Hmm just read the IVAO's regulation:
Quote:5.1.7 - At certain airports FRA's (Facility Rating Assignments) are in effect. This means that on certain main Airports ATC must have
a specific rating in order to be allowed to take a position

and here the list..

In short you may not haveing fun..pardon doing ATC except you climb their training ladder
In what way are they less regulated than SATCO, pardon VATSIM?
Were are the good old times you could have fun doing virtual ATC or flying not have to bother about ranks positions trainings and other
balasts? .... We didn't need regulation of position back then .. Everyone did what he/she feelt he/she can handle and no one complained.
It was good for everyone pilots and ATCs and most of all it was really FUN for everyone. Also when it was not perfect. Boy I loved to
manage a bunch of planes in approach as _APP in the busy times.
Could I do it? Yes. And yery well. I hardly had to put any plane into a hold also on very busy events. Did I have any ATC Rank? No. And I
didn't need it for that job at that time. No one complained. Far the opposide. They were happy that there were any controller at all. We
helped the net to grow . Europe was a dessert back then.
It was such a good time... all gone and gone
