I always though that everybody used there isp email address, obviously not.

so did I. you're paying money for the damn thing, you may as well get some use out of it.

I dont think i've ever done a serious flight on VATSIM, i always seem to get told of by controllers but its good fun

[RingwaySam]

Oh yeah, when's your new VA out? I think out of all of them you've only had a few members haven't you? Maybe it's time to invest some money into making a good one.

[sarcasm]Yea, funny guy![/Sarcasm]

With regards to the e-mail address that comes with the ISP, I do have one, but I wouldn't know where to start looking for it, I'd be going back to the late 90's if I attemted to look for it, I'd have to go so deep into my computers hard drive I'd get lost!

Freeserve - which then changed to Wanadoo which then was bought by Orange.

Then you should have emails with them; [email protected]

Well I couldn't sign-up for VATSIM with my Windows Live Mail or Google Mail accounts so in the short term I'm with IVAO.

I think both websites need a serious overhaul.

whats your internet provider? they'll usually give you some free e-mail addresses that will work for vatsim.

Vatsim is top notch, I dont think you can beat it. The reason I think everyone flies online is to have a sense of realsim and to be serious. ATC is very nice and its fun when you get the jokers. If you just want to "Buzz around" or just fool around, play offline. Or play on vatsim when theres no ATC online

Seriously, VATSIM is definitly better IMO, much more "professional" but as Sam and I found out, sometimes VATSIM controllers can be rather entertaining

Aside from that, VATSIM gets about 346742376346073451x more traffic in ATC and Pilots as IVAO (in my experience) does, so it makes for a more realistic experience.

I don't think I really should talk bad about IVAO, as I've never used it, but I've heard they'll have 12 year olds running things who don't know what they're talking about. I heard of one "controller" asking a pilot what wilco meant.
VATSIM is nice, but sometimes I think it's a little too serious for my tastes. I use neither.

please leave this discussion as you have nothing to contribute.

Is IVAO any good then? I'm thinking I might start out on IVAO and when I get some XP upgrade to Vatsim?

IVAO is much bigger in east europe, but IMO VATSIM is still much better, you may as well start with the best.

What does training consist of and how long does it last?

Just go to IVAO. They'll take anyone. Litterally.
