Hi guys,I'm new in this FS business, so i bougth MSFSX, a cheap joystick and started flying after reading some tutorials :-)So far i'm able to fly propellor craft with some degree of success (with full realism) and the ocassional big jet (with less success...) and would like to start to get flying with others.My question is, what's the best way to do it? There is of course the in-game gamespy method but i've also heard about squawkbox to interact with ATCs.What would you reccomend that i do?Regards,J

Go for Gamspy first.VATSIM and IVAO ATC via Squawkbox is for very realistic IFR where they expect you to know what you're doing.Cheers,- jahman.

What would you reccomend that i do?

If you're really interested in flying with live ATC on IVAO or VATSIM I suggest you forget about Gamspy and contact one of the virtual airlines that operates on these networks and are willing to help newbies get up and running. The only one that I have any experience with and can recommend is FlyUK , but I'm sure other forum members know of others that are good.

There is also a group with their own servers called DigitalThemePark, I'm sure 'Zoo' will jump in here, he monitors this forum.

Thank you all for the kind replies.I'm trying out Fly UK.Cheers,J
