Typing this letter here as the contact link at the VOX website comes up with a server error type message after I clicked 'submit'. Bloody maddening I tell you.So it was about 2 questions:1/ Concerning the 'arrival menu' it is written in the documentation: 'When being vectored to an approach or after being cleared for a non-vectored approach the ArrivalOptions Menu is available. From this you can select to request any of the approaches available atthe destination airport.'Does this mean that I can select an NDB approach at an airport that also has ILS approaches available? How does VOXATC know about which published procedures exist at any given airport?2/ Concerning traffic: is the generated traffic generated randomly using the installed aircraft (thereby having a mixture of liveries at any given airport) or it uses the installed flightplans? The reason I am asking is that I do not want to have aircraft with illfitting liveries appear at the airports I am flying from. Are UT2 flightplans and installed aircraft taken into account also when generating the traffic? What does it mean in the features list that 'one can set customized levels of traffic for each airspace type'?Thank you for your kind answers,Alex

To answer your questions:You can select to request any approach available at your destination airport that is defined in the airport scenery facilities data. After being handed over to approach control, tune to the approach frequency and before calling approach, press the zero '0' key to bring up the options menu. The available approaches will be listed for you and you can select the approach you want. After selecting the approach, you will be prompted to make contact and request that approach from ATC. If you selected a beacon (NDB or VOR) approach, you will be cleared to it and expected to hold. You will then receive further instructions clearing you out of the hold for the approach.For other types of approach you will simply be cleared for the approach and VoxATC will expect you to fly it as published, you will get no further instructions for the approach. As you approach the runway you will be handed over to the tower for landing clearance.The traffic is generated using any installed traffic aircraft and flight plans. You should get the correct airlines for the airport you are currently at. The schedule data is not used though.UT2 uses a different format for its flight plan data (no traffic bgls). As far as I know it can't be used with VoxATC X.

Thank you for the comprehensive answer - I appreciate it. I did not realize FSX contained all the detailed approach data in the scenery files but as you mentioned I checked out with ADE and they are truly there. Most impressive and I do not know how I missed it so far :( Up to your knowledge is VOX the only ATC software that makes use of this? As I have seen even the missed approaches are defined in the scenery together with the holding fixes etc. so the any ATC program could even vector you throughout all these. Can it be that the vectoring was following these defined approaches I just did not realize this? Does even the stock ATC use the published approach procedures - I do not recall being able to select one.Sorry if I sound stupid but it is a great revelation for me.Which traffic package do you use with VOX?Thanks,Alex
