Fellow pilots and staff,
I was just going through my old pc and I found a tutorial for the DutchVACC on VATSIM that I put together back in '08. There were some questions about crossing the Atlantic and related procedures, so I decided to compile sort of a tutorial, albeit in Dutch. In a nutshell it covers ETOPS, MNPS, RVSM, NAT tracks/random routings, NAR/NERS, Blue Spruce routings, Meteorology and R/T. I was wondering if there is any interest in such a tutorial. I can translate it to English and perhaps update it a little.

I've been thinking about adding a 47 or 77 rating, but even if not, I have the 67 rating, and have yet to cross.
I would love to see your tutorial.
Thank you.

@Scott, I will. I will have to translate about 25 pages, so it will take couple of days
