  1. I am sure I speak for the VATPAC community when I say thank you to the board and the members who dedicate (unpaid) time and effort towards our VATSIM experience on this International Volunteer Day. To all the helpers, the scenery creators, the aircraft painters, the Operations staff, everyone who has put in time for others benefit.

  2. Has anyone got info on the exact location of the new NSW police Air Command facility?  I think it’s on the end of Drover Road, but not sure as it must have reclaimed a taxiway if it is.

     

    Second what is the latest version Flukey has done for YSBK?  Does it have the police facility opened last year?

    thanks.

  3. Yer, when I was VATPAC4, we put it out as a challenge to the community in order to promote togetherness and increase atc levels in the region.  I reckon a 10% atc hours for anyone is good target.

    It allows pilots to get a better idea of what happens on the other side.

    Great to see people signing up for atc Lak!  I encourage everyone to give it a go, and give a little bit of time back to our community.

  4. Tracy, I’ve applied twice with no result.  It is my understanding I don’t need to see the comments assigned against my account if I had access.

    Totally agree with that though.  We should all offer our services.

  5. When I first started at VATPAC I set myself a goal of trying to give (ATC) at least 10% of my online time.  Sadly this has lapsed over the last few years, for several reasons.

    However, after hitting the 10K pilot hours, I decided it’s time to work on getting the giving to the community back to 10%.

    So, please, if during my reintro to providing services I don’t get it right or acceptable let me know.  Only way I learn is if someone tells me where to fix it up.  VATSys looks scary, but I’ll start up Northern Australia until I get the basics on the program.  I’ve never been a high intensity controller, so let’s smile and accept people who try.

  6. I may be completely off with this, but I thought we had re-assigned CVN to be a subsector of DOS.  The charts on our Airspace pages still have CVN as a subsector of MDE.

     

    It was announced on 25 May 2018 as part of AIRAC 1806.  Did it revert back again?

  7. I setup and flew an hour before the starting time, and went to web site to confirm time date etc.  I only use the events calendar these days.  There were three events at 2300 utc, but when I again checked around 0001 utc there were just two events on the calendar. 
     

    All good, I probably keep targeting the minor events with lower attendances.

  8. 7 minutes ago, Kirk Christie said:

    Are you suggesting that people who elect to follow, promote and educate about the rules are fools?

    No, not at all.  It is a saying which I have even heard Judges say in court.

    The saying is well documented and contemporary.  It goes to the very nature of a civil society Kirk.  Heaven help the 95% of the population who have made a mistake in their lives, if the rule of law was indeed strict!

    As you mention I have always tried to assist as best I can, I am not by any means a saint, but I do agree with the Westminster system of law.  There is a huge difference between my quoted statement and Anarchy and belligerence.   Sorry we again have to disagree by the looks.
