Great to read about this initiative, Tomi  :D
Very much willing to contribute to any such plans, as I get back from holidays next week. Although,... I have just further limited my already little time available by entering in Real Life PPL theory classes, starting next week ... :) Let's see how I can contribute.

EHM-2832 Tomi:
Good for you! Wish I had the money to enroll on PPL courses myself ;D, though I just failed my IVAO-PrivatePilot theoritical yesterday >:( Good luck btw ;)
Back to topic, any amount of contribution will be great and certainly appreciated ;) My motto is, one step forward is already forward! ;)

EHM-2832 Tomi:
On August11th we've had a great joint event on IVAO by the HU-FR divisions, becoming real as a Budapest-Paris airbridge, about which one of our pilots made a wonderful record, available here: [HU-FR] IVAO Air Bridge Budapest - Paris 2013. August 11. [credits to Adam at IVAO-HU]
If I were a new pilot and saw a video like this, I'd surely want to try it out for myself ;) seeing all the planes gathering and pilots talking to ATC by all own voice.

P.S. No intention of advertising or anything behind this post, just wanted to show what we at IVAO are capable of doing :)

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
Where is that "like" button, when you really need it  ;D

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
On the other hand, I must say that for those that are still feeling insecure for stepping in to the world of experienced pilots and ATC, this may just confirm their "fears" of "I could not pull this off", or alike. For those peaple: rest asured, there are far more "quiet" areas around the world, which are very "starter friendly".
I personally had a lot of help from the Dutch Antilles (AN) division, but I'm sure there are more "friendlies" around. I expect Indonesia, and French Polynesia to be amongst those too. The Hungarian division has a tradition of being both professional, and understanding to starters, too. :)
If you are considering starting to fly online: pick a not-too-busy airport, study the charts, and connect a couple of times as an observer. Then, once you get a little feel for the lingo, connect as a pilot, and add "/RMK newbie" to your section 18 of your flightplan. You will be amazed by the amount of help you'll get from a controller :)
