VFR flight question

Featured Replies

  • Moderator

Still getting used to the various things in VoxATC - so far I'm really enjoying it.If I fly VFR w/o a flight plan and select local flight - is there a way to request landing at a different airport than the one I took off from?Took off, got the request landing prompt and flew around for a bit. Wanted to land elsewhere so I tuned in the tower freq but VoxATC told me to switch back to my original freq.Is there a procedure for requesting landing at any airport w/o a flight plan?Thanx,VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpg

The earlier versions would, the present programming though is to allow for circuit flying, aka flying the pattern or touch and goes (verbage depends on where you're from). To accomplish this VoxATC will assume this is what you want to do if there is no flight plan loaded. I haven't tried it recently but on a flight plan VFR flight I have been able to tune any airport frequency and request landing, the prompter will not guide you though since this is outside the programming protocols, the voice interface though will recognize your commands. Try it with the present version and see if it still responds this way.

OK, that makes sense. I'll give it a try with a flight plan loaded and see what happens.thanx!VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpg

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. If I changed frequency to a nearby tower all I got was a message to change back - no response from VoxATC.Sure would be a nice thing for a wish list.VicQ6600 G0 CPU 2.4 o/c 3.65Evga 680i A1 with P31 BIOS 2G XP2-8500 DDR2 1066FSB Mushkin 996535 RAM 5-5-4-12-2T320G 7200 HD partitioned for XP/Vista/Programs 2 - 74G Raptors in RAID0 500G 7200 HD for backup SATA DVD burner Evga 8800GTS 640 PCIx 169.13 betaKandalf LCS case w/ built in liquid cooling 850W Thermaltake power supplyVisit the Virtual Pilot's Centerwww.flightadventures.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-supporter-sigbanner.jpg
