VATSIM Monitor with the flyout open

Features

  • Quickly see how many people are online.
  • Monitor any number of callsigns. VATSIM Monitor will show a green light when anyone is online with a callsign starting with the specified string. You can configure any number of callsigns to watch, and you can choose whether to include ATC, ATC observers and pilots when monitoring. A list of the people online starting with that callsign is shown when you hover the mouse over the callsign.
  • A list of all ATC and pilots currently online is shown in the flyout. Click any ATC or pilot to show details such as ATIS message or flight plan. A link to Google Maps shows the position of that client.
  • Use the flyout to quickly get METAR (aviation routine weather report) information for any airport.
