Gents, this one will be in English...
Although I personally prefer voice it must be clearly understood that text it very much allowed within VATSIM, thus also in Vaccsca! I do encourage all texters to switch to voice ASAP since I'm confident that you will find voice so much better! Anyhow, texters ARE allowed and must not in any case be discriminated whatsoever.
Some tips: If you are new to online flying and if you feel that you want to start out by using text, try to connect when there is little or no traffic. Start small and ask for helt when controllers have the time to help you! Utilize the material that is available online (i.e training documents etc). Don't be afraid to use voice!! We are all newbies in the beginning!
If you as ATC experience text pilots be patient. Set up a good alias file in ASRC that will make you work so much easier!
To sum up: when using text as a pilot, don't fly when there is loads of traffic and do try voice!! As ATC, keep your head cool and don't disregard texters!
Blue skies guys!
