As the title says, I had been looking for an alternative ATC for some time and use Radar Contact with FSX but in X-Plane 11 had been looking for a more immersive experience.

Downloaded Pilot2ATC after reading that it allowed a ten day trial period.

Once the trial finished I was sold on it, granted there is a heck of a lot to learn to get the best from this software and also found ways to improve listening to the controllers thanks to Dave where another user had difficulty on hearing instructions, also have added more TTS voices thanks to another thread on here.

Turning to the controllers, I find it really helpful in that there are many scripts to help when using ATC, back in the Seventies I used to fly Gliders and kept my hand in on light aircraft, mainly the Auster and Tiger Moth as well as others, but in those days it was not a requirement to have radios on board light aircraft so never did get much practice on the RT, now with my brain getting to 68 it is not as sharp as it used to be (never was anyway but not letting on on that)!😉

So the 'Say It' a gods send without the worry of using ATC and getting what I want to say all wrapped round my tongue and coming out like proverbial garbage!!  

 

So Dave, if you happen to chance on my post would just like to say that this programme has made a huge difference to my flight simming and also will start using it on FSX once I have mastered the art of proper ATC communications so many thanks for producing  a brilliant interactive ATC. 

 

Regards

Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

I just downloaded the trial last weekend - also coming from RC4 - I’m probably in the same boat... 

Enjoy...

Hi Scott, There is a lot to learn with this programme but once you become familiar with it, it becomes easier.  BTW, I believe that Pilot2ATC will work with Radar Contact, sure I read about it somewhere though at the moment do not have FSX installed since buying a new computer.

Nigel.

Nigel,

Thanks for the kind words.

Excuse me?

They are 2 different ATC programs, how come they would work together??

Perhaps Dave may want to chime in here.

Thanks.

Hi Dirk, spent some time trying to find where I had read it and found that I was mistaken, sorry.  Radar Contact does work with another programme (a competitor) but do not think that it would be right to mention the name of the programme on here.
