WestWind VA. WWA1926. Used to be an AHM, but went off to school, and had to step down. Keep the thing alive. Seems since Microsoft announced that they were no longer going to support MSFS that people have stopped using Vatsim. BTW, i felt bad for ya, saw another forums that you said no one replied, so I came in and did some typing.

There's a program out there called "vatspy" where you can view all the traffic in the whole world. It's pretty cool. But anyways on weekends you can find probabaly about 800+/- pilots online flying. It's still very active, and ever since the statement made by MS I haven't noticed any decrease in flights, but maybe i'm wrong...idk

Not quite sure how all this works. A few questions though:

Can I download those a/c from vatsim to MS Flight Sim X? If so, how do I go about doing that? If not, just briefly...what's needed for me to start flying a/c on vatsim?

One last question: If I'm able to fly vatsim exclusively or in conjuction with MSX, can I still use my flight Saitek flight controls to control the a/c?

Thanks!

Default Once in a while VATSIM flyer

Infrequent flyer in the northeast - N399BR. I enjoy it when I do fly virtually, which is usually just when particular centers set up events that attract a lot of other planes. Pretty realistic when they do those.
