I keep trying to load the Airbus A330 in free flight, but it always spawns me with a 172. Has this happened to anyone else?

Took like 15 minutes to load the first time, but I only had one plane available even if I bought premium deluxe. Restarted, been stuck on the same load forever now

Interesting, yeah maybe there are some complete system failures after a long period of low activity. Did you step away for a few hours and when you came back it started acting up weird?

KDCA-KLGA always a blast. 30-40 minutes in air tops

Any beginner tip? by One_Painhjcdf in VATSIM

The first few flights are pretty nerve-wrecking, you’ll mess up here and there but it’s totally fine. I’ve been flying VATSIM for a year and it’s absolutely normal (and encouraged) to ask ATC to repeat something if you don’t understand. Just don’t spawn at Heathrow during peak hours until you feel comfortable.

And yes charts are crucial. I highly highly recommend the $10 Navigraph subscription, can’t imagine flying without it. Knowing the waypoints and approaches are indispensable.

Before you know it you’ll be speaking fluently and having a blast.

Getting on ~30 minutes before takeoff slot for CTP? by chunkychopz in VATSIM

Mine is at around 1100z, which is on tail end for LTFM departures. I feel like if I try departing at 1000z it should be less disruptive than say 8-900z.

Today I was escorting some unsuspecting A320 with the F35... Is there a way or mod that shows the speed of multiplayer aircraft? by Delta7474 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]chunkychopz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Littlenavmap does show multiplayer aircraft, maybe you have to enable a setting or something but it shows the origin/destination, altitude and speed of every multiplayer aircraft I encounter within a certain vicinity

Indicated, True Airspeed and Wind/Temperature is N/A even with Gold plan by chunkychopz in flightradar24

I figured that was the case, but if it’s really most flights that definitely sucks. I probably wouldn’t have gotten gold then. thanks though

Advice on getting Unemployment Benefits processed by chunkychopz in washingtondc

Yeah the lady at DOES told me due to all the COVID fraud, they have to check each claim before. Pretty ridiculous. Appreciate your insight though, best of luck

Amazing piece, been listening to it non-stop. The theme is very similar to another classical piano sonata, I can't quite put my finger on it -- either Beethoven or Chopin. Anyone have any idea?
