Boston Virtual ATC (BVA) is a non-profit community of aviation enthusiasts, students, and professionals. The organization connects virtual pilots and virtual air traffic controllers through a multiplayer Microsoft Flight Simulator X server for the purposes of flight simulation and training.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Direct Connect Communities ) 〕 Unlike many other multiplayer servers running FSX,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 About FS-MultiPlayer ) 〕 BVA does not open its server to the public and restricts it to members only. Prospective users must register for membership through the BVA application process,〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Boston Virtual ATC - Apply Today ) 〕 and upon approval, may access the BVA server and non-public areas of the website. Members connect to BVA through Flight Simulator X's multiplayer functionality, and may either fly aircraft online as a pilot, or direct member-flown aircraft as an Air Traffic Controller, in an environment designed to reproduce most aspects of real-world aviation operations.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 About Us ) 〕 The BVA server is online 24 hours per day, seven days a week (including holidays), and focuses the majority of its services around Boston's General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport. However, BVA hosts numerous events in different regions of the United States, and select international destinations, on a regular basis. In July 2015, it was announced that Boston Virtual ATC would be merging with the VATSIM's Boston ARTCC, creating Boston Vitual ARTCC. ==Multiplayer== Multiplayer functionality has been included in previous releases at least as far back as Microsoft Flight Simulator 98, with gradual improvements made to each subsequent version. However, the multiplayer experience has been completely overhauled in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, offering better synchronization and graphics rendering to significantly improve realism.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Microsoft Flight Simulation – Information for Veterans ) 〕 This overhaul unveiled Flight Simulator's new "Shared Skies" feature that allows a pilot to share their cockpit with a co-pilot, instructor, and/or observer(s) in the same session.〔 〕 This opens the door to numerous customizable interactive scenarios, including orientation flights, flight instruction, real-time cockpit resource management practice, virtual airline realism, adventures, and many others.〔 While support for GameSpy-based FSX multiplayer was discontinued, communities like Boston Virtual ATC that host their own sessions are still accessible via a direct connection method that bypasses the former GameSpy-based lobby. BVA's services have not been affected by the shuttering of GameSpy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Homepage ) 〕 Boston Virtual ATC is differentiated from large, international networks such as VATSIM and IVAO in that users connect to the server without the need for any add-on clients. 〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Expectations and Requirements ) 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 How to Fly on IVAO ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boston Virtual ATC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
