Well, my first go around with pilotedge was less then I was hoping for. Technical problems. Probably a year has passed now. Wanting to be a better sim pilot by learning to fly with ATC. Started with Vatsim which was and is fine, although I sometimes struggle with the audio, hearing them clearly. I have a little hearing issue, 4yrs on the flight deck launching fighter aircraft off the USS Coral Sea. So I thought I would give PE a try again. They where so kind to let me do a free trial again, awesome of them to do that. Well, I have flown 5 times in the last few days and what an awesome place to fly! My skills are such that I get brain lock but it is getting better quickly. The controller I had the first night was awesome, had a problem understanding how to idnt.. Have got that fixed to a button on my kit now, tested it tonight. Really am digging this place. Even had a female controller tonight that was a pleasure to listen too. This is a really cool place. Look forward to learning and flying on PE.

Thank you for the help and awesome place to fly!

Thanks for your service! And welcome to PE!

Welcome! May I suggest the pilot rating program and the free workshops.... Both can be found by hovering your mouse over the Pilot Center tab on the main page.

Thanks, I have found the training and have started to utilize them.

Welcome and congratulations David. I really thank you for your service to our country. That is awesome.
I also want to encourage you to get into the ratings and training program for PilotEdge. It adds a lot to the fun-factor. It is very rewarding and builds a lot of confidence. No one is as nervous to talk to ATC as I am (it's just pitiful), yet I was just able to pass my I-01 Rating and I'm telling you, if I can do it, anyone can. I struggle as a realistic sim-pilot using PilotEdge ATC and I would never be a real pilot because I would engrave the landscape with my face print. But I really enjoy flying on PilotEdge. So much so that I find myself looking forward to it every day.
There is a lot of very good videos on YouTube that explain how to go about almost all of the tests and give a lot of aviation knowledge.
I look forward to reading about your adventures and experiences on PilotEdge.
