    Ha Ha The same thing used to happen to me.Flight would be going fine then out of the blue plane would go nose up hard sometimes causing a stall.It would be a mad scramble to hit the pitch wheel.I could never figure out what caused it.I stopped using the plane.

    In Radar Contact you could ask for another runway but not in FSX or in ProATC-X.  AI will eventually disappear but it takes a long time (and again not very realistic).  I use AI Smooth and it does a pretty good job of moving aircraft out of the way so I can get out of town or into town.

    Hi Jim

     

    Thanks for that reply, on a night that has taken the gilt-edge of my flying tonight. First, the early evening news emanating from that Naval yard in DC, followed a couple of hours later that one of this Forum's noted posters and contributors, the late Steve Inwood, (R.I.P.) sadly, passed away this evening.

     

    Will the upcoming FS2Crew add-on not take care of that? Seems like it's a case of mixing the default ATC with your choice. Not the perfect dish maybe. Maybe, we should wait for our hobby to be taken forwards just as the spate of aircraft are doing so.

    My cousin works in the building where that happened!He left for conn. 10 MIN before it happened!

    Hi Rick,

     

    Straight from the hip I would not recommend any one of them.  I do like some of the features in ProATC-X but IMHO it is still not a finished product.  For instance, the default can "see" AI on the runway and in the air... ProATC-X cannot for the most part and I think that's where they are running into problems as I understand they would have to get into the FSX code to allow that to happen (and getting into the code is not going to happen). ProATC-X does see some AI aircraft incoming and sometimes when you arrive at the departure runway (they'll tell you that you are 3d in line for departure) but most of the time it does not. The only realistic ATC is the on-line stuff but it's not perfect either.  I can handle not seeing AI on the runways.  A couple of others cannot.  I had Radar Contact installed for several years but it is no longer being updated.  What I like about ProATC-X is the fact that you can have a co-pilot who manages frequencies, altitudes, and some other tasks.  I do not think it realistic that YOU, as the Pilot, the Captain of the Ship, etc., has to fly a huge airliner all by yourself.  I like the fact that you can give some of these tasks to your co-pilot and/or Flight Engineer.  ProATC-X is not cheap for many but it has a lot of nice features.  When I fly using ProATC-X, I'll use both the default and ProATC.  Most of the time I can hear the default asking the AI aircraft whether they see me or not.  The default is always good for background ATC too.  I definitely do not like it for takeoffs and landings. 

     

    Best regards,

    Jim

    As far as ProATC-X is concerened is there a way to get a AI plane that is slow or not moving on the ground out of the sim.I love RC for fs 9 , but hate the fact that the fs AI engine would leave a plane in front of me sitting there not moving or responding to calls.I understand it's because of fs, but there was no way to remove them.I cant wait to get fsx!
