For some days ago, I flew from Canada to Germany, crossing Ireland, the UK and Belgium on my way to Frankfurt (EDDF). When I was in Canadian aispace, all chatter (ground, departure, ATC) was plain synthetic. After entering oceanic, I got nice HF chatter all the way until reaching Ireland where I again got these synthetics. Crossing the UK, there was english chatter, but the remaining route including arrival and ground at EDDF RC was playing synthetic chatter again. This seriously affects the feeling of real ATC. I would prefer to hear chatter even with american/british accent rather than these terrible synthetic ones. Is there any way to achieve that? If not, I seriously consider to revert to RC2.1 :-) (but those 34 bucks)

going back to 2.1 won't help.the reason you get synthetic chatter, is because no recorded chatter exists for that controller in that airspace.the only way to improve it, is for people to record and submit their recordings.jd

In V2.1, your were playing american chatter where no other records existed. I wish at least this option back. I have no idea though if the implementation of this option whould be very difficult.

Hi,you can copy english and france chatter to canada and germany. Than it is almost like real... Go into the folders where the englisch and frensch wave files are and just copy the stuff where you see fit.ORIf you are about near Fuhlsb

There is already Canadian chatter.You don't have to copy the chatter, just make a link in the controller directories you want chatter in. For an example, look at folder winwood309 for the way to use a link. In there is $usa.txt. $usa means to use the usa folder chatter files.For Canada, put in $canada.txt as the link.Of course you need to know what sectors are in Canada and which folders those sectors are. If you have FSNav, you can set the map to display sectors. Those are the ones RC uses. then look in airspace.csv (ise a text editor to read it), and look for those names. That'll tell you the folder names.Then do the same for Germany or any other country. You can see what chatter is available by looking in the specifically-named folder under winwood. If they have files in each subfolder, there's chatter.

Thanks for the replies! I will look into this folders and try to install the american or british chatter.

I have added tis $usa file into the German folders and I now get the usual American chatter at Frankfurt airport. So, It works fine!When I looked into the UK folder though, there was no "$uk" file. So what can I do if I want to get the british chatter to play in another region than the UK?

Andreas,Remember, the $xxx.txt file is the LINK to the chatter directory. If you want UK chatter, you need to put $uk.txt (0 bytes) into the sector folders (i.e. 108, 205, 321) where you want UK chatter.You can create a text file by right-clicking in the appropriate folder and click New->Text Document. Then rename that to $uk.txt, or whatever you want. Then copy that to every other sector folder you want UK (or whatever) chatter. Or you can search for the link you want ($uk.txt is in 380 and 385) and copy the file.

Fine-now I understand :) Do you have a listing which folder contains which country FIRs? It turnes out to be somewhat time consuming to search 99-348 to find a specific FIR.

Andreas,Somewhere around here I posted the method to find out the control sectors. Do a search for "search" and look at anything from me in the past week.Also, sectors begin with 102, not 99. You should have 102 to 400 with various missing numbers between.

Thanks, Scott!I am just flying a mission from Germany to Mauritius, at the moment above Ethiopia with the new british ATC. Sounds quite good to me. Perhaps somebody will record some north african chatter in the future, so I would download it at once :) regards,

There is one remark (after heaving completed the flight using time compression): I now have $uk in Cairo FIR, Karthoum FIR, Addis Abbeba FIA, and kenian airspace. RC now plays british chatter as it is supposed to do but the chatter always starts with that nice soundfile where a pilot is confusing his call sign "papa november india - papa november yankee". There are three ATC folders in the UK folder named ATC1, ATC2 and ATC3 and my impression is that always files from ATC3 are used, additionally always in the same order. Is it possible to get the files more randomly played from all three ATC folders? Or, can it be done a way that you get more typical high altiude chatter like in the American ATC chatter files?

Any ideas?

low controller is always in atc1, high is in atc2, super is in atc3it would not be realistic to hear chatter talking to a plane at 370 when you are climbing through 17000jd
