I have a few questions for anyone willing to answer. Do the GFI's require VATSIM? If it does, I havnt had much success with setting it up, i guess i need some step by step instructions because the steps i followed on vatsim dont seem to help me much. Or i need to change my internet connections.
Also, with the Auto Gen FREQ, are the departure and arrival times given in ZULU? Or Local? I know that the FREPS will be sent in ZULU. But i just wanted to make sure i wont be flying the wrong times.
And lastly, lol, the flights that are available to me for the ATR out of JFK, i know i will be using the CRJ and ERJ routes. But using auto gen FREQ i see some long sectors that the ATR might not agree with. Should i just accept the line of flights given and then try and edit the FREQ to make up shorter routes in between?
Welcome to our little club. Alex George-john.
GFI's are the only VATSIM required flights for the AAV. I don't see a VATSIM number for you, so I assume your not a member of VATSIM ? That may the problem of not connection. We fly the GFI's and use the Teamspeak program. Even if you are not on the VATSIM network the teamspeak is separate and you could connect up and we could talk you thru some issues you may have.

Flights are flown at the local times as shown but must be filed as ZULU. See the Pilots handbook for all the answers.
You will not be able to use the autofreq and autogen for your flights as, like you said, some routes are too long. If you autofile a FREQ you cannot edit it. You will have to manually file a FREQ. See the pilots handbook for all the answers.
Again thanks for coming aboard.
