To start off, you can find the Flight Bid Center by clicking on “Flight Bid Center” on the side of the website.

From the flight booking screen, you are able to search and “book” multiple flights at one time. This also includes flights that are automatically assigned to you as well as flights that you fly from here on out. After you are ready to fly a flight that you have booked, you can click on “Dispatch Flight to ACARS” and it will assign an aircraft to your dispatch. This will also enable you to use the “Flight from VA” button in FSACARS to load flight information about your dispatch.

Searching for flights has also become easier with the new “Search Flights” page.

By using multiple variables to find a flight specific to your needs, you can get to your flight faster than ever. Please note that we are still in the process of updating out flight database to reflect flights from 2010 as well as the Star Alliance.

Getting ready for flights is also very easy.

The flight booking system will provide you with METARs for you departure and arrival airports as well as detailed information about your flight. The route that is displayed is also one that has been most commonly used on VATSIM, as according to our massive 200,000+ route database.

Something new to consider with flights is flight availability. Each flight isn’t flown seven days a week, and our system is able to reflect that. Though we are laid back about our policy to review flight availability, you can still fly a flight on a day that it isn’t scheduled to fly.

We hope you enjoy this new feature as well as other updates in the Simulated Continental website to make your experience even better. Pushing Forward into 2010.
