Question about atc

Featured Replies

Ok-I hit the enter button-enter a flight plan and then nothing seems to happen.I did let the a.i. fly my aircraft and got a taste of atc. I like the voices but already saw a couple bugs (the a.i. was flying it at 4500 ft. and atc said twice to climb to 2000). I am just wondering what I am missing to try atc out-I could find little about it in the instructions-unless I completely missed it...

Yes, this was a mystery for me too. There was some ATC when I first started the demo, which I thought sounded pretty good. But I can't seem to get them to work again. It'll be interesting to see what third party developers can do with localised voices, for the UK etc...

Oh really...can you point me in the right direction Geof?

Yes, seems ATC still needs some work. At first I thought it was going to be genial, but soon realized it needed a bit of tweaking.

I just set myself up at ksea-hit the enter button and filed dep/dest both ksea. After that different options would pop up in the window when hitting the enter key-which you click on with your mouse.

ATC is still a mystery to me...I hit enter then Departure = KSEA, Arrival = KPWT. In the other box I put CAN...then?I hit enter ... and it asks for a flight plan ...what the?At the moment X-Plane still feels like a university project for software engineers....I really WANT to like it and make a switch from FS2004 but ATC is really high on my priority list.Can any experienced X-Planers help me out please?

http://www.x-plane.com/files/manuals/X-Plane_10_Desktop_manual.pdfHave a look at Pages 61 and 62.Hope that helps.

Hi Goran,Thanks for the pages. I did try to search for ATC in the manual but must have missed those pages. I put KSEA to KSBD @ FL10 but still no other options. I can hear ATC giving directions to other aircraft but it is still ignoring me. I also notice that the graphic on the wiki has IFR/VFR selections which don't show in the demo?Any other help appreciated.

Unfortunately, ATC in XP10 is new to everyone. The extent of my knowledge of it in XP10 is limited to just listening to it. Hopefully someone else who has gotten the hang of it can jump in.

You have to manage your frequencies yourself, no auto-tune like in MSFS. I think Chris over the developer blog pointed this out a few days ago in the comments, and it says so in the manual too!

The IFR/VFR option is not available probably due to the fact that ATC is currently IFR only, no VFR operations are yet supported. The image is probably an alpha concept version and they removed the option for VFR/IFR until VFR ops are simulated.
