On behalf of the CEO and Board of Directors', welcome new member! We are glad to have you here as a new member in our growing world wide community. Joining forums can be a pretty intimidating experience, especially forums that may not be in your native language or that share your cultural norms. At AVSIM we have worked for over 18 years to make this as welcome a home as can be created for our global flight simming community. We work daily to improve that experience for everyone here. And that is why you find this welcoming forum here for you.
In order for you to participate in the New Member forum and every where else within AVSIM, you must register (see "Help Using the AVSIM Forums for some restrictions we have imposed on New Members). As an unregistered Guest, you can read nearly everything there is to read on AVSIM. In order to participate, you need to register and become a member with over 120,000 fellow enthusiasts who are also full members here. There is no cost to do so; registration is simple and totally free.
Once you register, we strongly recommend reading the "Rules and Policies" in the Tab above.
The purpose of this forum is simply to provide you, the new member, a place where new member questions are welcome and encouraged. As I said, joining forums can be intimidating and especially so to someone new to the hobby. This forum gives you the opportunity to get your feet wet one toe at a time, and where no question will be ridiculed or where you will be made to feel unwelcome for asking it.
Don't lurk. Dive in here and explore the hobby a bit while you get to know the depth and breadth of the AVSIM Community and our over 250 forums.
Again, welcome to AVSIM new member!
