Very cool. I'll have to give Squawkbox a try.

Do the people playing ATC do a good job of using proper ATC procedures?

It's been a long time since I used SquawkBox, but IIRC they actually had
to get some kind of certification to be simulated controllers - so you
can expect something reasonably representitive of the real world.

They definitely do. Some controllers there are real world
controllers, and have gone to extensive lengths to make sure they
follow real world procedures. In fact, during a tour of NCT, the real
world controllers were impressed by those demonstrating VATSIM because
they used better phraseology than the real guys.
