VATSIM events at your airports

Watch the video: Sound packs and alerts

Staff › Community › Events lists the upcoming events on VATSIM that touch your airline, so you can add one as an airline event in one click instead of copying it by hand.

Which events are listed

• Events on VATSIM's public events list that start in the next two weeks.
• Only events at one of your hubs, or at an airport one of your active routes flies to or from.
• The airports of yours each event touches are shown next to its date.

VATSIM's list is read about every 30 minutes. When it can't be read, the card says so; try again a few minutes later.

Adding one

1. Press Add as airline event next to the event.
2. The Create an event form opens, filled in with the event's name, start time (UTC), the hours it runs, the airports and VATSIM's short description with a link to the event.
3. Change anything you like (the bonus points, the airports, slots), then press Create event.

Nothing is saved until you press Create event. Must be flown on VATSIM is ticked for you; untick it if offline flights should get the bonus too. An event you already added (same name and start) shows Added.

Airports

When the VATSIM event lists routes, the first route that touches your airports is used. A fly-in with one airport of yours fills in only the arrival, so flights from any airport count. You can clear either box for "any airport".

Good to know

The name and text come from VATSIM's organisers, in English. Links and formatting are removed, so only plain text is copied into your event.
