IVAO or VATSIM ? Which one?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone! I have been flygin with VATSIM since last year. It's really fun but now it became boring. actually, I'm stuck in the UK. There is no ATC srvice in other countries. (well most of the time) for example, I wanna fly to Paris, Zurich, Athens, Istanbul. but no ATC... now wondering is IVAO better than VATSIM? which one is more crowded? which one is more fun? thanx

I believe IVAO has the majority of European users, while VATSIM is mainly in America.

I disagree, VATSIM has a significant presence in Europe as well as the world.While IVAO is mostly Europe based.

Hi,I'm not sure when exactly you are looking, but VATSIM services in Europe is a bit more then UK area alone....In fact I dare to say that for example Germany ATC is more online then UK.VATSIM Europa is dominantly Northern Europe like UK, Netherlands, Germany, Swiss, Scandinavia, etc where ICAO Europe is more focused on Southern Europe, like Begium, France, Spain, Italy....Just register with ICAO and see for yourself.

I use VATSPY to see who is online and where. Europe is really busy in their evening time and the same with the US.Not sure how you're determining what you're experiencing. Maybe it's just the time of day you're online??

-- Remove this post, wanted to edit original due to typo ---- Anway : ICAO in my original posting must of course be: IVAO... --
