Note:

We would like to thank Ton Out very much for all the years spending time and help here and beeing a friend in this fantastic team.

Dear friend,

Let me welcome you to VATSIM's European Division. I hope you will find everything you need inside this website.

The main purpose of our Division is to organize and coordinate all virtual air traffic control services within Europe, except Russia and UK, using ASRC. In addition, we provide all the necessary training you need, so that you can become a competent virtual air traffic controller, and we are also starting to provide training for pilots.

We have a complex organization and a fantastic team.

Creating our simulated world is not an easy task, and our biggest challenge is probably to manage a large group of people with different skills, nationalities and motivations, and make them work and learn together. That is why my staff members are the most dedicated people I have ever known, and they are here to help you.

Best regards,

Peter Ingerslev Nielsen / VATEUD1
VATSIM Europe Division Director

03 Jul 06 : New SquawkBox version 3.1.0 has been released.

Check download on SB3's homepage: www.squawkbox.ca

Over the past several years, virtual traffic volume has grown tremendously. However it is still very scattered, random and unreliable. To practice ATC efficiently there's no replacement for controlling under the critique of a knowledgeable mentor or instructor, so the members of VATSIM's Boston ARTCC suggested a program to simulate traffic.
To implement that idea Chris Serio has come up with the ACSim, also known as the “Sweatbox”. The ACSim (short for AirCraft Simulator) is a program that connects to a stand-alone VATSIM server and allows an instructor to set up and control any number of IFR and/or VFR aircraft. The student connects to the same server using the usual VATSIM controller software and controls the “simulated simulated aircraft” in scenarios presented by the instructor. VATSIM will be bringing the ACSim server online in March 2006, and ACSim will be made available to regional, divisional and subdivisional staff to implement in local training programs as they consider appropriate. Members will be informed of local arrangements by their divisional staff and instructors. Further information can be found here .

12 Dec 05: Announcing the release of XSquawkBox, and its approval for use on the VATSIM network.

Developed by Ben Supnik, XSquawkBox is a plug in for the X-Plane flight simulator (versions 6, 7 and 8), allowing users to fly on-line in X-Plane.

XSB for VATSIM features:
- Integrated voice
- Automatic voice room tuning with the com1 frequency
- Weather from VATSIM
- Integrated UI: the plug in appears entirely within the flight sim
- Easy installation: install the plug in and a new menu appears for XSquawkBox - no other apps to start or clutter
- Minimal UI: where possible things like transponder and radio tuning are done with the real x-plane panel and not a separate UI
- CSL: XSquawkBox has a CSL format for adding additional models to XSB's vocabulary

XSB is available at: http://www.xsquawkbox.net/xsb/
