Looking For ATC Alternative

[Skyseek 18]

I have PILOT2ATC, which is great,  but I was wondering if there was a smaller footprint ATC add-on that would be able to run on my flight sim PC without a lot of overhead, so I don’t have to run on a network machine.

 

Thanks!

All currently available ATC are word not allowed, one way or the other.

I am not sure what you mean Ricardo 41.

Thanks!

I own Pro ATC SR, which works half the time and has close to no support from the developer.

I considered FSHud, but the voices are terrible.

The same applies to all the other available - bad voices, clunky interrfaces, etc.

FSHUD. By far the best you can get. Especially the new beta version in combination with the newest experimental of FSLTL is probably the best you can get at the moment. Works like a charm. Full airports, a nice departure queue, SID´s, STAR´s, Vectors, Visuals, Step Climbs etc. - probably all you can ask for. And an update almost once a week.

Are you running it networked or local?

 

Thanks!

PF3, uses very little processor power ( CPU around 1%), has over 100 controller voices, been around for years and updated at least twice a year. .

Local.

I would suggest Vatsim, IVAO, or PilotEdge. Small footprint, real ATC controllers.

My personal experience with FSHud was not good at all (for instance, it didn't work nicely with FSLTL), but it strongly depends on what you are looking for. The developers of MultiCrewExperience and Pilot2ATC offer a trial version, so you can check out if the program works for you. As long as FSHud does not offer such a trial version, I would recommend not to buy it.

When I am not on Vatsim, I went back to using Pilot2ATC. Still the best off-line ATC experience for me.

Using the beta and the FSLTL-experimental build right now, and have absolutely zero problems with FSHUD.

I have PILOT2ATC.

What is FSLTL?  Is that a separate product?

 

Also, with FSHUD, will it load the MSFS flight plan?  I need more info on the Flight Planning process.

Thanks!

FSLTL is a third party tool that injects real world traffic including the (almost) correct liveries into the sim. The planes are following real flight plans. It´s available in the installer of the FBW A320.

 

Regarding flightplans: It has simbrief integration.

It is a freeware program that injects live traffic into the sim.
