I recently came across an informative and very fun flightsim podcast. It's called FSBreak. Hosted by Eric McClintock and friends, each podcast includes lots of interviews, reviews of flightsim products, and entertaining humor. If you love flightsim, you'll enjoy this podcast.
Podcast #34 on Sept 16th included an interview with Ian Elchitz, VATSIM Supervisor and Air Traffic Manager for the Los Angeles ARTCC. Ian talks about an event called LA Swarm, which was last weekend, but his insight into flying on VATSIM is especially helpful for simmers who have never flown online. Starting about 12 minutes into the podcast, Ian explains step-by-step what you can expect when flying online, and offer some great advice about realism settings and tips for communication with air traffic controllers. After listening to this podcast I wanted to logon to VATSIM and fly to LAX.
Yes - a big thumbs up to Ian Elchitz and all the dedicated folks at VATSIM!

Thanks for the heads up on FSBreak - it is an interesting site! A few months back I came across the pilot certification program that is discussed in the referenced podcast. Based on the contex provided from the ATC perspective, I will be revisiting the cert program again.
