January 12, 20179 yr Author What is your view on a good VA? I dunno I've only joined one lol it gets boring after a while
January 12, 20179 yr You need to make a lot of decisions before you can choose a VA or before anyone can make a recommendation for you. What aircraft do I want to fly ? What part of the world do I want to focus my flying ? Do I want to fly online or never fly online? What do I want from a VA that I can't get from flying on my own ? How much realism in flight preparation do I want ? Do I want to fly simulating real world airlines (only one, many different ones, etc) ? Do I want a VA that restricts a type of aircraft I can fly or no restrictions ? This is just a few of questions you need to ask yourself. Good Luck !! Quote
January 12, 20179 yr Author What do you want to fly and where do you want to fly? Well I fly airbus and I would want to fly in and out of the uk
January 12, 20179 yr Well I fly airbus and I would want to fly in and out of the uk British Airways Virtual is excellent. EasyJet is another option for you.

January 13, 20179 yr I dunno I've only joined one lol it gets boring after a while VAs will get boring if you don't know what to expect. Even with the suggestions made above (BA, EasyJet) you may still get bored if you don't answer the questions Vincent raised. Real-world copy or pilot driven, online or offline, etc, are important points. Platinum Airways is firmly on the pilot end of the VA spectre. We regard flight simulation as a hobby, and believe that a VA should not dictate how you enjoy your hobby. That's why we apply Open Skies: fly your mission of choice with the aircraft of choice at the time of choice. We do have a lot of flight suggestions (Destination of the Week, cargo missions, (vintage) military missions, sports missions, five hubs with a suggested flight schedules), but in the end you should be able to decide. We are offline, but several of our pilots fly via Vatsim and Ivao. Our rules: minimum 18 years of age, a first flight within 2 weeks after joining and 1 flight a month thereafter (or request LOA).
