Why else do you have a brain?!?! :P - You have to look at the weather en-route etc, then do some maths, which include complicated division to get the fuel your going to need... I do it that way because it's more accurate than the fuel planners you can find online.

It's really hard to explain how to do it and it's not easy to do it!

Just use a fuel planner until you work out how to calculate fuel? :S (I really cannot explain because it's just weird lmao, I figured it out myself one night! :P)

Yet again, your not exactly fantastic :eusa_wall - People can attend new pilots nights on VATSIM - So he has plenty of time to get used to "pilot talk"... You need to stop telling people what they can and cannot do, if they wish to give it a go then so be it - Everybody was new once.

1) No you don't need to be mega fantastic, but what they do expect is that you have knowlage of the aircraft your flying - They expect you to know how to use the FMC if your flying a jet *cough* - They do expect you to have charts for airfields that you fly to so you can navigate your way around.. But you don't need to be a fantastic pilot, just have common sense, a good idea of what your doing and you'll learn soon enough, there are new pilots nights which you can attend and VATUK also has pilot mentors.

2) Thats the whole point of VATSIM, to recieve ATC and/or give ATC services. If you give the VATSIM PRC a read through, it will teach you some basic phraseology which is enough to start with. http://www.vatsim.net/prc (PRC = Pilot Resource Centre) - You can always PM me or add me to MSN if you need to know more.

3) Thomson Virtual is a good airline (http://www.thomsonvirtual.com) and they have a fantastic training department if you need help! :)

Hope that helps :D
