Signing in with VATSIM

Watch the video: VATSIM and the real pilot badge

Sign in with VATSIM once and your VATSIM CID is filled in for you and confirmed: you never type it. Flights you fly on VATSIM are then recognised on your PIREPs, and you can sign in to Vaeroly with VATSIM from then on.

  1. Open your Profile and find the VATSIM card.
  2. Press Link VATSIM and sign in on VATSIM's own page.
  3. Back on your profile, the card says Linked with your CID.

If you typed a CID on your profile before, it shows as Not verified until you link. A CID can be confirmed on one Vaeroly account only: linking it on a second account moves it there, and the first account is told by email.

Sign in or sign up with VATSIM

  • On the Log in page, press Sign in with VATSIM. It opens the account your VATSIM CID is linked to.
  • No account yet? The same button creates one with the name and email from your VATSIM account. Confirm your name, agree to the Terms and the Privacy Policy, and press Create account. The usual email confirmation and the airline's or platform's approval still apply.
  • Already have an account with the same email? Vaeroly never joins accounts by email. Log in with your password (or reset it), then press Link VATSIM on your profile.
  • Two-step login still applies when you sign in with VATSIM.

Accounts made with VATSIM

An account made with VATSIM has no password at first. On your profile, press Email me a link to set a password to add one. A password lets you sign in without VATSIM, and you need it to change your email, turn on two-step login or delete the account. The ACARS app signs in through your browser, so it works with VATSIM too.

Press Unlink in the VATSIM card. Your CID is removed and you can no longer sign in with VATSIM. If VATSIM is your only way in, set a password or add a passkey first.

Changing your password, resetting it or pressing Sign out everywhere turns signing in with VATSIM off, in case someone else linked their VATSIM account. Press Link VATSIM to turn it back on. An account with no password keeps it on.

What VATSIM shares

VATSIM sends us your CID, your name and your email address, with your permission. We don't receive or keep your VATSIM password. See the Privacy Policy, "Signing in with VATSIM". Vaeroly is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by VATSIM.
