Scince getting the NGX i really carnt use it becasue of the data i put in the FMC for VNAV and LNAV if i have fsx on IFR its taqke be on direct route and not what i have slected on the chart.But i was wondering if anyone actually uses and ATC when flying the NGX or any aircraft?

sometimes I use VOXATC but I think voices are really limited and all your traffic goes haywire.

Theres a program called fsbuild that will export flightplans for PMDG and FSX GPS, so you can load up the same route in the normal FSX flightplaner and in your 737ngx, however i n ever use FSX's ATC.

I stoped using AI ATC when I discoverd online flying. From that point on, I ONLY fly online.

Excactly! I don't see a point to fly offline (only if dont have a flat rate connection). And if you fly online, you wont need any AI ATC or artificial voices.Vatsim is the answer to your question Andy! ;)

I thought of online flying many times, but I never started since I am affraid of hardly any traffic on big airports. How big is the difference. I do not want to land in frankfurt or LA with two or three A/C standing at the apron.

I quit using MS ATC 3 years ago. I fly on line without any controllers at our VA. [Livewire] JerryF

Vasanta VATSIM its the best way to add more real feel to the sim .must of the controllers if not all are willing to help (if time and traffic allows )on your first flight to get you on your way up ..

i still use the MS ATC

Vatsim is good, Lots of traffic in europe during the day.... Especially on events. Done an event to birmingham last year and was on a hold for 1 hour due to the high amount of traffic lol

I use the default ATC.

I use PFE, it works well.

answer to original question? No. I suggest you give online flying a go. Yeah its scary first time, but you learn what to do using their tutorials, listen in or just ask a controller when they're not busy. Remember, ATC are nothing without pilots - if you think its bad enough flying online without any ATC...imagine manning the tower of a regional airport and noone lands/takes off there! :) There's nothing better than doing a gate-to-gate flight online with real ATC and other real pilots and getting it all right...its an awesome feeling.

I use it for getting clearance and a squawk code, then for taxi permission and then for takeoff, once they hand me off I just don't contact then from them on the rest of the flight and just use my own discretion.

Is anoyone using radar contact? How does it work with you? Does it control AI?
