April 24, 20188 yr Radar Contact is still around and I like it very much, pf3 seems to have trouble understanding different altitudes for sectors and class airspace.
April 24, 20188 yr I'd also advice ProATC but I would wait until they solved all the problems with the current version. The latest release was rather buggy.
April 24, 20188 yr + 1 for Radar Contact is it rock solid even after 10+ years! However the 2 main disadvantages are lack of progressive taxi and SID/STAR handling... Shom MSFS2024 running on Win 11, 4K screen, Z790 AORUS ELITE AX-W, i9-14900K, MSI 3080Ti, Corsair 2x32GB 6000 MHz, 1+2TB M.2 NVMEs
April 24, 20188 yr PF3 : the regional accents alone make it great... 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

I agree, the latest release has a problem which I discovered early on , with P3D version 3.4 They say they can't duplicate the problem, but 4 other people using version 3.4 seeing same issue. Work around is to use version 1.9.1.9 of PATC.

Having no problem with interpreting flight plans or altitudes whatsoever, but I've flown with it in Europe only. In PF3 it's all about proper settings. PF3 is somewhat different in how things are set there from all other ATC programs (an I got all of them), it requires some learning and clear understanding of how your flight is preset. Once you have learnt it you shouldn't have many or say more problems compared to other ATC software. To some reason it is quite fascinating in my opinion. I like the concept and those natural voices of course. Very well supported and mature software. Dirk. SID/STAR implementation is the best if you know how to set it up properly. Multiple SIDs/STARs for a runway are available to you, including randomizer if you want. Edited April 24, 20188 yr by Dirk98

Still requires setting your arrival before you even take off. If weather changes during your flight, you are screwed. PATC X on the other hand will issue a different arrival, when that happens. That is what happens in the real world.Also not required to memorize a large number of hot keys, like with PF3,

April 24, 20188 yr What it really requires is taking a good look at your flight plan and understanding of how you're going to fligh it before flying. Like real pilots do. Nothing much than that. Edited April 24, 20188 yr by Dirk98
