.... that's not the assigned check ride. People happily click YES on a Dialog box without reading. frown

Cheers!

hi luke,

gotcha... do you typically assign the same checkrides? if so, how often do they change?

on a side note, any plans to add intl charts to acars?

EHAM's charts are in there... the problem is, there is no one place to obtain international charts and finding them can be a pain!

As far as international charts - many of the ARTCC sites on VATSIM have their own chart section - found here:
http://usa-w.vatsim.net/charts/

You can also get charts from Navigraph.

German Charts here:

You can also get the official charts/NOTAMs for the whole EUROCONTROL-managed area (basically all of Europe) here:
http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadcms/eadsite/index.php.html
A free registration is required, though.

I've also added that link to the web-resources page within the pilot center yesterday.
