Sorry. I dont quite hear your voice. Maybe turn it up a bit for yt video.

Tower View scares me couse my taxing is bad

Contact ground on 121.8, Have a good night.

Nice vid got my exam Friday edit: S1

Minor point from an LGW based pilot, we don't contact Director on departure, that is just for arrivals. On departure we contact London CTL on various frequencies, depending on the SID.

Reeeeeaaly love the live view of the airport. Make it more realistic!

When you hand planes off to Unicom, you can sid trigger them on vStrips, this will clear the scratchpads etc for you.

Hi…how did you setup and got the tower view??

wow that was so interesing to watch. Thank you for that, i will probably join vatsim!

Great video! I want to join vatsim but I'm currently running on a rubbish laptop and saving up for a gaming PC.

Name of the apps please?

gatwick ground fighting for his life💀

This is Lufthansa 400 requesting push

27:53 hollyy...

What's days/times do you control gatwick? I'd love to fly in sometime when you're online!

22:04 easyjet came in hot

nice video. would love to see you as a tower controller with a more congested airspace and more radio calls!

when are u controlling next time?

Thank you for still providing your high quality service at Gatwick, been on the network 4 years but sadly have to avoid gatwick if i dont want to deal with pilots who dont know how to fly their planes 😂

fake

when are u online in vatsim?

there is a defualt plugin which adds a cricle to the plane which is speaking really helps

thanks for the video

Hello. I was just wondering how I could set up tower view for myself. All other tutorials are outdated.

Am relatively new to Vatsim, but already made my first experiences and saw some stuff that should be avoided. Like at Gatwick specifically there is this tendency to only man Ground and not Tower. I had a near hit because of this. Some doofus didn't monitor Unicom properly, missed my consecutive calls for approach and managed to roll onto the active right as I was on short final in low visibility. I only heard his announcement of take-off and had to tell him to abort immidiately. Luckily Gatwick has a displaced threshhold and he was still at the upper end of that, so I could just land past him without having to go around. Ground was manned, but not Tower. Aircraft can find their way around an airport without a ground controller, but self seperation and managing start and landings when there is just one active runway when ceiling is below 1000feet is a different story. When an airport is IFR and a controller is at the airport they should man at least Tower if not even Approach and not just Ground.

how long were you on the waiting list before you became a gnd controller at gatwick? I applied the other day but it said 6-12 month waiting list

i think you made a typo for this vid, its meant to be pt.3

I was at hannover on vatsim and the whole time I could hear gatwick ground for some reason even tho I wasnt on frequency + I was at hannover. 24 minutes into it and im on the runway about to takeoff but decide to restart the sim to try and sort the issue. Well, what do you know I find out this video was playing in the background 😭

Tried to learn this stuff to become a controller for ZOB but just wasn't cut out for it. I couldn't cross-reference the LOAs to ensure IFR filings were correct. Takes a lotta skill to do this kind of stuff- crazy some of us just do it for a hobby

You sound very British...

So many people that have no idea what they are doing, I feel bad for you controllers 😂

could it be that the lighting of the aircraft is not reproduced correctly? Or does every second pilot taxi on the taxiway with landing and strobe lights?

Love from Mumbai,India

Figured something was not working on Vatsim when I couldn't hear Approach the other day😅

why do yall ask for our stand number when you could see it?

gatwick is my home hub but i cant find myself in any of the videos

Any chance you can up the bitrate enought to record in 1440p at all? As it help with clarity on the text and maps/information? Good job again.

I'd be "GNPPP, sqauk FRAQOFF, via the Never Come Back Departure" lol

Nice job I could never do this, I be swearing at them all, all the different mic's, quality, mistakes and what not - thank goodness there are those that can. :)

Hey again! Do you have a discord channel by any chance?

Hello, I have a question about VATSIM, so long story short Iam starting with VATSIM as a heli VFR, Iam trying to find a airport where there is a GROUND, TOWER and ATIS atc, is Gatwick airport good for someone whos starting? (BTW sorry if my words dont make sense english is not my first language)

Hello i like this alot i have only really seen pilots pov this is fun to see

Hello! Ive been flying in MSFS for some time now and mostly out of Gatwick, so thank you very much for your ATC service! One question, I would like to also help with ground atc at Gatwick, how can I get started? The process seems very vague and I would really appreciate if you could point me in the right direction

I hope you dont mind me asking, but whats your name on VATSIM so I know when its you controlling? Thank you.

as ATC you need to have a mic, even if it says that you can control without one its always your duty to supply the pilots with good communications, so having a mic is vital.

Is that xplane 12 for the tower view or msfs 2020? Great video .

this is sick!!! why cant we see the planes actually taxing?

14:39 Thanks for the ATC. Osprey 206A 🫡

Loving your videos, as I am sure you know ;) BAW983 here - I use Gatwick on almost a daily basis. Please can you let me know what days and times you are normally on controlling? Thank you!
