Thanks for the video, this was really helpful. I get the vatsim communication part and I know how to program the FMC based on a static flight plan but I'd love to see a video on how to adapt the FMC flight plan and aircraft to ATC instruction in realtime.
if a beginner asks for the controller to repeat several times because reading back all the information is a challenge would that be considered annoying?
I'm not the guy you sent your message to, but I am a flight instructor and am thinking about starting a UA-cam channel. What do you want to know? Where do you fly?
This looks great, you say in the vid that you recommend this for new pilots who have never used Vatsim before, what about complete novices? I have just bought MFS 2020 and will be starting on a flight sim for the first time when it is released. I certainly don't want to be "that guy" for 2 reasons, firstly because of the frustration that it causes but secondly knowing that I would be held in contempt by the guys who are deadly serious about it ie: the guy in the vid overlay.
Cool Guy, I hear ya! Talking to strangers who are in a position of authority can be intimidating. Tell you what, join my discord and next time I go up in the tower come fly with me!
so im completly new to vatsim..a little intimidated to start flying with vatsim atc as im worried of forgetting something or doing something wrong but i'm going to do my best to learn.. my question is about the skyvector .. it does not give me the option anywheres to see the airport charts of the runways. has it changed since this video?
I've been trying all afternoon .. when I click on the airport I do not get the links your video shows. It automatically opens a page of airport information, shows vfr and ifr charts but no airport charts anywhere to be found for me. I don't understand
You do not HAVE to file a flight plan for VFR, that goes for real life too. However, it is helpful if you do. If you just come on and state intentions, more than likely the controller will create a flight plan for you. It just cuts down on our workload if you go ahead and do it.
Bryn Price FAA charts and some international charts are available for free on ChartFox. I will say, though, I hope you have some other source of up-to-date navdata because it’s difficult to fly with old data.
This video did a great job of convincing me to never ever use vatsim. All the least enjoyable parts of flying + snobs who get all huffy when you dont get it 100% right. I'll go fly with the "its just a hobby" guy.
VATSIM - HELP! I can't find any other way to get to you. Hope you're reading this. I have been trying to reset my password for almost a week, and VATSIM has yet to respond by sending me an e-mail with my reset information. If you need my VATSIM ID let me know.
Am I being dumb here? In the filed flight plan he entered the aircraft as a heavy then chooses a C152 - I'm new to flight simming so it's probably me :)
I was demonstrating how to file a flight plan of all types. I then move to communication. I didn't use that flight plan because I was flying VFR in a Cessna.
'with you' is considered unprofessional these days - mostly because it's not standard professional ATC terminology so in bad conditions it can unnecessarily confuse comms. Modern ATC and basically all ATC outside of the USA will not use 'with you' anymore.
Correct. However, it is still acceptable in the U.S. When I am flying IRL I call the controller, give my tail number and altitude, I add position if it is a first radar contact.
Well, Information Alpha could also be Information Bravo, or Charlie, or Delta, etc. It is the current weather for the airport and it is labeled with one of the 26 letters of the English alphabet. It generally changes once an hour but can change faster based on the weather.
There's no shame in writing your info to readback down on a pad. I cannot remember that shit. You're not gonna get whipped if it takes you a second or two to respond unless it's an urgent readback like expedited taxi

Who just came here after watching the partnership video between Vatsim and MSFS 2020?
And I'm still confused as hell, as to what the hell I'll need to do and say when I roam around in fs2020.
Cha! I did, haha!
@@ShayK47 I've always been scared to go on VATSIM without knowing the jargon.
Don't be. If I am ever online, I announce it on my Discord, feel free to hop on VATSIM. I am MORE than willing to work with new pilots!
Me lol
Thanks for the video, this was really helpful. I get the vatsim communication part and I know how to program the FMC based on a static flight plan but I'd love to see a video on how to adapt the FMC flight plan and aircraft to ATC instruction in realtime.
Thank you
Great video, looking forward to flying on Vatsim!
if a beginner asks for the controller to repeat several times because reading back all the information is a challenge would that be considered annoying?
Depends. If its once, not a big deal. If its three times, I'd start to get annoyed. Don't be afraid to ask for a text clearance.
"I don't read charts sir"
Oh dear
VATSIM support just announced for MSFS2020 :D
I am very happy about it too!
the charts dude I was there omg
Liked it even before ive viewed it as i know like all your videos, they are top quality and informative 🛩
Well done and most appreciated Micah, thank you!
Very handy video! How about one for how to deal with ATC during VFR approach and landing

VATSIM is for novices as well as long as you know the basics.
Once you've got the hang of taxi, take off, landing, taxi.. go over the vatsim basics then hop on (in a less busy ATC area so they can help you)
Is ATC with you the entire flight to Atlanta? Or Hand off the center or tower at Atlanta? Or just at airports ?
yeah this helped but now im more scared to start using vatsim
Cool Guy, I hear ya! Talking to strangers who are in a position of authority can be intimidating. Tell you what, join my discord and next time I go up in the tower come fly with me!
The only way to learn is to do it . Go for it
so im completly new to vatsim..a little intimidated to start flying with vatsim atc as im worried of forgetting something or doing something wrong but i'm going to do my best to learn.. my question is about the skyvector .. it does not give me the option anywheres to see the airport charts of the runways. has it changed since this video?
No, its very much still there.
@@MicahMesser very strange because i cant find it anywheres.. having to use another chart site atm because of it
I've been trying all afternoon .. when I click on the airport I do not get the links your video shows. It automatically opens a page of airport information, shows vfr and ifr charts but no airport charts anywhere to be found for me. I don't understand
Figured it out :(. It doesn't work on Canadian airports :(
Is it possible for a C172 to fly IFR in the VATSIM world, or is IFR just for BIG Iron? (PS Delta 737 at 11:05 is past the hold short line.)
Absolutely you can fly the C172 IFR in VATSIM
how to use the thing to talk to the people
Gidday .just let you know your website link is broken. Cheers
Do you still have to file a flight plan on simbrief if you are flying say a cessna VFR? Or just state your intentions/requests to the towers?
Im sorry but departure doesnt need the ch
You do not HAVE to file a flight plan for VFR, that goes for real life too. However, it is helpful if you do. If you just come on and state intentions, more than likely the controller will create a flight plan for you. It just cuts down on our workload if you go ahead and do it.
on d-atis it does not give me the option of arrival or departure
Could you do a tutorial showing us how to use the radios on the zibo 737?
How can you get the moving plane on a chart/plate? Like seen in your video at about the time you talked about the ‘I don’t read charts bloke’
Navigraph.
@@MicahMesser Anyway to do it without a Navigraph subscription? I have the plates/charts for Australia as they are provided at zero cost.
@@BrynPrice You might be able to use Avitab, there are ways to import maps/charts into, and it has a "moving map" feature.
Bryn Price FAA charts and some international charts are available for free on ChartFox.
I will say, though, I hope you have some other source of up-to-date navdata because it’s difficult to fly with old data.
Can you fly vfr on vatsim?
So you connect to the server by squawk box or xpilot?
I would use xpilot it is a newer and more feature packed software
This video did a great job of convincing me to never ever use vatsim.
All the least enjoyable parts of flying + snobs who get all huffy when you dont get it 100% right.
I'll go fly with the "its just a hobby" guy.
That is your choice! I have had almost a 99% enjoyable time.
Is the game for free or we have to buy the game?
Thank you so much
yesss Micah, let's get 5k subss
I did!
i’m still confused on how to talk to the ATC
What part?
VATSIM - HELP! I can't find any other way to get to you. Hope you're reading this. I have been trying to reset my password for almost a week, and VATSIM has yet to respond by sending me an e-mail with my reset information. If you need my VATSIM ID let me know.
I am not in anyway an administrator for VATSIM. Sorry, cannot help you.

Bear in mind - Use a kneeboard or better a sheet of paper. When i fly in real life i write down everything a controller tells me
Absolutely. I generally virtually fly with a notebook on my desk. When I fly IRL I use a kneeboard.
Great
what is information alpha
Well, Information Alpha could also be Information Bravo, or Charlie, or Delta, etc. It is the current weather for the airport and it is labeled with one of the 26 letters of the English alphabet. It generally changes once an hour but can change faster based on the weather.
hi jake
music makes this UNWATCHABLE !
Rock and bloody roll mate !
It makes it alot less boring. If background music bothers you that much, you probably shouldn't be on the internet.
There's no shame in writing your info to readback down on a pad. I cannot remember that shit. You're not gonna get whipped if it takes you a second or two to respond unless it's an urgent readback like expedited taxi
Absolutely.
STOP putting background music to videos with *narration* .. it ONLY makes it HARDER to hear what you are saying and is VERY distracting ... EVERYONE STOP DOING THIS.. we are NOT here to listen to music !!
You are welcome to watch other videos without it. For my videos, I have an artistic style. You are free to not like it.
wait, I thought you shoudlnt say with you? lol keep it concise? different teaching methods perhaps, personally i dont mind saying it :)
Eh, it's probably not the exact phraseology but it's fine.
First
don't say with you mann
Correct. You learn over the years lol
