incentives and at this point I could grow up as an ATC. So even though all of these things can be very boring to the community, we need to invite those guys so that they can grow up and get to become a very good virtual pilot in the future. If the pilots didn't give me incentives, most likely I wouldn't be an ATC at IVAO and of course I would be very sad to not get to start at a virtual aviation network, so that's why I am very grateful for them and the entire IVAO.

[@getbrutal4388]

My first few times trying Vatsim were fuckin stressful. I found actual real life radio in flight lessons way less stressful. Props to this kid. Not to mention a lot of people I've heard on Vatsim (mind you I haven't spent much time on it) sound professional but they are using constant non-standard comms while ATCs are banging traffic together so while the kid needs to learn more, he's at least attempting to "sound" right so he fits right in lol.

I played XPlane 10 as a kid for hundereds of hours, learning about aviation starting from nothing. After a few hundered hours under my belt, I wanted to try to play multiplayer. I joined into vatsim, trying my best to learn and follow the rules on the website, most of which I had never encountered before, coming from single player. During my first 3-hour flight, I was ridiculed by not 1, not 2, but 3 different people; called names and made fun of for not knowing all these obscure rules. I felt so awful after that, I quit, and have never touched XPlane since, even singleplayer. I went 5+ years before touching a flight simulator again. I am glad the ATC were not overly rude to him--he's just a kid!

There is more and more and more of this coming now that Microsoft and Asobo have made it a console simulator. At this point, I don’t even call it a simulator because it seems to be catering to the children and to the people that just don’t know what they’re doing. There are certain cities and in particular LAX for whatever reason these kids try to fly in and out of the busiest and biggest airports with the biggest planes and not know what the fuck they’re doing. I sit back and I just listen to ATC and VATSIM and I just get a chuckle at listening to these dumb kids because they don’t listen to what the controllers are telling them. They don’t go to KZbin and watch videos. They don’t do any type of research. They just think that anybody can jump in an aircraft and pilot it and go into some of these spaces. And it’s happening more and more and more. I think that’s why more and more people are flying off-line now.
