Flight Simulator

Anyone here use flight simulator ?
If so then maybe you would be interested in joining a virtual airline.

What is a virtual airline ?
A virtual airline (VA) is a dedicated hobby organization that uses flight simulation to model the operations of an ailine. Virtual Airlines generally have a presence on the Internet, similar to a real airline. It has been proposed that there are over 100 Virtual Airlines of significance currently active, with tens of thousands of participants at any one time.

So now that you know what a virtual airline is then maybe you are interested in joining one ,eh ?

Well I'm the CEO of Shamrock Air, a dedicated and genuine Irish virtual airline which operates both regional and international flights. We are only small yet we have dedicated pilots who fly for the airline each and every week. We are a close-knit organisation and welcome new pilots withe open arms.

All you need is a copy of Flight Simulator, thats it !!

So if you are interested in joining or just want to find out more then check out our official website: http://www.shamrockair.info

Happy flying !! ;)

I'd love too :)

Our Callsign is SHKXXX. The XXX is the number assigned to each pilot. We just call ATC with "Shamrock".

We have a large amount of routes some of which are below:
EIDW-EIWF
EIDW-EICK
EIDW-EGLL
EIDW-EIKY
EICK-EIKY
EGLL-EIWF
EIDW-LFPG
EIDW-BIRK
EIDW-UUEE
EIDW-CIQY

EGLL-LFPG
EGLL-LEMD

EIDL-EINN

EIKY-EICK

EINN-KJFK
EINN-EGPH
EINN-GCRR
EINN-BIRK
EINN-LEMD

They are just some of our routes. We have a dedicated Route Manager who constantly adds new routes based on Pilots requests.

Best of luck with the JC !! You'll fly through it (no pun intended :rolleyes:) !!!!!

Thats because we encourage pilots to fly online of offline if they wish. If they want to fly online on Vatsim then they are free to use their assigned callsign or any callsign they may prefer.

Yeah, I would prefer it was online but due to the number of beginner pilots we have I think it would be better to allow them to choose whether they want to fly online or not.

Anyone remember Air Ireland the VA back in 2000?

ch252

cool, sounds good. one thing that needs to be fixed(for online use) is the callsign, it cant be shamrock as that is aer lingus's.
Otherwise it looks well!

cian1500ww

Would it be ok to call ATC with "Shamrock Air" ?
Thanks Darragh.
