Hi there, I been flying for a long time with the PMDG 747 IFR flights within FSX.I use the built in ATC of the FSX for the entire flight, which I must say is pretty lame.Now I now there are many Product out there that are meant for replacing the AI ATC of the FSX to a much more realistic and comprehensiveIFR ATC AI.I just don't know which one are there.I reviewed one Product under the name of Radar Contact v4.3 and it seems like a good product, however it lacks ground control and other stuff.My question is does any one can list here AI ATC Product(s) replacement for FSX which I can review and find the best match for my needs?

I recommend vatsim.... you'll have to use VatSpyhttp://www.metacraft.com/VATSpy/To see who's online but normally during evenings and weekends most major airports are staffedIf you're only looking for something offline ProFlight emulator and/or radar contact would be best.

I would recommend the product you mentioned: Radar Contact. Otherwise I second the VATSIM comment.

Let's forget VATSIM for a moment, I use VATSIM, but the main problem is that the places that I fly thereare hardly any controllers, so I do a lot of off line flying.I know RC gets many recommendation , but I would like to get other products to look at.do you know what other products are out there apart from RC?

The product I use is Proflight Emulator. It's not as popular and takes a little more work than RC but the reason I like it is because I do a lot of flying in Europe. PFE has voice sets to match just about every region of the world. If I'm flying from London to Frankfurt, for example, the controllers in London will have British accents and the controllers in Frankfurt will have German accents. The immersion factor is great. You might wnt to take a look at it. http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/

I just googled it...vox atc might be for you:http://www.voxatc.com/Home.aspx

WOW, thanks guys!!!

Wow, voice set is a big consideration even on the expense of realism.BTW - How "Robotic" does it sound if at all?the PFE how major difference do you see compared to the built in FSX ATC as far as realism?when you say takes little more work, do you mean configuring it for the 1st time or on every flight I take? do you by any chance have a URL with a review for PFE (when i googled for one all my hits are for "ProFlight Simulator" totally ignoring I put "emulator" under quotation mark)and if you also have some kind of compare chart or article or whatever link between PFE vs. RC.Appreciated much man, real help - increasing my debate though :)

Hi,I currently use EditVoicepack X, here is a link for it : http://www.editvoicepack.com/It replaces the current boring ATC with a professional manner, such as where for example Center go contact Approach on 120 POINT 95 it replaces it with 120 DECIMAL 95. Here is a tutorial - http://www.editvoicepack.com/Tutorial/CreateModificationTutorial.htmlHope this helps!Josh

"point" is proper in the US :(

I figured, but you made it sound like default ATC was wrong in all areas :(

If you are interested I have additional modifications for editvoicepack in the library. Which will add winds to landing clearances, and expected flight levels for Clearance Delivery. I also did a couple of unreleased (As yet) Mods that will add speed reductions to approach and tower clearance. Unfortunately I had to hard code these to 180 and 160 kts respectively because I can't make the response instruction always match. Also one that will add a welcome to the destination airport on tower hand off to ground, like I've heard on VATSIM videos many times.To find my Mods search "EditVoicepack ATC" in the FSX/Sounds library.

Voices is one thing, but how would it resolve the stupidity of the FSX built in ATC ?e.g. *batted like a tennis ball between a pair of controllers.*the dreaded “sawtooth” vectors to final.*You are typically cleared to the next step up a thousand feet or more before reaching the current assigned altitude, vice the brinksmanship that is common in FS ATC.*other more realistic procedures support that virtually does not exist in FS ATC.

I don't think it does that - RC or Pro flight emulator is what you want in that case.BTW, your avatar is funny teehee! :(
