VATSIM group flights

Watch the video: Events, tours and leagues

On an event page, On VATSIM now shows who of the pilots signed up is on VATSIM, from two hours before the event starts until it ends. Staff can also make an event count only when it is flown on VATSIM.

The line-up

For each pilot signed up, the event page shows:

1. Callsign: the callsign of their booking for the event, or "not booked yet".
2. VATSIM: connected or not. A pilot needs their VATSIM CID on their profile to show as connected.
3. Flight plan: filed for the event's airports, filed for other airports, or none filed.
4. Where: at the gate, taxiing, airborne or landed.

VATSIM's public data is read about once a minute. When it can't be read, the page says so instead of showing everyone as not connected.

Must be flown on VATSIM

Staff tick Must be flown on VATSIM when they create or edit an event (Staff › Community › Events). The event bonus then goes only to flights seen on VATSIM for your airline's online share of the flight (Scoring, 70% unless changed).

• The share is of the checks VATSIM answered, so a feed a minute behind or down for a while doesn't take the bonus away.
• When VATSIM couldn't be checked at all on the flight, the PIREP goes to staff, who can add the bonus.
• Connect with your booking's callsign: a different callsign isn't counted as online.

Privacy

Only the booking's callsign shows, never a VATSIM name or CID. If you hide your flights from live maps (Profile), other pilots see you as hidden in the line-up; you and staff still see your row.
