There are several such applications, and all are free. Clients are available for P3D, X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020), FSX and FS9 across several operating systems. These applications also enable you to communicate with ATC and other aircraft. To do this, a headset with microphone is very useful, but not required. Text communication is always available. There is extensive information and help for all pilot clients in the VATSIM Forums.
There are a great many other users, both pilots and ATC, logged on to the VATSIM network at any given time. Before you fly online, you are expected to first become familiar with the various aspects of VATSIM such as:
