Well, when I went to IVAO, they say their goal is to have the best complex but easy online flying system. I thought their goal was to stuff as many PDF files as possible, and confuse you!
But, I have done 2 flights and I have already remebered the whole lot of stuff you need to say (I still have trouble with sqauwks. I really want to say "Sqauwking 1254) Everyone on IVAO is willing to help, and if you do come across someone nasty in ATC, ask on Unicom. If their nasty on Unicom (which they shouldn't be, as there's alot more people on unicom then ATC). I just hope you don't come into a bad situation like I did once. Here is how it went:
ATC: EHM1883, switch to EGLL_N_TWR
(I then switched)
Me: EGLL_N_TWR, EHM1883 with you, at FL300
ATC: Hello Matthew I haven't seen you in a long time. Hows your half term?
Me: What? How did you know me?
ATC: I'm your chemistry teacher.
I paused then, and then looked at IVAE, then map, and it was her!
At least I know that my chemistry teacher has other hobbies. I don't look forward at seeing her tomorrow.
