August 29, 200421 yr I'm wondering if there are commercial add-ons that are better than the default FS9 ATC?Cliff
August 29, 200421 yr Radar Contact.Try forum next door.Michael J.http://www.reality-xp.com/community/nr/rsc/rxp-higher.jpg Michael J.
August 30, 200421 yr I second Radar Contact. Very good program, very accurate, scolds you when you do bad and praises you when you did good. It also doesn't leave you hanging just after contacting approach on a low vis ILS landing because mom said it was time for dinner.Willhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

August 30, 200421 yr Thanks guys. I've been reading the reviews and you've given me much food for thought.Cliff

August 30, 200421 yr It also doesn't leave you hanging just after contacting approach on a low vis ILS landing because mom said it was time for dinner.What a rediculous statement.Run along and play with your program-I'll stick with Vatsim and fly.John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer
August 30, 200421 yr >What a rediculous statement.>Run along and play with your program-I'll stick with Vatsim>and fly.>>John My, My, My... aren't we sensitive. I didn't mention VATSIM by name now did I? But I will now. Yes I have flown VATSIM before and don't any more for the very reason I mentioned. It happened more than once that controllers bailed out on me at the worst time after several hours of flight. Since you knew it was VATSIM that I was talking about then you must have had it happen to you as well. You may think my statement was rediculous but tell me this.... Was There ANYTHING untrue about it??????? Besides everyone is allowed to have an opinion without it being attacked as ignorant or rediculous don't you "think" fellas??Willhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
August 30, 200421 yr I always fly with Radar Contact - the best add-on I have...Juul Tango,Hasselt, Belgium
August 30, 200421 yr I assumed you were talking about VATSIM as it's easily the biggest Online organisation with about 10,000 members.It has happened me on occasion but I didnt find it a substantial enough reason to drop using it. I find the immersion and realism(in europe at least) far outweigh the occasional times when a controller drops off screen, or if I'm controlling-when the Pilot drops off screen.IMHO, VATSIM is the closest to reality that us PC pilots will ever get. Now, let me ask a question. When this controller dropped offline, did you not realise that it was an ideal situation to practice a situation of radio failure? That's what charts are for...John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer
August 30, 200421 yr I have been looking at getting Radar Contact but they don't provide any "demo" as such. Providing a sample flight or something for free would make it a lot easier to decide. -
August 30, 200421 yr Try VATSIM for free. If you're not happy-then buy radar contact because it is the most realistic ATC program when Online flight is taken out of consideration.John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer
August 30, 200421 yr I just love these "My dog is bigger and better than your dog" discussions.Sometimes I wonder what happened to civility ... the guy simply wanted a set of opinions . Pretty easy request to me.O well ... I have been an RC user since 3.0 was published, use it for each and every flight, find it to be a very well done and useful software title ,,, adds much to my flight sim experience ... and I would recommend it very highly.Good forum also, knowledgeable folks, very responsive developers.Cheers, and
