November 11, 200421 yr Hi all,I love flying long legs on my 737-800 but sometimes i have to leave the PC for various reasons, though i would like to continue with atc all the way to the destination airport.Is there any way to leave fs2004 unattended and to have a program to respond to fs2004 atc while you are away, so youre atc services arent cancelled because you didnt respond.Many thanks n advance.Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com Armen L CholakianPMDG Sound Engineer
November 11, 200421 yr Hi Armen,what you can actually do is once you are told to contact xxx, you tune to their frequency but you do NOT contact them. They are not going to contact you either :-) and nothing is cancelledNot realistic but get help you in these loooong legs.I am not a fan of ATC but I remember seeing this tip in a forum and used it once or twice....RegardsThanosAthens, Greece =============== ...close to EBBR
November 11, 200421 yr Author Thanos,Many thanks for that info, i will give it a try!Best regards,Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com Armen L CholakianPMDG Sound Engineer
November 11, 200421 yr Commercial Member >Not realistic but get help you in these loooong legs.Thanks a lot for that info! You're sure this works when flying IFR? I knew that one could do it like this on VFR... But if it does work, it surely will come in handy with the B744 and MD11 :)Markus Markus Burkhard
November 11, 200421 yr You could also just load the flight plan mid flight or whenever you want atc again by going to flights>flight planner (or something similar). Then when you're given the option to place aircraft at departure position click no. You can then request IFR clearance from where you are.Hope it helps
November 11, 200421 yr It works like a charm. When you do contact the center, or approach they may first give you a crazy heading, but ignore them and they will then come right back and say to fly the heading you are on, and to resume own navigation.Bob

November 12, 200421 yr Author Hey Thanos,Thanks for that info... works a treat!!!Makes long flights so much more convenient !Armen at EGLLwww.veryquiet.com Armen L CholakianPMDG Sound Engineer
November 12, 200421 yr What I usally do on longer flight is that I sit by the computer until I have got the crusie altitude clerance, than I do something else meanwhile :) And when I come back I just start my descent by asking for a lower crusie altitude.CheersJohan "Whats VNAV?!?!" Adolfsson
