--- INFO ---
In this video, I will show you how you can set up your cockpit in such way as to fly more comfortable on the VATSIM network. Most important lesson is: learn how to set a PTT key on your joystick, and other keys including autopilot disconnect, autothrottle disconnect, and a separate keyboard to control various functions of the virtual cockpit using your home cockpit. Additionally, setting up your headset is VERY important, and MAKE SURE you sound well over the VATSIM radios!

--- WHAT IS VATSIM? ---
VATSIM is an online flying network where people from all around the world can fly all over the world using their flight simulator. Pilots are guided by people who act as air traffic controllers. Pilots and controllers use real world aviation procedures and phraseology to simulate aviation with a high degree of realism.
