  1. Coming from VATSIM UK as well, I would say their ATC Training department work very hard to try and make their waiting lists as short as possible however the problem is, the amount of mentors and instructions they can actually get that are willining to train students. I’m sure everyone would rather wait and learn the best way than just be free to control without any proper training. Although waiting lists maybe long, it isn’t definitely worth the wait I would say because it just allows you to learn more from people instead of just being given an eLearning system. I know VATSIM use both eLearning and practical training which I think is very good because usually the student is requirement to complete the eLearning course then go to the practical training, this way they already know the basics for their positions before turning up and wasting crucial time when’s they could be doing practical stuff. As well as that, VATSIM have a Sweatbox server which I’m sure everyone knows about and what it does and I think that’s good because it allows mentors/instructors to focus on certain competency’s whereas say if you’re on the live network, there may not be traffic that allows the mentor/instructor to teach that competency. Which is why they use both SweatBox and live sessions as it isn’t beneficial being trained 100% on SweatBox when it isn’t real traffic a series it doesn’t really simulate what real pilots are like.
  2. Great news, I look forward to seeing many more updates!
