I have a ton of PAI AI traffic and with the default FS2k2 ATC there is of course a bunch of traffic calls. I just completed my initial RCv3 flight and while I heard the ground traffic at my departure airport and a little bit of Departure calls after a few minutes I only heard the RCv3 traffic calls. When I got to my arrival airport I still only heard RCv3 traffic calls.While the RCv3 calls are nice I really want to hear the AI calls too.Any suggestion?Thanks

Read the information beginning on page 107 of the Radar Contact manual "Using FS2002 ATC and Radar Contact together."Then come back here and ask any questions you may have.

Okay, I understand the manual and I have replicated this in my flight. I guess I was hoping there was a way that I didn't have to jack around with FSATC and that all the AI traffic calls would be handled directly through RCv3. However, from what I have read in the manual this is not possible. Correct?On a related note, I noticed while flying from approaching MIA from MSY that RCv3 informed an AA AI flight of my position, heading and separation and I thought that I heard the AA AI flight respond to the RCv3 controller via RCv3.

not sure i understandrc will make all the ai traffic advisories as is required by the FAR.on your related note, what you heard was correct. the other traffic will respond to the rcv3 controllerthat is what all those chatter pilots (91-98) are for.

Let me try to clarify.On page 107 of the manual it describes how to hear the FSATC chatter when using RCv3. This description involves, tweaking the FS 2K2 flight plan, manually monitoring FSATC and tuning the appropriate frequencies. What I was hoping is that when RCv3 changes frequencies (to say Houston Center)that I would hear all the FS AI traffic calls on the Houston Center frequency. Instead, from what I understand, I have to manually change the FSATC frequencies.I hope that helps.

my center frequencies are totally random numbers (valid frequencies). somewhere in the manual it describes how you can use comm2 to monitor the fsatc frequencies.i played around with that a little last night (i didn't write the section, so it was my first experience).for departure, approach, tower and ground, i think i match up pretty well with the frequencies that ms is using

JD,To be honest, your Tower frequenvies are about 30% matching the ones FSATC uses. If there are two freqs, then there's a good chance RC is using one, and FSATC is using the other. This has been my experience. This is more often than not FS's wrong choice. At large airports like KDEN it's a hopeless cause. Denver uses four freq's for the different runways.APC/DEP freqs are almost totally made up for both RC and FSATC. Again, real world has different APC freqs based on direction. RC can't do that, and FSATC pretty much makes them up.It's no biggie to me, and at airports I live around, I've changed all of the relevant freqs in RC I can. Wish I could do that in FSATC. ;-)Maybe V4 will have each runway Twr freq and APC/DEP "direction" freqs in the RCFreqs file for added realism. :-lol
