What ATC and AI do you use with P3D?

[jcomm 5,939]

I would like to hear your experience in the selection and use of these two types of satellite apps that can inject their own ATC and AI into the version of P3D you use, although I am particularly interested in P3D v6...

I use the default ATC-it recognises and manages AIG traffic and with editvoicepack it is much more realistic.

i also use multicrew experience occasionally which can be used for ATC interactions with speech

For AI I use AIG and many payware and freeware PBR airline models that integrate into AIG, no spinning aircraft 😉

For ATC, default ATC or Pilot 2 ATC (much more involved and tetchy) but is still being updated.

AIG and Pro ATC-X (P3D 5.4).

Been using AIG, PF3 and MCE for years now. Going to check out VoxATC for SPOs soon, and I'm on Pilotedge.

No one using Radar Contact v4? Miles better that the default. It’s free too so I’m perplexed why more don’t try it. Whilst I don’t have v6 it will still work.

AIG and RC4 here.

Ray,

I myself used it with FSX many many Moons ago, but I completely forgot about it 😞, how it looks / feels,etc... Guess there's also a port into X-Plane?

Anyway, is it tricky to install or straightforward?

Could you provide some "strategic" links for a rather simATC-basic user to succeed giving it a try?

Thanks!

Voxatc with traffic global. Not been using it for a while now though

Here’s the link to downloading and installation. I’m not an XP user but there are those who are. You need XUIPC I believe.

It comes with a comprehensive manual.

Radar Contact is not that good for IFR (it doesn't recognize SIDs or STARs) but it is excellent for low and slow VFR in my opinion @Ray Proudfoot

No it doesn’t and that was being worked on when JD just terminated any further development. Interesting you fail to mention all the things it does really well such as starting you down at the appropriate point and giving you correct vectors to a 30° intercept to the localiser.

It is specifically an IFR program. I guess we have different opinions on that. I never use it for VFR.

Is RCV4 aware of AI aircraft?

I have Radar Contact 4, PF3 and Pro ATC-X.  I prefer Radar Contact 4, as it is easier to set up for my airline flights and works very well with my setup.  I use PFPX or Simbrief to compile my flight plans, which contain respective SID & STAR waypoint data, so in effect, RC4 is able to keep up with SIDs and STARs on a respective route until vectoring for setup for final approach.  I always select/check the Notams boxes in the RC4 flight setup screen to allow me to get set up on the proper course/heading for the SID on departure and to make sure I am clear of any terrain obstacles during my descent into destination.  All in all, RC4 is the easier and cheaper (free) atc program to use for fsx/p3d pilots!

I also use AIG for my ai a/c,. too.
