I know my way around south of EDDF and EDFE and would like to practice approaches from SOUTH to either one of them.
To me this would be nice and challenging if I could simulate together with you guys flying into the airspace and navigate to my destination using COMMS.

Thanks for the flowers - that helps a lot after all the problems and stupid words - especially from those little kids that always forget to switch on their brain prior to operate there big mouth.
In general I have no problems with CONTROLLED VFR-flights. Problems I see are:
1. Using COMMS: we use SIDs + STARs from https://vatsim-germany.org/pilots/aerodromes/EDDF - or vectors given by ATC (may be supported by way-points (VOR, ILS, ADF). Those may be used different in STAR/SID and COMMS. There I would see the biggest problem - because I would not like to display as well SID/STAR as also COMMS on my radars - that is overcrowded already with all the details shown.
2. I dislike the use off EDFE! Because I have already 4 Runways in use mixed with IFR and Visual approaches - and in days with a lot of traffic (and most pilots not yet using mumble) the workload would grow unmanageable. But we could separate by using 07L/25R for your small/slow planes.
3. I strongly recommend to use mumble - because VFR usually needs a lot more communication! And especially more typing-needs would hamper the operation !! (MUMBLE is: flightgear-radio.autosoft.fr port 64738) -> for installation see: http://www.emmerich-j.de/mumble/mumble.html.
So I guess we could satisfy/support VFR procedures.
Thanks for your interest in EDDF-Triangle.
