On the odd occasion,
VATPAC decides that there is parts of
Australia that aren't in
VIC or
NSW, and this was such an occasion. Here we see an event with
Cairns and
Hamilton Island ATC online.
In this case I used the livery of QantasLink's "
National Breast Cancer Foundation" Dash-8
Q400 aircraft "VH-OQH"

Every air traffic controller and aircraft you hear is a real person using
VATSIM. For more information about vatsim, visit http://www.vatsim.net/ and http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/quickstart/
I use FSinn to connect to vatsim. (links below)
Matt Davies has a good tutorial on how to set up FSinn with model matching at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK7ZC8QufMI
The last time I had to install FSinn, I simply used his video as a step-by-step checklist.
Speaking of Checklists, all insets, including charts, checklists and facecam have been edited into the video using
Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11.0
During the flight, weight loadings, weather briefings and airway
SID STAR approach and ground charts were read off a second computer/monitor.
The Checklists are the same ones included in the
Majestic Software Q400 documentation that comes with the aircraft when you purchase it as a series of
.pdf files.
Charts are available for free at the airservices australia website, www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/dap/AeroProcChartsTOC
.htm
Weight loadings and fuel planning was done using PFPX.
