Somewhat bothers me that "little things" like ATC have not been communicated, which may indicate it may not be a serious simulation, although MS has been known to keep things to themselves.Bob

Man I can't wait for the first real official news to come out in January. I hope I'm wrong but I think my next upgrade will be FSX.As far as ATC goes what we already have in FS9 should suffice for remote island flying. :(

Well don't start them in the first place and we wouldn't have to waste our time reading through pages of crap!

relax .. most of the readers of this forum dont mind the rumors and speculations ..... more find it entertaining than not. You just dont hear from the folks that dont mind it.Some folks on this forum really struggle when things dont go their way ... wonder if they are like this when they push away from the computer.

At least he didn't double post.

My phone entered twice, it wasn't my fault :(

We don't need Microsoft that designs ATC for MF - it will be disaster in any case; we need Microsoft that provides the possibility for developers to design ATC in MF (such as RC). Simply speaking - give us reliable ATC SDK

you are so dramatic .. disaster, really?

The entire MS Flight section of the forum is a disaster :(

I think that they will simplify it to make it better for arcade gamers.

I doubt its possible to simplify atc more than it allready is, well they could remove it.

Yeah, something like: " Hey tower, gimme an high five ! I'm just slapping my ******* *** on your...come on everybody do you wanna get down.... runway !! Yahooooooo Whaaaaass uuuuuupp ?! "You know the feeling

That's not all that unrealistic at some airports.I'm a controller in the Army. When I deployed this past year to Iraq, we were all super professional on the mic. Then, starting at about halfway through the deployment (when other units started to leave), things started going downhill...actually it was more like someone switched a switch. "Touch-Me tower, this is Nightlong 12, and we're coming in oscar with a big load!" was one transmission, for example. Of course, it wasn't only limited to the aircraft's transmissions. There were a few OH-58's in one sector that directly lined up with the runway operating, and two AH-64's call up: "Tower, gun 32 would like to come in Mike." "Gun 32, tower. Mike's all full up with two guys in him already. Can you reach around and come in Oscar?" "Ohhhh, Mike sounds like a busy guy, but we'd love to come in oscar!"It just went downhill from there, with the end result of us putting up a sign made of glowsticks saying, "Live Nudes" and hanging it from the tower. In addition, we had a couple "dancers" with chemlights attached to their shirts and pants dancing around on top.It should also be said that we started referring to all the different legs of the traffic pattern, as well as places on the airfield, as different things you would find/do in a strip club while the sign was up.So in short, just because it's not all standard doesn't mean that it's not realistic! ;)

How disappointed will you be if your negativity is proved wrong. It would appear that you want MS flight to fail. How about you just 'wait and see' rather than asserting 'facts' that you possibly couldn't know!

In my opinion Flight will miss at all an ATC.What's the needing of an ATC if there is one biplane/Maule only in the sky ?" Hi Honolulu, this is flight Penelope Pitstop, approaching the retired men delivering a denture on runway 88 (?) ,mayday mayday mayday, we are declaring an emergency , running out of soda ! Requesting urgent furniture of party ribbons ! "You know the feeling

I guess you're bored today, Mark? :(

I guess you're bored today, Mark? :(

Not really, days passed by and the lack of news seems to feed the growth of unreal scenarios.Therefore I have been forced to give this thread a dam bringing it back to reality :(

ATC is an if:then system. Computers are good at if:then. Maybe we can get the two in a room together for a meeting before Flight comes out? It seems the last meeting was incomplete.
