  1. Hello everyone! I really appreciate the feedback. You all bring up fantastic points. I've not had many, but just the one example I listed as an "abnormal" situation on VATSIM. I totally agree that there will be abuse if you allow maydays left and right, but I should try and rephrase what I'm saying here. At least in my personal experience, I was never even brought back to an airport. I didn't scream mayday like a little girl, but the controller refused. There was no traffic he had to maneuver for me. So either I had a bad controller or VATSIM controllers aren't trained for abnormal procedures. I don't think this would be a feature I'd use unless I really needed it. I just don't want to be told to disconnect if there was no traffic in the area and I wanted a non-emergency diversion of any kind. I think it wouldn't be so smart to let people declare engine fires in JFK every 10 minutes. All in all, I think controllers should be taught how to deal with simple abnormal procedures such as a diversion, but it should then be at discretion of the controller for anything more serious than a non-emergency diversion. Please let me know of your feedback, I really appreciate you guys! Jacob Singer.
  2. Hello everyone! This is my first post on the POSCON forums. I'd like to start with a suggestion. On legacy networks such as VATSIM and IVAO, you're prohibited from simulating an emergency, no matter how big or small it can be. I personally think that although there shouldn't be unnecessary screaming for an unrealistic emergency, I think abnormal procedures should be taken into account if you want to make this as real as it gets. I've had a small issue in which I needed to return to an airport (not an emergency) and the approach controller on VATSIM yelled at me despite having three planes (including me) in his airspace. So what do I conclude to? I think abnormal situations should be simulated in POSCON. Do you agree with me? Please vote using the poll provided. Take care! Jacob Singer.
  3. @Andrew May I ask, will the U.S. territories be included in the North American division? If not, can we have a division for it? Thank you so much! Jacob Singer.
