July 18, 200520 yr Hello everyone,I'm sure this question has been addressed before, (sorry my search queries didn't anwser this) but can anyone tell me who gets my flight plan when I file it from an airport without any manned ATC stations?For example in the USA, I want to fly IFR from KLAX to KSEA. There is nobody manning any of the ATC positions in KZLA airspace, however KZSE Center is manned.So my question is... does KZSE Center get a copy of this flight plan and is expecting me?? Or am I just a "pop-up" when approaching their airspace? (haven't been assigned a transponder code)And a final thought, (maybe I'm just used to the real thing in the USA) flying from an unmanned tower airport, and unable to reach center on the ground, FSS can issue a IFR clearance via radio or telephone.Is there a standard procedure for this in VATSIM?Thanks in advance!Gerry
