ivansao 1 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Hey Guys,Someone uses some app to handle the ATC, the default one gets crazy specially w some traffic.Any suggestions to replace the default one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 344 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thats an old story. Soon someone is telling you to fly online, thats for sure the best one. And I have to say, this guy is right. Its the only possibility to get authentic ATC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterAmsterdam 22 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi,Although I agree with the previous poster you could also take a look at Pro-ATC/X (http://www.pointsoftware.de/) or Radar Contact (http://www.jdtllc.com/) both have their pros and cons and for sure the best ATC is if you fly online.Greetings,Pete EHAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsk8 21 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The problem with flying online for me and I have done it in the past, is there are never any controllers where and when I want to fly. I use Pro ATC, and I start with clearance Delivery, Ground, Tower, departure Control. Center, Approach Control, Tower and Ground everytime and everywhere I fly. Not going to happen with Online flying, unless it is a pretty rare occasion. Too many times, I have been approaching an airport but still many miles away, after a flight of a few hours only to have the only controller around, sign off.

Max Reverse 344 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 That are the problems we all have to deal with ;) But, sorry to say, there is no other way - until someone (maybe in the House of Aerosoft) starts to develope the ultimate ATC Software.

bobsk8 21 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 See for yourself. As I post this, there is not one controller in the entire US online. http://vattastic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not surprised Bob at 07:40 local on the East Coast and a weekday :).I would make use of the booking information and posted events to get the best from online flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnan 1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Voxatc works fine for me, before that for many years I have used Radar Contact.Proatc has not been totally reliable, or predictable, in my experience, but I have not tried it for a few months. Perhaps the latest updates have improved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Reverse 344 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 For my taste, the sound of the voice from the ATC Programm is the most important. Some sound so computerized, that I don't use them anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnan 1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Use an ATC program such as Voxatc that allows you to use voices, if you wish, which are NOT computer synthesised, such as those supplied by Ivona.You have to pay for them but they are a big improvement.

ivansao 1 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks all for the advice, i will give these tools a try, and yes I have tried to use some of the online ATC and no one was there - Aerosoft Ultimate ATC doesnt sound bad hey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't program my flying time around posted events. I probably fly an average of 2-3 flights a day for a VA starting around 10 AM EST. There are no controllers in the US at that time. Even in the afternoon, you are lucky if you find a couple. I don't like flying having to plan my flight after looking to see if there is a controller within 1,000 miles, and then by the time I set up and takeoff, that one controller has signed off. Been there, done that many times in the past. I'll take Pro ATC any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
