hey @Andreas - does your TCAS currently work in swift? mine does not, wondering if the problem is not just limited to FS9 at the moment?

might sound dumb but if I'm not mistaken MCP alt can put a stop to your approach if it's set at your minimums, say you don't want to go any lower than 700ft unless you can see the runway. I forgot to set my MCP alt lower so when i intercepted the glide i stopped at my previous [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned 2,500ft

Delay in Aircraft Movements
Daniel Morris 1132365 replied to Nicholas Lewis 1061646's topic in xPilot
yep I had it yesterday as things were winding down in heathrow, buddy taxxing in next to me said he'd already parked up as i watched him land and taxi in next to me, smooth but delayed... also weirdly I couldn't see him but I suspect that's an issue with how I'm layering my CSL files -
AFV Development team (and fellow testers) All the different client platforms, Vatsim BOG, Facility engineers, Great effort all-round, It was time for vatsim to move forward and it has, All the times i've moaned about this problem - and now it's sorted, it's a great feeling from the user end. Well done and thank you all. p.s. #BlameGary

Which country's AIP is this? I think common sense comes into it here, calling every final is no bad thing but you wouldn't call on every leg. If kept concise I'd be happy to hear unicom used doing circuits nearby

so whens the date then!!

If you're the minority holding back progress you're hurting the community you wish to be part of. It's not hard, download a new client, ENJOY advances in technology. I bet your phone is newer than your pilot client, and even if it isn't you must accept that to move forward we have to adopt new things.... Join the fun, embrace the change -
U.S. pilots flying in europe.

Don't be afraid of being wrong, as long as you are humble enough to learn you'll not look stupid. Controllers aren't there to wrap your knuckles should you get something wrong, more to help you conduct a safe ( and fun, virtual) flight -
Multiple airport transit route
Daniel Morris 1132365 replied to Daniel Morris 1132365's topic in Pilot Talk
Thanks for the input chaps! I'll post up here if I find any more recommendations for anybody else reading wanting to know -
Hi all, A bit of a weird one maybe but, say for example I want to fly from A-B-C-D but only doing a touch and go, or a low approach - go around at B and C: 1. How do i best communicate this on my flight plan 2. How does this work with SIDs? am i given one before i touch down at B/C? am I given vectors? or do I execute missed app proc (even on a touch and go) (expecting this answer to be a variable from airport to airport but guidance is welcome) 2. Should i pre-note controllers with my intentions as good practice? Thanks in advance, Dan

If you would like to control, you must go through the training process for the region you would like to control it, while she's learning that you could learn this here

I'm a fresh S1, I'll be honest, I'm excited BUT I probably couldn't handle a full workload yet. Say for example the person writing this ATIS is fresh to their rating they literally may not have the experience (or confidence) to deal with a busy environment yet, I'd like to ask you if you'd conduct the flight without ATC full stop or a reduced service -IF- it was necessary. Stay positive and I hope it works out for you, also a side note: text pilots are actually very similar in speed to communicate with as voice pilots, all I have to do is select the aircraft, type maybe 4 keys and hit

Pilots disconnecting when receiving contact me.
Daniel Morris 1132365 replied to Nick Saffari's topic in Controller Talk
Arthur simply wishes to fly with other people, without atc, I would recommend connecting to the network on swift as an observer, in this way he won't have to interact with any services at the same time not impeding others. Going back to the chap who replied to my post, a personalised friendly contact me is perfect, if you can make it sound welcoming; the newbie may be less startled, I encourage it. -

Daniel Morris 1132365 replied to Nick Saffari's topic in Controller Talk
I think making a contact me more friendly would help the situation, the ones that don't care are generally loud, obnoxious and don't care about being in the way - THEY need training or weeding out NOT the nervous new starter. The kind of pilot that thinks he's inconvenienced somebody or simply found it too intimidating to contact ATC are the ones to disconnect. A contact me sounds like a "telling off" kinda like "why aren't you on my frequency CONTACT ME NOW" when really it could be friendlier, something that sends a message like "welcome to London center, please contact me on 123.45" -
Sick of being ripped off
Daniel Morris 1132365 replied to Graham White's topic in General Discussion
Perhaps consider to take matters into your own hands, there are a few good editors that might help. Obviously when you spend hard earned money on something; you should be made aware of exactly what you're buying! providing a chart of the airport in this case would be helpful. Because forums are a good place for communities to discuss things with those who have similar interests
