Far East and Quite Long [2007-02-24 VATSIM]
EHM-0654 Murray:
Nay probs Matt, it was nothing EHM official (the one on the 24th will be though).
What follows is personal opinion only of the VATSIM pilot client software
OK, having now done a flight on VATSIM...
Both of the VATSIM pilot clients are very complex compared to IVAP (the IVAO pilot client software), BUT...
FSInn has a very similar "feel" to IVAP (even though it does *way* more). Squawkbox 3 looks and feels "old fashioned" compared to both FSInn and IVAP.
EHM-1883 Matt:
What we need is, a network with IVAO's Software, and Vatsim's traffic
EHM-0695 Scott:
Hmm... I find I like the simplicity of squawkbox.... ivap seems to contain plenty of garbage that although technically sound doesnt make hill of beans difference in Flight Simulator. I find myself loaded and flightplan filed much faster with VATSIM/SB rather than IVAO/Ivap. Of course I've been a SB user since the SATCO days. Aside from the political turmoil that scarred VATSIM years ago, I've had more enjoyment with that organization as opposed to IVAO.
So much for a quick reply.... riddled with opinions I suppose I'm still on the fence. I like both networks and I dislike both networks ;D
EHM-0654 Murray:
Just to make things totally clear, I really like FSCoPilot/FSInn (there are a few things in it that I'd love to see in IVAP - integrated voice for a start, but the quality of VVL is mediocre at best), but I don't like the general atmosphere on VATSIM (particularly in the UK...)
Having said that, my flight to Singapore yesterday felt like an IVAO flight, so maybe I'm "tarring the network with a single VACC brush"...
EHM-1883 Matt:
I just hate the Models in Vatsim. all this VIP if you don't have the plane. MTL is much better.
