Is there a way to spectate other pilots to gain knowledge?

Certainly there is. You can connect to the VATSIM network as an observer and listen to the the air traffic communication while having a radar scope view in front of you.

Here are some guides which I found out quickly with Google:
- Observer's guide for ASRC
- Observer's guide for VRC

It's maybe possible to observe with EuroScope too, but didn't find a guide for it. I've personally used only ASRC.

Ok, thanks Kaltsu. I don't even have FS though, so I may need to go out and buy it.

I've had a browse around the website and checked out the "Visual Display". The sim looks quite impressive and realistic, but it also looks like there's a great amount of experience required... :roll:


EDIT: I don't suppose living in Australia will have any advantages, connection/delay wise either

I have gained quite a big in flight hours now. I have only gained my knowledge by reading the manuals alot.
I personally prefer the bombadaiar learjet, Alot easier to get into heathrow and into the parking alot more nippier than the PMDG Boeing i got.

Guys, you seriously need to get vroute.info also, It helps alot listen to the radio while flying while making planning routes alot faster

You guys should get out and do it for real :devroll:

As I said, you do not need FS for observing or if you want to concentrate on ATC work only. The pilot role naturally requires a flight simulator.

VATSIM consists of networked servers all around the world so you can just use the server which is the closest one to you.
You can check out the VATSIM server list HERE.

Are you?

[Kaltsu]

Are you?

If I told you, I would have to kill you.

[polopolo]

When my FS9 finaly works, can we make maby an little friends event?

[Roadkill]

If I told you, I would have to kill you.

Never in my life have I heard of someone killing someone after telling them that they are a pilot.

Thanks, Sydney will get me 60-80 ping

[Roadkill]

Well I won't be flying for a while because I'm decorating my room.

But when I do maybe we can organize an Argonath group flight. Looks like just me and Kaltsu at the moment. :poke:

[Hess]

I'll be buying FS 2004 soon probably (unless you guys recommend me 2006 (X) version?)

Btw, nice sig Roadkill
