fs9 ATC

[Guest skyhog]

Hi Bryan, Merry Christmas,My question is: on the new update I noticed a new button on theconfig page "on ATC". To use ATC this should be sent to yes?Also, after setting to yes and prssing the 2 key for ATIS theaircraft starts to push back. What is the procedure for usingATC with FS2Crew?Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's the simple explanation:ON LINE ATC = "NO".... The FO will request pushback clearance during his Before Start flow.ON LINE ATC = "YES" .... The FO will *not* request pushback clearance. If you're departing from a parking spot and don't require pushback services, I suggest you select ON LINE ATC to "YES" even though you may not be using VATSIM, etc. Why?Because you don't need to request pushback clearance if you don't require a pushback! It would sound silly to have the FO request it.In short, the only difference between "YES" and "NO" is the audio of the FO requesting pushback clearance -that's it. In other words, a small bit of dialogue.There are no other effects on the rest of program, so don't get to stressed if you set ON LINE ATC incorrectly.In fact, I may change the term ON LINE ATC in the Config to something that offers less room for confusion.Hope that helps,Bryan
