James, depends on where you want to be and how much online flying you want to do. Yeah, we talk a bit funny on this side of the island, especially in ATC. Our terms are a bit different (well, sometimes they are a lot different). RC4 is a good primer for ATC over here. Altlanta tends to be online more often than other TRACONs. Based on your real world location, you are going to be a bit challenged to find regular Vatsim coverage during your "normal" day. After 2200Z you can find more ATC than before. And as the sun clocks west, so does ATC coverage for the most part. Because of sponsored flyins and other events you can find a good amount of ATC at local areas. Best to check the Vatsim calender to find where the coverage will be for any given time and date for those events. There are some freeware and a payware sceneries for FS2004 KATL. Hope this helps...

Thanks Dan, Ive bought a few scenerys today. Atlanta,LAX,Bush interc.O hare and I have kennedy. All these are in range of the 800 untill i earn my right seat on the 763. With BAV the ACARS and OSP flight data recorders required the pilot to report his position to the recorder every 30-40 mins or so. So most pilots stayed on the flightdeck for the duration of the flight. This suited me as I try to do as the real guys do. If the schedule says pushback at 0315, thats when I pushed back. My long suffering cabin crew(wife and dogs and cats) will confirm my stubborn approach to my hobby. Asleep all day to fly all nite or visa versa.
Ill fly online when you guys are online! Really looking forward to it. One suggestion I might make to the bosses, is perhaps is in the charts download section for each airport would be an all in one file for each airport. Its taking a long time to pull down KATLs extensive plate list!!
Thanks again.
James
