Online Flight Question

Is there a way to do an online flight (as in an online session with others flying) with the normal ATC? I know I did it with MSN zone, but it did not have ATC.

Also, on a normal flight, is there a way to keep the ATC window from popping up every 5 mins?

yes - shut down AI traffic and don't change your position so you don't need to be handed over to another center/approach Smile

Go into SETTINGS - AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL - un-check AUTO OPEN ATC WINDOW.

ATC window is then controlled by the ' key

YES. There two networks that manage online flying with live ATC. Go to:

www.ivao.org
www.vatsim.net

You need to download and install squwakbox in order to connect. It is easy and free.

If you don't fly on ivao or vatsim.......you are not really flying!
