Camden Bruno Share Posted September 8, 2017 In late October, VATSIM hosts Cross The Pond Eastbound, the annual flight across the Atlantic Ocean from North America to Europe. Voting for Cross the Pond (CTP) Eastbound 2017 airfields is now open! Be sure to vote for Boston Logan (BOS). Login at http://ctp.vatsim.net and click 'Airfield Voting' to do so. You are only allowed to select one departure field and one arrival field, so choose wisely! We have been selected for many years in the past as a CTP Eastbound departure field, so hopefully that will be the case this year. Voting closes on Thursday, September 14th at 2359z. Please keep an eye on this thread for more information as the event draws closer. Thank you for voting BOS! Cam Bruno (BN) Community Manager Link to comment
Szymon Puzdrowski Share Posted September 9, 2017 Alright, I figured it out. For anybody else having issues: you can't just open the URL they give you on the home page, you have to click "Login" first ... Their redirect to a login page (if you're not logged in) doesn't work.

Their redirect to a login page (if you're not logged in) doesn't work. Happened to me too. I logged in like you said, and it then worked fine. Link to comment
