Hi All
Neil, From Limerick, Ireland. For me, VFR flying is the skill to master. No auto pilot for me, just stick, rudder, and a copy of a road atlas. I would favour Airfield information / radio controlling, a lot of fun with a busy circuit / traffic pattern.
I mostly fly and control on VATSIM, I will give this a try to see how it compares
+1 for AFISO/AGO, I'll be there!

@Andrew will the voice co-ordination be like the VCCS system in use with euroscope?
also, will there be any compatibility with vStrips, as it's really good as an aerodrome controller to be able to use the procedures real-world use.
I would be happy to message you if you need any clarity.

EGLF!!!!
love the complexity of UK airspace, and definately agree with @aeroniemi that Aerodrome control is where it's at! (I prefer tower personally)
any aircraft relly, but military and any heli's/GA is my favourite really, just more fun to fly!

The UK has quite a few airports that are not within "Britain" as such, like LXGB Gibraltar, LCRA Akrotiri, EGYP Mount Pleasant, FHSH St Helena etc. What would the intended status be of these sites from a controlling perspective; would they fall under a UK division, or the local one, such as Cyprus for LCRA?
Additionally, one of the complaints i've been informed of from VATSIM is that controllers from the area around one of these fields, such as cypriot or Spanish controllers find it difficult to get approved on these positions, in part due to a different system, although I can assume other factors are present.
My assumption would be that like VATUK, you can control them, but also like VATUK, there has to be a catch, most likely a military course, with some 1-1 just to make sure it has been learnt.

One of the biggest complaints at VATUK is the speed at which training occurs. We are going to do our best to minimize these delays by keeping generic training centralized using computer-based training. Local one-on-one training will still be a major part of POSCON, but it is important for both the speed of training and standardization to maintain a generic training center that can teach students basic ATC and pilot concepts.
so like VATUK, moodle is still part of the system, but how will your 1-1 training be faster? will there be a rating transfer system?

On VATSIM, if you are part of VATUK, you are required to hold an S2 (Tower rating) and because of the military control complexities, you are required to complete a moodle course to learn the correct procedures.
