VATSIM Manchester (EGCC) to Gatwick (EGKK)

[654321825]

can you use time acceleration when you're using VATSIM? like, what if i wanted to fly internationally and I didn't want to wait for hours......

[joolsd]

@654321825 Yes but you need to ask permission from atc. This is userly done on long haul flights. Like the cross the pond event.

[780VolvoVn]

HI i dont have vatsim yet but i thinking of getting it, so i just wanted to know do you need fs2crew for the co-pilot to say v1 and v2 or do you get that in vatsim when you play

Great video by the way

[joolsd]

@780VolvoVn The aircraft or add-ons you use are down to you own personal preference. VATSIM is about simulating procedures, with proper ATC and flight planning.

[dag0620]

Hey Jools any chance of a some new videos?

[joolsd]

@dag0620 I hope to soon when. I try an roll with fraps when I can, but somethings I make too many mistakes. I will try to do some new ones in the future. 

[artvelpokrywacz]

Well done. Hopefully I will fly like this on Vatsim:) At the moment I have only one time log myself in to listen to ATC!:) but it just the beginning.

[202spook]

Nice Video.

1 quesion: Whats the name of the payware aircraft package you have there.

Keep up the nice work :-)

[joolsd]

@202spook pmdg

[plaady]

i have a quistion, when you get clearence how do you remember all the things the atc is saying to you. The only thing i can remeber is the squawkcode and the rest i forget straight away. Any tips??

[joolsd]

@plaady You use a pen.

[SpassMacher2000]

this shit is intense

[PilotInCommand100]

voice not very loud

[kimosab3]

that ATC hurts my ear so bad... he's talking too close to the mic...

[zecodfather]

When he said your cleared on the 'Honiley 1 Romeo' is this the one ATC assigned you ??????

[joolsd]

This is the SID from RWY24R at EGCC (Manchester.)

Notice that the magnetic tracks have now changed at EGCC, So 24R is now 23R.

[zecodfather]

So, when you file your flight plan do you include a SID and a STAR or do just fly the one ATC tell you to ??????

[joolsd]

Yes you fly the SID ATC give you. They should be standard, for each route. More often or not a VOR or a intersection is the first leg of a flight plan. For example HON. There will be a Honiley chart with all the HON SID's on.  The NATS website is very good for charts. google this and have a look.

[zecodfather]

What do you mean when you say millibars ?

[Nikola16789]

it's actually QNH in europe and it's requied for baro altimetar to work properly...milibars is actually hPa. In USA they use inHg (inches of mercury) , known as altimeter..standard is 29.92 which is equal of 1013.24 hPa or mbar

[Pilot899]

Pressure setting.

[JamesB767]

Hi, i have just brought PMDG 737 but mine looks nothing like your :S its weird because mine looks really crap and their is no sids & stars in the fmc:s

[1076667]

update your AIRAC if you want the SID,STARS

for details check navigraph

[goone1987]

are you sure you bought it

[balajinaidoo]

ive flown on vatsim using a beechcraft D in african region

ATC is so dull threre

its a miracle in u find a controller there

[kingboby12345]

can some one explain to me what vatsim is exactly and which simulator was this?

[dag0620]

FSX with a payware addon. Vatsim is like multyplayer with sevral diffrences. First of all instead of sessions, its 1 big server. You can fly anywhere and get atc from ppl all over the world. Also the atc is more advanced then the fsxc one. any questions pm please we can even go flying togehter.

[TheNorwayBoyz9594]

Its fs2004

[rileyturkey]

Yea, I fly on vatsim very ofter out of KIAD and DC can get very busy, keeping a pen and paper really does help.

[alex2mitch]

yes it really does but it depends how fast the ATC talk aswell.

[ncodrington]

NICE VIDEO! That's the first kid I've heard doing tower on Vatsim lol.

[howaboutht]

theres a couple that work, klax

[1053857]

he was working ground

[KingOfKingsJ]

What does alpha means? I am trying to learn some few things, Before I begin Vatsim.

[joolsd]

Alpha is the phonetic way of saying 'A'. Same with bravo 'B', Charlie 'C' and so on.

[eglyska]

information which tower provide by the time ,it can change,

[CR41G1888]

were did you get the aircraft with the fmc in it i cant find any aircaft with an fmc without having to pay for it

[joolsd]

You have to pay for good aircraft.

[ID0MiN4T0RI]

where do you get your aircraft from?

[balajinaidoo]

yes but there are also excellent freeware planes too

[BF2Commercials]

Do you need an FMC to fly on VATSIM?

[joolsd]

There is no rule which states you have to.

[crazygood150]

hey does anyone know if theres a VATSIM virtual airshow?

[seb13gp]

Hahah, hey, I flew out of Manchester last night, I heard you...I was Air France 768

[joolsd]

Defiantly wasn't me.

[seb13gp]

hmm...well somebody was SHT2901 and sounded a bit like you.

[xShawx]

Are you a member of British Airways Virtual, because in all off your videos you seem to be either "SpeedBird" or "Shuttle"

If so how good do you rank it

Im a nembie to vatsim and need to know which virtual airline you think is good

thanks Jack

[joolsd]

It's useful more than anything, because they give you software which generates valid BA flight plans, and a ACARS system which gives you info. I think the BA and pilots, try to emulate the procedure as closely as possible. It's just a nice call sign and valid flight plan from my point of view, but other members take it more seriously.

[joolsd]

PMDG

[cashcow69]

cool video. I am learning ATC with VATUSA. What plane is that. I mean I know you said 737 but what company made it?

[cutchie24112]

Boeing. If an aircraft has 7_7 in its name, it almost definetly is Boeing.

[crazypilot123]

What happens if you don't have a PMDG (so there for no FMC)...? It means i can't select a SID (or departure). Can i still fly...?

[joolsd]

Yes, but you need you use the charts and nav Aids

[crazypilot123]

But what do you say...? If they say the _____ departure what do i tell him coz i can't follow the departure...??

[joolsd]

It helps to have a pen and write down what they are saying to you. Then read it back. If they say read back correct, you have copied the instructions well and hopefully understood what it means.

[theltalpha]

Nice. But a radio check is NOT an initial call!

[CR41G1888]

were did you get the FMC

[joolsd]

Came with the AC. All of the good add-ons have FMCs

[craig9006]

is that default scenery ur using is it fs9?

[usrnamedenied]

is it normal that it's complicated to understand what ATC is saying? I'm a beginner at X-plane :)

[EIN771]

yes but only at first, it comes to you in a bit... not sure about xplane but its pretty easy to get used to it on vatsim and default atc in MSFS...

[mw1052]

Hiya, great video!

I was just wondering how you have such good frame rates on Vatsim. I would much appreciate it if you could tell me what you've got the main setting set to and how the frame rates are so good!

Thanks

Matthew

[joolsd]

It's hard to say. I guess a good PC helps, with general FS effects. In Squawk Box you can set the distance in which you can view other aircraft, and I think this might help with stopping them jerk around.

[HJ43050]

The engines should be started in a different order on following days to keep both in sequence regarding wear.

[icecreamman93]

what flight control's do you have?

[tradezone]

hey great video, for a non pilot you must have been really motivated to learn all there is to learn.

Great stuff ;)

[macca1088]

I eagerly await the day VATSIM has more than 1000 people on it at the same time. I rarely get coverage for my home airport (EGPH):(

[CessnaLegend]

its been done

usally sunday evening

[Richardelizee]

Does it even matter if we start the left or right engine first. I know most of the time they do so with the right engine. Would it have anything to do with APU

[joolsd]

Correct, although I started with the left. After closing one of the packs, this lets more air (from the APU) in to the other engine.

[choidj]

the left is started dirst in real life. Givs the ground crew time to load last minute baggage. The cargo doors are on the right.

[BritishPilot]

This is wrong. The engines are started on push back. The right engine is always started first in real life. I fly 763s for XL Airways. I hope this helps, If anyone has any questions about XL or the 767-300 aircraft, don't hesitate to ask me via Private Message

[flookie07]

I was going to ask you why But i guess your out of your old job :P What you doing now?working for another airline?

[studiesruinedmylife]

nice video.have to join up vatsim now :)

what panel was this?

[joolsd]

the whole aircraft is the PMDG addon

[fjshepherd93]

Thanks! I was the ground controller. My voice is less squeaky now, and I control Stansted Tower (EGSS_TWR) and as a visiting controller, hong kong tower (VHHH_TWR).

[colesy93]

hiya! can u actually communicate with other pilots in the air who are on VATSIM? and ive seen your other video where u are actually flying a training plane, are u training to be a pilot?

[joolsd]

Would like to but, very expensive.

[gokumalo]

yea but my question is, is there progressive taxi?

[joolsd]

No progressive taxi. VATSIM encourages a professional climate.

So ATC transmission such as 'request progressive taxi' or 'request the ILS' are rarely heard. Pilots are, helpful to other pilots, but should be self motivated and research by their own endeavour if they can, (ground charts, departures routes, flight planning etc.)

[joolsd]

Just to add there is a forum, and website. Members are happy to help out, the pilots wanting to be more professional. google this.

[BRADHblackdragon]

you can get all the charts for the u.k. airports -one chart type is airport diagram..this shows all the taxiways...you can now navigate yourself

[choidj]

You should try taxiing without progressive taxi, it is much funner. Once I got lost and nobody was able to explain where to go.

[JamesTpogo]

Yeah...if you like annoying controllers. Just pick up a chart and save them hassle :)

[gokumalo]

how do you know the where to taxi, do you use the diagrams or what? I just got my VATSIm ID today!

[joolsd]

go to the NATS website. Sign up get an account. There are pdf's charts there.

[vtwin1]

this showcases exactly what vatsim about, nice video!

[willtheaviator]

some gd atc there
