Why not fly online?
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Following some interesting observations since IVAO suspended our VA membership due to having too few active IVAO pilots, I would like to encourage those who don't fly online to have an open discussion with those who do in order to see if any more wish to try out (or return to) online flying, whether on IVAO or VATSIM.
Ask any questions you like and see whether you could be persuaded to try out something new ;)
To start I thought I'd post a link to an IVAO video and a VATSIM one which will serve as an introduction to those who are unfamiliar with this part of the hobby:
IVAO Official Promotion 1
VATSIM Tutorial video
Let us know what you think, your concerns, worries or previous experiences so we can all try and improve this situation :)

Hi Dominic
As you opened this new topic, there are two topics now regarding this discussion: yours and the one called "Online Spies". Perhaps those two can be pt together under one topic??

Hi Dom and Peter,
I think we really have a good chance to try to develop online flying by promoting, as a starting point, the initiative taken by David with the 007 event between the "4 spies"...wOf course,we would appreciate being joined by other pilots! Personally I am more a VATSIM fan than IVAO...I It is just a "technical" matter: I often have connection problems with IVAO and difficulty in setting the sound with my earphone...also, with FSC there is this continuous error message when downloadind the on line IVAO file.... which I do not know how to get rid of! although, I have to admit, I have the impression that there is more ATC on line with IVAO than VATSIM...Do Euroharmony airplanes appear as such on VATSIM (we know that it is not he case with IVAO...).
Thanks for you great job and looking forward to new developments on this subject!

One of the reasons why EHM-pilots hesitate to get online is, what you mentioned Gian: hard- and/or software problems. If one cannot overcome this first step, the second step will even cause more problems. As I mentioned during former discussions in the forum about this subject, there might be a way to deal with these and other difficulties. How? I already made a suggestion to link an experienced online flyer to a newbie. Another idea might be the founding of a Online Flight Academy, where new pilots might benefit from those who have more experience and want to spend some time supervising. What important is to know, if there's a need of such a flightschool. I really have no idea how many EHM pilots, who fly on a regulare base, need help to get online! I even don't know how many of our active members read the forum messages about this subject!
If there is interest, I'm gladly willing to contribute in any way to get my fellow members online. The Euroharmony staff however should show the willingness to take the lead in this matter.

The purpose of this new topic is to concentrate on the issue of online flying and the reasons "to" or "not to" whereas the other topic is concerned with the 007 Event - that's why I started a new topic to make it obvious that this was all about online flying ;)
As to the EHM MT taking the lead Peter, as you know from previous communications there is a real issue at the moment with the amount of free time some MT members have and we have to therefore concentrate on our primary responsibilities - keeping the VA going. This is also why we advertised for someone to take the online guru role forward without results.
