Heya
I am training for my PPL at Ronaldsway (Isle of Man) and also visit NS alot to listen to ATC and learn te local procedures. Also, I read a topic recently on ATC Sims and if they help in ATC training or not. Well I control on VATSIM loads at NS_TWR and thanks to that, aswell as a few people providing me with info, have helped my understanding of what goes on in the twr quite a lot, and I would say, although it doesn't require much knowledge of all the CAA manuals etc.. it does let you practice actual control proedures, and at some points be very realistic (with a little help from the FS pilots).
I may not have phrases some of that too clearly....but you guys are smart and can figure it out!!!
