Anyone uses VATSIM

I tried it a few times, and the thing that struck me the most was how much concentration it took to fly the plane & actually talk to a controller! I really liked being able to talk to someone, and found the whole thing quite interesting. If I really flew a lot for fun I would probably use it, but since most of my flying is for product testing I don't use it. I say try it...all you have to lose is some time :)
 
i also have not tried it but from what i know of it two things is for sure you better listen to the Controller and you better know what you are doing.
 
I use vatsim anytime there is a controler in cuban airspace and florida keys. Can be a challenge.
 
I spent many hours flying on VATSIM flying for the VUSCG.

It was allot of fun & it greatly adds to the experience.
 
I've flown on VATSIM for quite a while now, the ATC has always been very patient and helpful. I suggest that if you're new to VATSIM flying, just make sure that you add a comment like "new pilot" or something to the comment section of your flightplan. Have fun with it!
