Hi

I have been trying to contact Chris Serio to see if a fix can be found for the bug which prevents us using this great simulator in the south pacific, but without much luck.

Does anyone else have access to the code and would they be able to provide [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance.

Hi John

 

I tried it too to get contact some months ago but I almost got here in serious trouble instead of getting in contact.

Hi Marc

Thanks for your link. Looks like we just have to accept that Chris is busy with other things and that support is no longer available.

its a shame because this program has so much potential.

If only we could contact Chris we might be able to encourage his to p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] on the source code to someone who has the time available to make the corrections.

 

I have been using the Boston sector file for basic radar training but it just isn't the same as using your home sector file.

I mean, the programme ist not perfekt - and you cannot really train well - there need to be done just a few more things like

- the possibility that the aircraft can fly flightplans because in Europe we're using transitions very often which need to be trained

- different aicraft behaviour (B747 shall not turn like a C152)

Thats it what the programme would make as a useful tool for advanced APP/CTR training. Yet we can just use it up to a point of standard level...

When the alternative to training is to sit and wait for online traffic, Sweatbox/TWRTrainer are excellent tools. Maybe they could be improved, but as is, they drastically reduce the amount of time it takes for people to train on VATSIM.
