Asobo states that their new microlight ac retails for $9.99. But in the UK the price is £13.74. This is applying the exchange rate in the wrong direction. If applied in the correct way the UK price should be £7.14. Or conversely, if the correct price is actually £13.74 then the equivalent US price in dollars should be $19.23. Hopefully this is an honest mistake rather than Asobo trying to rip off its UK customers

Thanks for saying this Ray. I’ve used RC4.3 for many years and it has provided me with ATC that is simple and for the most part sensible. True it doesn’t provide many of the advanced features as such support for SIDS and STARs, and ground control is doesn’t exist. What it does do is provide a rational level of service between departure and destination. And the chatter files provide some level of immersion as they are recordings of real ATC. I would certainly take RC4 as alternative to being handed over to Manchester Centre while flying at 500ft in the Welsh Low Flying Area. As you mention, the program as donated by JD is what it is but I wonder whether his arm could be twisted by Asobo to provide it if the terms were favourable. Frankly, anything is better than what we have at present.

I've used Radar Contact 4 for many years and still do with P3D. I wish some clever person could modify the RC4 connection so that it would work with MSFS. I know that it's really old in the tooth now but it is still so much more real and immersive than the built in program which is simply awful. I was transiting north, half way up Devon the other day when I was told to call Manchester Centre for flight following! Modern radars may be good but they cant see ac at 3000 ft 200 nms away.
