Greetings all!

Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd make a hello post! I'm 34, a Brit, been simming since FS98, not so seriously back in the day, but take it more seriously now. I'm currently saving to upgrade my RIG so I can get in on that FS2020 magic.
I have an Hours flight time in real life, and hope to continue having lessons this summer. I have clocked 1 hour in a Robin DR200 from EGSR in the UK. I am hungry to get back into the sky for real! 

I have some questions about VATSIM, I'd like to start using real ATC from these great Virtual aviation lovers... Anyone give me a like, little run down of the training process for it? do you have to learn before you go in or is there a "server" for learners too? also do people still VATSIM/any other ATC service on FSX? Until I upgrade I'm stuck with the steam edition of FSX to play with, and Xplane11.

Worth starting of that way!

You're probably right about that one! I shall start there! 
I've also heard about Pilotedge, though not done as much looking into it. which ATC system do you all think is best?
Thanks for the welcome!

PilotEdge is limited in coverage (Western USA) and is subscription based and much more advance. I would not start with them. They are less 'forgiving' with mistakes. I would start with VATSIM...
