Hi. Today, I decided to start flying for IYPVA, only, I think I messed up.
I browsed the virtual air section on the website, and downloaded a flight 
leaving from Berlin. I was monitoring the TTD from the website, and originally, 
I had 33 minutes. I waited until it said 00:10, because I assumed Michelle 
would start alerting me the time until we had to begin the pre-flight 
checklist. she did not, so I began all checklists at the top of the hour. 
I watched a video on the homepage of ItsYourPlane where Robert is doing the 
pre-flight checklist and begins the boarding process and the FO was doing what 
mine was not. His flight crew were very clearly welcoming passengers onto the 
plane too. I got none of that. I’m wondering if I messed something completely 
up, or what. this flight literally felt like a regular offline private flight. 
it states on the website that when your flying for IYPVA, the acars is started 
automatically. this didn’t happen, Michelle asked me if I wanted to start it… 
frustrating stuff.

any help would be appreciated.
