European ATC

Featured Replies

Hi RC-Team,I enjoy to fly by Your RC-ATC very much (I use it with "Meatwater's" excellent sound set - thanks also to him !). :( RC is by far more realistic, then the default FSX-ATC. I just noticed some little differences to the real european ATC :1. After Take-Off the Tower don't advices the pilot to contact Departure. The pilot contact Departure just after Take-Off without any instuction by Tower.2. The word "to" (descend to 3000) should not be used, to avoid misakes.3. For heading-instructions, it would be useful to say right or left heading.As You just working at the new version, may be You can take those changes for european ATC at RC 5 (as real as it gets). :( Best Regards Dietmar

Sorry John, but that was a little missunderstanding :( ; my system works well.What I mean is, that in real life the tower doesn't advise the pilots to contact departure, and I just would like to find that in RCv5.RegardsDietmar

i asked my atc team, and in europe, there are rare occasions where you may not be told to contact departure (lfpg, duseldorf, ), but the overwhelming majority of the departures, tower tells you to contact departure.and on one of the other items you mentioned, i was corrected by my team, that if you listen carefully, you are told to "...descend TO altitude 4000..." which is perfectly acceptable. since the word "altitude" is between "TO" and the "4000"are you not hearing "altitude" in your clearances?jd

O.k., it seems there are differerent procedures. Unfortunately (or should I better say fortunately), I go to holidays this night. When I'm back, I'll find out, if I can hear the "altitude" in RC and try to get more information about contacting departure. So please be a little bit patient.Dietmar
