Well, I just signed up for VATSim. I eventually got it to connect, but then I disconnected it again. I hesitate to make contact. I am fairly anti-social in real life. So I shut it down to avoid doing something wrong and ruining my IP addresses' reputation at VATSim.
I'd like to make casual contact first, maybe sitting in my plane on the ground listening to other traffic. (if there are vatsim planes in AK?) I don't yet know how to use the interface (FSInn). Well, I know a little bit. Tomorrow should be better. It will eventually all come together.
