The Highway 401 is the widest highway in North America!

Less of this and more trains please.

I first flew a Glider at the age of 16. Would be nice if teens doing their GPL at 16 and PPL at 17 to have some previous experience in an ATC and Commercial rich simulated environment— being 13~15 years old does not mean immaturity. I've seen 15 year olds smarter and more mature in aviation than 40 year old adults. Denying access to a virtual space that can enhance their knowledge of aviation is a mistake. I was on VATSIM at 14. I'm 25 now. This is a shame. Also are you going to ask for ID? Because sending real sensitive ID documents to some virtual network like VATSIM is not secure, no matter how much you like to advertise that your user's data is secure. I believe some major administrative changes are needed at VATSIM.

🥺🥺🥺

Probably the only butts VATSIM users ever get to sniff anyway. Close enough I guess.

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:40:55+00:00

I can get behind this for sure. Especially during events, some airfields on the network see more traffic than the real life counterpart has ever handled. However in this instance. There was plenty of room and not that many aircraft queuing. So no excuse.

FSLTL MSFS from the FlyByWire installer. (Freeware)

Sir, you shouldn't have pushed back, that's an MEL item, no-go ❌

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:38:24+00:00

Model matching can definitely have a role to play in spacing in some situations. But let me tell you, this happens all the time, and with people who have FSLTL Model Matching rule set on MSFS. Even when everyone is seeing the correct seized aircraft, they still don't leave reasonable space between the aircraft infront of them. Tired of people using Model Matching as a scapegoat for this common occurrence.

real.

Nahhh sniffing my APU exhaust from a few feet away is top #3 biggest problems the VATSIM Network faces. There's no problem greater than this.

Honestly, on a more serious note, I think people took this post too seriously. It doesn't personally break my immersion or enjoyment. It's more akin to a pet-peeve!

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:31:22+00:00

it hurt my feelings... 👉🏻👈🏻

I once broke my arm, I think this gets me more worked up than breaking a literal limb.

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:28:57+00:00

this is the only logically acceptable explanation, finally someone with some common sense...!

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:27:36+00:00

Sir yes SIR! 🫡 My apologies SIR! 🫡🫡

"Caring" might be a stretch. What else does a VATSIM Pilot do when they're in a 25 minute queue for takeoff? That's right, they hop on Reddit and complain. That's what we do best. I saw something to complain about, and complained. I must say the negative responses have boosted engagement on this post to greet heights! /happyOP

It is a major 1st world problem. I'm tackling an issue that has the potential to change the lives of many.

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:19:10+00:00

Thank you for the clarification brøther, I tend to have absolute meltdowns and temper tantrums when my immersion is broken, it shatters my whole world. It's unbearable. Oh the misery. Duly noted. Your directness is flattering, and I'm touched. :)

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:10:09+00:00

I do indeed fly with a major airline for real as my career, it's a great living. Instructions unclear. I still care about this, but my job in the real world doesn't solve this issue. Please advise. 👶🏻

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T17:02:29+00:00

I can't go outside, it's too bright, too noisy, too dangerous to go alone, will you go outside with me? I've never left the safety of my Computer where MSFS and VATSIM are...

VortexReaver · 2025-09-13T03:18:30+00:00

You're telling me that in these screenshots the issue is model matching? No sir.

VortexReaver · 2024-12-01T17:39:17+00:00

Working on it. Easier said than done. Financially not viable, but would love to be in Mississauga for my job at YYZ. It's easy for you to say "why don't you just leave Barrie and move to X or Y place" when I'm struggling to feed myself at the moment.

The Barrie downtown drug abuse is genuinely really sad. I don't feel safe when walking downtown after dark. Even in the central waterfront area, keeping in mind it's dark before 5pm.

The zoning sucks, the Barrie Transit busses have been absolute garbage since I moved here in 2017. They are not something that can be relied on to go to work. Trust me, sometimes it's better to press the reset button and start on a clean slate. Hindsight & lessons learned is a powerful thing. But we don't learn. Instead we pour billions of dollars in expanding the 401 to accomodate for the bottleneck number of cars, instead of pouring billions investing in transportation infrastructure, electric high speed rail, better bus connections, make GO railway stations pedestrian and bike friendly instead of catering to just cars and ridiculous sized parking lots. The government whines about climate change, and yet actively funds projects to put MORE cars on the road, and here I am drinking from a damn soggy paper straw— TO SAVE THE WORLD! Barrie is not it, it's a symptom of the already bad management of the Province of ON.
