Hi Gues,it is a super Tool,but i request a Tool for Update.Manual Change for the Sqwac Code. For Online Feying

you want to change the code while enroute to something else, or prior to launching rc?jd

Hi there....Havnt acquired RC4 yet... so pls. forgive me if the question seems strange.However when we are with the future request....wasn't it an idea to simulate oceanic clearences. For instance RC4 could establish a standard NAT track system (wouldn't have to change daily - the same tracks could be establshed all the time!).So if you flew oceanic you would have to adhere to the OTS or use free routing - but to gain realism...you would only get your oceanic clearence once you are about to enter the oceanic air space.Position reporting, mach restrictions, step climps (which I understand is already fully supported > REQ higher ALt) perhaps even a small HF simulation could be points of interest.What it all boils down to is that it would be interesting to "feel" the difference in procedures when you are oceanic and outside VHF reach...Just my two cents.... Best regards (from a soon to be RC4 owner)Michael ChristiansenKarup, DenmarkIs there in RC4 any difference when you fly oceanic - I assume you are still under positive control by a "normal" ARTCC? but I might be wrong

We have been thinking about the implementation of oceanic airspace (in particular oceanic clearances, and position reporting)into RC for a long time. But the phrasology is so different from normal non-oceanic areas, that a whole new set of wavs and code would be needed to make it work. And that's just the start.Also we need to look at how many people out there actually do a lot of long haul, over the ocean flying. For every hour spent on implementing oceanic control, that's an hour we didn't make RC better in some other way.Further to this, the datalink logons, ADS-B, HF ACARS, SELCAL, FANS Navigation, varying RNP figures in different FIRs, microsoft not proving HF radios (only VHF frequencies available), Primary AND Secondary guard frequencies, etc - a small problem suddenly becomes a big one.So for now, RC treats oceanic areas like any other normal control centre. But we will implement it one day :()Meanwhile, there is a lot of prerecorded HF chatter that is designed to play when you are in most major OCA areas - like San Fran/Oakland, Brisbane, Auckland, Singapore, Tokyo, NY, and the major Atlantic FIRs too. That gives you that OCA 'feel' when you hear it and all you can see around you is blue ocean. Subs

Hi guys great product,Any chance of adding arc approaches - there are heaps of them in my neck of the woods?Neville

Any time you are within approach airspace, you can request a Instrument Approach (IAP). Requesting this tells the controller you want a IAP (rather than vectors), so you can continue to follow the published approach (say arc approach) without the controller telling you to do something else. But the controller also assumes you know what you're doing, and won't help unless you request vectors again with your tail between your legs ;o)There is extensive coverage of all this in the manual available at the RC website. That'll give you an exact idea of how RC is behaves and controls.Subs

Hi there,Yes I found that out, but presumed that the end flight critique telling me I was a naughty boy for going off course was related to that, or is it something else that I've done wrong.regardsNeville

That depends - when you did fly off your course of flight, the controller would have repeatedly instructed you to get back on the airway, via a vector to get you back on course. This will happen regardless of if you're with Centre or Approach. Just after being handed over to Approach, request a IAP and the controller will expect you to fly the approach by yourself.More than likely, it's a waypoint along the way you've missed.Here are 2 tips:Remember to pass waypoints with 2nm, otherwise you won't get 'credited' for passing it. Also make sure the plan you open with RC, is the same routing as what you input into GPS/FMC etc. But as jd says, the best way to navigate is the top line of the AdvDisp window because that shows you exactly where RC expects you to go. He says AdvDisp is the best FMS of them all :7Also if you're using accel time, use x1 acceleration when nearing a waypoint, wait for the checkpoint ding, then use accel time again till the next waypoint. I find anything more than x1 makes the plane miss the waypoint sometimes by flying very close, but not close enough to the waypoint.If you're having any more problems with future flights, let us know. This previous one was probably a missed waypoint that's all.Subs

< 2nm for departure procedures.< 5nm for enroute checkpointsjd

I'd like to be able to just load another flight plan, without exiting and fly to another destination. As an example, I save all flight plans that I dont intend to reuse, to -CURRENT . . . This is overwritten, each time I create another flight plan with FSNav in FS2004. Now, when still in the Flight Sim, after reaching say Edwards, can go to FSNav, and create one to San Diego. Then export it to FS2004, as -CURRENT, load it and fly it. (I use the - in the name, so it is the top flight plan.) Would this be possible maybe with a command from the ADV menu?

sorry, i don't see how this would be feasible. maybe in a v5.jd

Have you explored the COD feature?

What is the COD featgure?

change of destinationbut that would only apply while enroute. or after a missed approach.i think what you are asking for, is once you land, load a new .pln and restart rc, all from an existing rc "session" and not having to start rc over again.jd

Yes to restart from an existing session... If I reloaded a "default" name, like CURRENT plan, then hit a Reset or Restart key. Something like which is in FS, where you can restart the current flight. If it must wait to V5 then I must wait, but if possible...... :-) Just something for your idea list.
