Renard 0 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hello! Flight Sim Commander 7 has enjoyed the addition of patches (patches n°1 and 2) which bring new functions into this wonderful add-on. Unfortunately, I found those functions not enough documented for being able to use them correctly. Wiser users will believe this is a complete waste of time, but I would like to report into my favourite forum (this one) what I have discovered: IVAO is short for International Virtual Aviation Organization and their website is http://www.ivao.aero/hq/ VATSIM is short for Virtual Air Traffic flight SIMulation network and their website is http://www.vatsim.net/ Both IVAO and VATSIM are associations of simmers who may either be in charge of an ATC device (say a control tower in an airport) or be a pilot. FSC 7.72 can now download the list and position of ATC devices which are currently active (i.e. taken care of by a simmer registered in IVAO or VATSIM) and the airplanes currently using IVAO or VATSIM. As shown in the attached screencopies, you should first download the data from IVAO or VATSIM, them you can display, on the FSC map, the position of the active air controllers and aircrafts. Controllers and aircrafts will not change or move, on the FSC map, until you download again the IVAO or VATSIM data (so that those aircrafts are called static aircrafts). Display settings allow you to choose what characteristics of the controllers or the aircrafts you wish to display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
