Repeated traffic warnings

Featured Replies

I've been trying the new version 6.04 of VoxATC, and I terminated my very first flight after continuous repetition of traffic warnings for the same AI aircraft, which was flying in the same direction as my own aircraft and was only slightly faster, so the separation between the two was increasing only very slowly. Having acknowledged the first warning, I found it very irritating to be bombarded with further warnings about the same aircraft, and I gave up after 12 repetitions in quick succession. Can this behaviour be changed, or is it a fixed feature of VoxATC?Thanks for any information,Dugald

I can only offer you a workaround so far.Try the FO feature of VoxATC for such repeated messages until they fade out. You can define a key or button to enable the FO and he then answers the warnings every time. So you don't get distracted or annoyed by the constant need for a (voiced) answer.I think that the traffic separation limit is a fixed value and therefor triggers the warnings until that other aircraft and you are separated far enough. I never had this on my current flights but I once heard that VoxATC warned the AI pilots about themselves for 5 or 6 times or so. As said, this only happened once until now.

Hmm, that's a good one. Maybe a newer version would only issue repeated warnings if same aircraft were only getting closer. That way if the bogey were even slowly pulling away, no needless nagging.But if/until that happens, I'd just tick back my throttle a notch until the offender was out of range and resume my jaunt.Thanks for the heads up....

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out when the need arises, but the problem hasn't occurred again, so far.Dugald
