I’m flying SimBrief PARIS TORONTO LFPO CYYZ. My SIMBRIEF ID and HOPPIE logo n are correctly keyed in in right places. ACCARS is working properly since I’ve access to METAR
Howevervaall connections attemps failed EGTT EISN EGGX CZQX KZBW KZOB CZYZ
VATSIM is apparently not connected to none of the world busiest airspace FIR!
Therefor my Toliss A320 ACARS is useless so frustrating indeed 
Only solution - you can take the plunge and become a controller. BTW I even can’t see you’ve connected to the network for years, when looking up the CID in the Statistics Center.
I think you misunderstand the concept: CPDLC/DataLink can only connect to ATC-stations that are
a) active on the network
and
b) are also logged on to Hoppie’s network to provide DataLink services
If you operate your DataLink capable aircraft during the regular evening hours (about 20:00 to 22:00 hours local European time) you will find that a lot of ATCOs will offer IFR clearances by DataLink (“PDC”) and lots of area controllers (“xxxxx_CTR”) have their CPDLC active. In most places that will be available above FL250 or higher only, so flying from Paris to Frankfurt will probably not make you enter CPDLC airspace.
Btw, how do you want to fly from Paris to Toronto in one go? The A320 is not capable of doing this without refuelling, if you want to carry a reasonable amount of passengers and cargo.
The Toliss A320 is the neo. It (just) has the the range to do Paris to Toronto.
But not with a sensible payload, it seems. I tried to plan it through Simbrief, but with a profitable payload it would not be possible. That’s why those airlines use the LongRange version of the A320-family.
Virtual flying doesn’t need to worry about being full of passengers.
I thought you guys were trying to simulate flights as real possible!? Arguing against it just to win the argument is quite childish.

… and you can allways check the “unlimited fuel” box.

The A320 and A320neo can and have operated scheduled and charter services across the Atlantic. This is even before you count government and corporate A320s with auxiliary fuel tanks in the cargo hold and have a range of up to 6000nm. Then there’s delivery flights. So yes it is realistic. If if a pilot is using a valid route and complying with VATSIM rules then arguing against it is quite childish.
I should add that I’m going to cross the Atlantic in my Embraer Lineage 1000 when I have a spare 8 hours and controllers will just see type E190.
