FSX and the Microsoft® Flight Simulator X for Pilots: Real-World Training book, have no built-in lessons or missions about virtual airlines and online flying.
Since VATSIM and IVAO, are two of the largest online, multiplayer flight sim networks you might want to try. It is a great place to meet other pilots who can use the multiplayer system built into FSX and previous versions of Flight Simulator. VATSIM is the largest network, with more than 110,000 registered members. Therefore, we'll use it in the following examples; IVAO and other such systems operate similarly.
Virtual pilot networks use proprietary software that runs alongside the flight simulator (usually MSFS, but some software can work with other flight simulators). FSX pilots are encouraged to use ar free product called FSInn. FSInn runs as an add-on to FSX to provide a connection to VATSIM.
The website of each organization has instructions for downloading and using the particular software. In each case the software is free and is thoroughly checked to ensure it won't corrupt most computer systems or allow hackers to gain access to your computer:
Multiplayer Networks
- VATSIM : Virtual Air Traffic Simulation network
- IVAO : International Virtual Aviation Organisation; Limited Options
- FSX SE : FSX Steam Edition
Virtual Airlines
- VA-List : Virtual Airlines List
Note: This mission is a copy of the Chap_BC2_Line_Check mission and has been created to provide access to the additional documentation of the book, within the FSX Mission environment.
