VATNZ is pleased to present the following opportunity!

NEWBIE NIGHT

Ok if you've never flown online or you feel nervous around Air Traffic Control then tonight is your night.

It's a free pass, It's a night when mistakes are welcomed and nobody worries about if you don't quite make your destination.

So from 7pm NZDT NZCH_APP will be open and NZCH_TWR will be on watch as well.

Don't feel put off if you have any question's once connected just feel free to ask. The point of tonight is for participation not to be the best or worst at anything.

If tonight is successfull we will look at continuing with these nights.

So anyone who has ever thought "I would like to give this ago" What are you waiting for.

I'll be on tonight hopefully flying at NZCH so I should be able to assist anyone as well.

g'day.

I tried to register (VATNZ) but had some problems. It asked for some strange number.......PID code I think it was? I think I need some help here

Cheers
Nik (ZK-TJL) :rolleyes:

Hi Nik. Before you register with VATNZ I think you have to register with VATSIM.

The place for pilots to start is the Pilot resource center, or PRC

Read through the PRC as necessary, then click the join button on that page.

Can't register with a hotmail account........

Doesn't look like I'll be coming.

(ZK-TJL) :huh:

Oh yeah, an ISP email address is required. You don't have one at all Nik?

by **ZK-TJL** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 1:15 pm

I can't remember it..........not under my name.

Cheers

Doesn't work either, only ISP.

Are you sure GMail doesn't work?

Edit. Nope it doesn't accept Gmail. Use your normal ISP email. I've never had any spam on the one I use (an Orcon address) for Vatsim and AVSIM.

Err, it didn't for me two ... or three times.

Look to see what your router is using as your user name. That's generally your ISP log in name

Gmail worked for me

You need to go to the PRC.

http://www.vatsim.net/prc/

Read through it all. BTW you need to register with both VATSIM and VATNZ.

by **ZK-MAT** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 4:59 pm

You don't have to join VATNZ in order to use Vatsim, perhaps have a read of The How To Get Set On Vatsim thread.

by **ZK-Brock** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 4:04 pm

There is another Newbie Night tonight. 7pm at Wellington. Send me a line on MSN if you'd like to try it out.
