VATSIM also simulates air traffic control in this virtual world, creating the ultimate as-real-as-it-gets experience for you, the virtual aviation enthusiast. The VUSN operated on VATSIM for 20-years, but moved primarily to DCS for combat operations. VUSN is once again going to return to VATSIM, however, not as a VSOA member. VATSIM does allow anyone to fly military aircraft on the network, as designated on a filed flight plan with separate departure and destination locations. None of the privileges mentioned below will be allowed by VUSN pilots, as the VUSN is not a member of the VSOA.
