I think many people hesitate to join and fly on-line in VATSIM simply because they don't know exactly what it is, or how to get started, and then there is the "I'm afraid of making a fool of myself" part. I think these videos help dispel many of those fears and hopefully convert them to VATSIM flyers. As you can see in the videos, I myself is a biginner and I have trouble communicationg with ATC. It is completely ok, that's how all the pros started too. I hope after watching the videos, you will get encouraged and join us in the VATSIM skies.
