Is anyone on AE in a virtual airline? If so please state what one you are part of, also could someone please explain the benefits of being in a VA?

Thanks Charlie :-)

Moved to the FS forum so people know what you're talking about

And I'm in United Virtual Airlines, which forces you to follow and practice proper operating procedures before you can qualify to fly bigger aircraft for VA flights. They also provide a good amount of training materials to enable you to do that, so if you're a "serious" flight simmer it's a great community to be a part of.

Yes, if you want to be as realistic as possible, UVA provides plenty of training and help from the community. You start at the smallest class of aircraft and take checkrides to get new type ratings (6 in total) for other aircraft. For a checkride, you basically fly and record (using a provided FS addon) a prescribed flight (different for each level of checkride) and send it in to be evaluated by a check pilot, who will either approve you for the new type rating and/or give you suggestions on what you need to fix.

What do you mean by co-pilot?

[Ioh]

What do you mean by co-pilot?

I think he means fly together Nexus what happens is.

• Sign up to VA
• Pick a schedule
• Fly the schedule in FS (on your own)
• Fill in flight report

[Nexus8]

Why counldn't you fly a route together. It is more realistic after all.

[NilsOlavThePenguin]

Because ther isnt any way of doing it properly.

[Nexus8]

If you both have a mic and communicate well

[NilsOlavThePenguin]

There isnt any good way too have both of you too control the plane

[ArthurB]

There's a way to be a copilot, Nexus !!!!

But it's a little bit complicated... First, you need to buy this:
