ATC-Observing with voice

[Johan Van Nieuwenhuizen 10]

Hi all!I always try to observe the ATC but then I can only see the planes.But with no voice.Can anyone help me?

Make sure you're tuned to the controller's frequency.

 

This is covered in the First Flight section of the PRC. Rather than retype the PRC here, why don't you give the steps a test and specify which parts you don't understand, or where it fails and I'd be glad to help clarify the issue.

What program are you using? If VRC (which is prefered) then right click on the controller you wish to observe, click "Request ATIS" It should then give you all the radio informatoin. Go to your comms panel, type in the frequency, server and channel

 

Example: rw.liveatc.net/CZWG_CTR

 

In the server, you type rw.liveatc.net, in the channel, you type CZWG_CTR. Then type in the frequency. Click save changes. Then check in the boxes RX and HDST or SPKR, both are fine. No need in checking the TX since you are only observing, and there is no need to transmit. If you were an active controller, you would check that. But for observing, it is not necessary.

Hi Joshua.The server and channel you gave me, will they work for EGLL?If not, please send me the correct ones for EGLL

Johan,

 

Every controller has something different, which is why you need to right click on a controller from the controller's box, and click "Request atis" To get to your controllers list, click "Tools -----> Controller list." And request atis. Every controller is different. The example I gave you is just the one "I" use when controlling.

Which client are you using when you try to hear ATC?

 

I meant this as part of my original message in this thread?

 

By the way, I don't know if you know that you can't receive private messages or not. You sent me a private message, and the reply option fails. I believe it's because your username is too long for the private message system.

If there is no ATC listed, there is two things that are possible.

1. There was no ATC on at the time

2. Be sure you ahve a sector loaded. Usually when you dont see ATC, there aren't any on. Try going somewhere else where there is.

I dont know where to get the sectors.Can you give me the site where I can download the sectors for England?

[Joshua Black]

Well, geography isn't my subject I believe it is in the UK, so I believe you can get your sector here:

If not, someone else help him?
