  9. Hi All, Under Section 13 of the VATPAC Constitution, I hereby announce the next Town Hall Meeting will occur on 17th May 2020. Time: 17MAY20 - 0500z, 1300 AWST, 1430 ACST, 1500 AEST Location: VATPAC Discord (discord.vatpac.org to register your account/join) Agenda: Call to Order / Welcome Board to present 2020 plan Questions to the board If you have any questions you'd like to ask in advance, you can email them to [email protected]. Alternatively, you are encouraged to ask them on the day. Questions and answers will be minuted and made available for public viewing after the Town Hall for those who cannot attend.
  10. Which server do I connect to? VATSPY has an inbuilt function to test your Ping to VATSIM Servers. If you don't have VATSPY, you can download it here http://www1.metacraft.com/VATSpy/. You can download updated data for VATSPY here https://github.com/vatsimnetwork/vatspy-data-project Once in VATSPY, go to the Network Servers Tab. Then click on each server button under the Ping column. Your ping will display on the right as shown in the image below. Changing your server To change your server on vPilot > Go into Settings > Network and Change your VATSIM Server in the drop down. In vATIS> Once on your selected profile, Click Control S > Server drop down Euroscope > In your connect window > Server > Xpilot > Click Settings > General > VATSIM Server dropdown
  11. Hi All, I've just been informed by VATSIM I.T that the Sydney Server is being permanently shut down after all users currently connected have completed their sessions. It is also refusing new connections at this time. This means you will need to use an alternative server to connect to the VATSIM Network. The closest server which should give you the best ping will be Singapore. I apologise for the late notice, however, we didn't know of this change prior to it occurring.
