FSX Generic ATC question

Recommended Posts

I dont know if this has been asked before but if not my apologies in advance,

 

i know that in real world ATC, they announce the wind speed/direction before takeoff/landing clearances, is it possible to add this feature to the ATC on FSX?

Why, I'm glad you ask that!  The way to add that feature and many more callsings for airlines that the standard FSX does not give you, is to download and install EditVoicepack.  I don't think this will give wind sppeed and direction for landing, takeoffs, yes!  Press Shift + Z to see it before landing.

It is certainly possible to do that with EVP. It comes with some "Community Modifications", one of which may do that, I can't recall. But if not, you can make your own modification to do it. There's a bit of a learning curve, but once you've mastered that, EVP is great fun and very powerful.

In the real world you get your clearance, then you contact ground/departure. I have never gotten current conditions from clearance delivery.

 

Before you contact ground/ departure/ approach you tune into ATIS.

 

You then report that you have information 'yankee'.

 

Only in years past would ATC always give you wind direction and speed before takeoff. ATIS was designed to reduce ATC workload. So in short FSX ATC is actually correct.
