  • Since the release of the PMDG B777-300ER, many more people have been taking to the virtual skies in MSFS 2020 and making Oceanic crossings. When on VATSIM, this needs to be done in the correct way which is essentially, the same way as it is done in real life. It may seem daunting at first but this video will ensure you know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it in the most simple way possible to ensure you have a good and realistic Oceanic crossing.
    IMPORTANT NOTES:-
    - Not all controllers use CPDLC & is not a requirement to fly Oceanic on VATSIM.
    - Position reports are not mandatory (as IRL and on VATSIM, controllers can see where you are now!) - but, you can make/send them if you wish.
    - If you fly a NAT Track that is not longer valid (see video), controllers can no longer clear you via this 'NAT track' but instead, will treat it as a random route
    - Once in Oceanic airspace, SQUAWK code 2000 should be used
    - The easiest way to file your Oceanic clearence is to use the NatTrak website shown in the video

    Hello from vatsim oceanic controller, we actually asume that everyone entering airspace is ABS-B equipped so no position reports are required. If pilots want to make them we ofc allow, but its not necessary.

    Great video however I believe there is are some information that is incorrect when doing Oceanic crossings when on VATSIM. 1 thing I didn't hear you mention is that you should be squawking 2000 after being in Oceanic airspace for 30 mins

    Thanks for the tutorial! Haven't flown oceanic in a hot minute, but sure will do in the near future. From what I can remember I once was told not to reach the entrypoint before a certain time. And I remember to have set the time in the MCDU of either the PMDG 747 or 777. Do I remember correctly? and if so - how did I do that? :D

    Hello , Is that really how it works on VATSIM ? because unfortunately many controllers over Atlantic do not accept CPDLC , only voice or web clearence available . I don't know why, since we already have ACARS system modelled in 777 , or do any of you have any better info about it ? .

    • @funkyspyspy
      @funkyspyspy 22 дні тому

      Heya, ACARS isn't supported at the moment on VATSIM due to software limitations. We are, however, looking to see if we are able to implement it in our controller clients. For now, nattrak will simulate our ACARS operation in VATSIM.

    Is there a conventional methode of HF communication and SELCAL for message contacts from ATC? Or is there only VHF and CPDLC for clearence in the 777?

    • @Easyjetsimpilot
      @Easyjetsimpilot  23 дні тому

      Unfortunately, VATSIM cannot replicate HF.

    • @funkyspyspy
      @funkyspyspy 22 дні тому

      ​@Easyjetsimpilot Correction to this, VATSIM doesn't support HF radios, but it does a nifty trick with VHF where you tune into a VHF frequency that is aliased to a HF, and when tuned in range of a controller on that frequency, it tunes into HF on the AFV backend. You won't be able to see the HF frequency yourself, but your pilot client is actually tuned to HF.😊

    Question i'm hoping you can answer. If no controller is online, do we not file clearance? Then what happens if we've not filed clearance if no controller is online, and one actually comes online?

    • @funkyspyspy
      @funkyspyspy 22 дні тому

      Heya, if there isn't a controller online before you enter, then you don't need to file it in nattrak. You can if you want, but it's optional. If you have entered oceanic airspace and a controller comes online, there's no need to get oceanic clearance, it'll be taken as though you've already been given.

    Site above has no info about track at LOMSI.... and second question.. if track inactive i should wait untill it become active? ofc it is not problem in real life, flight schedules are made according that situation. But in simulator.. if i cant sycronise my free time for play with that shedule table i cant cross ocean?

    • @Easyjetsimpilot

      It's not a problem, this would just be a Random Route - which is fine.
      All it means is when requesting your oceanic clearance, you have to report EVERY waypoint across the Ocean instead of just saying 'NAT C' for example.
