Nope, I don't have time, and I like to avoid long periods of time on the computer whenever possible. Except to complain about stuff on here. haha

I am kind of curious about this as well... I log on to Vatsim every now and then, but does UND resnet allow for these connections? I am going to be a freshman in the Fall...

I used VATSIM occassionally (spelling? jeeze, I can't spell worth #### right now) for 222 to get practice with the entire procedure...radios, when to descend, etc. I highly recommend using it as it will aid in your understanding of the IFR environment.

There are a couple of ATC guys at UND who control MSP or Chicago center that you can work with when flying approaches in and out of GFK.

FS2004, you would need to download Squawkbox. (www.squawkbox.ca)

For FSX, a lot of people are using FSINN, which was origionally(?) designed for FS2004. I hear it kind of sucks though. I don't do Flight Sim enough to make learning how to use FSINN worth while.
