hi guys,was flying around with RC yesterday and i noticed two things...1) i was flying from EGKK to LEMD. since there are no sound files for Brest control which lies inbetween the two airports basically it got quiet along the way, but it made me notice that the sound files for the appropriate sector change regardless of you changing frequency. for example, i had just been told to change to Madrid Control, and after the reply (i had not pressed the #1 key to change frequencies) i already heard the Madrid chatter files playing. just a little edge off the realism.2) i was waiting to depart at LEMD and an AI aircraft was not taking off from the active. it must be an AFCAD issue, but anyway, at that point i was already monitoring the Tower with the only option in my AdvDisplay 'Abort T/O'.... since i had my ACARS running and i had a flight schedule to keep, is there anyway to keep the 'Req RWY' option in there for these kind of situations? i eventuall aborted take off, reported my intentions to take off again, was then cleared to ground, requested another runway and was finally able to take off.i remember some time ago, maybe for FS2002 there was a tool from which you could delete AI aircraft in your vicinity. this was made for all the hectic approaches... does anyone know if this can still be downloaded somewhere? thanks, hope my two items are of some help in any way. other than that a super super program, even though it was very quiet in the Brest Control airspace, any French ATC files around?

sorry, two more that came to mind.3) is maastricht/euro control not the main ATC above FL245? is there a reason this was not built in. i just found some ATC Chatter files on the internet of Euro Control which could easily be used. i would be willing to record my voice to give you an extra controller for it, drop me a line if it sounds feasible :)4) during my departure from LEMD yesterday, i taxied from gate T4 to 36L. this taxi way goes along the 33 and at the end you cross the end of the runway (which was being used for landings, but the taxiway is seperate from the runway 'spanish airports' package from Aerosoft) the ATC, not ground but tower when i switch just 20 seconds later, told me of my infraction. told me to hit the brakes and to let landing traffic pass. there were no aircraft in the area at that moment nor when i crossed the base of the runway. anyway all of this effects your critique in the end, not that i listen to it too much since i have heard them all so many times before since version 1.

Hi Matthew,1. Point taken, the change of frequency and chatter can get a bit out of stnch at times.2. I installed the MS traffictools sdk from http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul...wnloads_sdk.aspIt gives you something called traffic explorer which is great fun to play with. It allows you to do all sorts of things to individual ai planes (including deleting them).All the best,John

hi john, sounds sweet, nothing better than to play the roman emperor once in a while and delete an AI aircraft that is holding up the rest :)'Throw him to the lions!' hahahahai will have a look at it, but does it delete AI aircraft while in the game itself? i remember a tool for that, a long time ago, maybe two years. if this is traffictools, like that from Lee Swordy then i am afraid it will be of no use.... i just need to kick him off the runway if there is a mess up with the FS ATC and him. will check it out never the less!edit i see what you mean, the traffic explorer :) sounds good. would this run through WideFS you think?

Hi Matt,3. At present in RC the centre boundaries are the same at every altitude.4. If I understand you correctly the taxiway you were on crosses the line of runway 36L but well to the South of the end of 36L. As I remember the message you heard is a standard one which is played when you are caught on the runway without permission. Probably a bit harsh under the circumstances described! I've put it on my 'to check on' list. I have that scenery.All the best,John

john, what i did was taxi from stand T4 via the inner taxi way along the gates to where you must turn right and then left to the outer runway (running paralel to runway 33). at no point do you cross the runway. i taxi along 33, then am told to monitor the tower at which point i get my backside slung into the roman arena, just a few inches above the hungry lions.... just as a warning... but i am innocent :)

Hi,I don't think you can run it via widefs. It runs as a seperate window within FS. Right click on the entry for a plane and play with the ai to your hearts content. And yes, it affects the ai in the game itself.Highly recommended!All the best,John

Hi Matthew,Thanks. From that description I can try and duplicate it. I think I know why that might have happened. One more for the 'to do' list ;-)All the best,John
