March 24, 200422 yr Hello friendsHere is a question and thankyou for any help.I am interested in flying using vatsim, but I am not sure if its possible to fly the 737ng and use vatsim without a headset which I don't have. Is this possible????? I don't want to go to the trouble of setting up vatsim if its all to difficultregards Rob
March 24, 200422 yr Sure, you can fly on VATSIM without voice. You won't want to though. It isn't fun to be typing things to tower while on final approach.A headset can be had for $20. Why not spring for it? It is so much more real to be talking to ATC. These days on VATSIM it seems that 90+% of ATC communications are voice and not text. If all you see is the text, you're missing the vast majority of the action.BTW, 737NG and VATSIM are completely separate issues.Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)VATSIM: UAL337
March 24, 200422 yr I would'nt say that it's easy but it's very rewarding so worth the effort. Take some time learning how to use the tools correctly and just listening in can be a great help in learning the correct jargon ;)[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.
