and the menus can also be popped out from X-Plane simulator itself for the use on a custom cockpit layout.

Menus can be transparent (default) or with a solid background. You have two menu option panels with 'Control Panel' and 'Nearby Facilities' The X-ATC Chatter dropdown menu is located in the X-Plane menu. Note the Universal frequencies are the standard Automatic terminal information service, or ATIS frequencies. In the Regions folder, there are the seven regions in: Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, Oceania, South America and United States, these zones are then broken down to controllers in those regions and then the different types of radio communications in App (Approach), Clr (Clearance), Ctr (Control), Dep (Departure), Dep_Gnd (Departure ground), Dep_Twr (Departure Tower), Dep_Uni (Departure Universal), Dest_Gnd (Destination ground), Dest_Twr (Destination Tower) and Dest_Uni (Destination Universal).

for Pilot2ATC you have to install the region (sound) files directly into the Pilot2ATC application and each of the different regions sound folder and there is an excellent video covering the slightly complex installation, as for the direct X-Plane version you just move the complete X-ATC Chatter folder to your X-Plane/resources/plugins folder. Installation is different for each application. One is to intergrate it directly into Pilot2ATC for background chatter while you are online and conversing with the ATC controllers (It does go quiet when you are in contact with the controller!) or as a stand alone plugin with pop up panels and menu. could X-Plane have such a tool or plugin? well it does with Stick and Rudder Studio's 'X-ATC Chatter'. Now that would be interesting and also give the cockpit a bit of in-flight life. The European area is interesting because you will have all these very different native accents, in Greek, Italian, Swiss and French. So my thoughts were, as I am flying over these controlled airspaces then why not in hearing the usual ATC ground to flight chatter. and VATSIM that has been around for ages. Laminar Research are rebuilding the ATC from the ground up and the early signs will mean that it will be very good, but that ATC feature may well be a year or two away, if even as part of X-Plane12's features, however X-Plane v11.30 does have the new ATC voice system.Ĭurrently the online ATC systems for X-Plane is 'Pilot2ATC' which is excellent but costs US$60. The X-Plane default ATC is beyond average, but it does hand you over to the next FIR region, but overall the ATC is pretty dire. So as I was flying over Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France to the UK I had no contact with any of these FIR's, hence the quiet part of the flight. So as you fly across several countries or states you will be 'handed' over to the next FIR or control zone, as you reach the boundary of the current one, Europe FIR's are split between countries, but are still overall covered by the central ECAC member states, so that effectively that puts it all under one control authority called 'Euro Control' based in Brussels. Flight Information Regions (wikipedia)Īll FIR's have the built in ALRS 'Alerting Service (aviation)' and are divided into upper and lower zones (note on the X-Plane local map the upper and lower routes).

FIR's cover the whole globe and the full list (worth printing out) is here. USA (below left) and Europe (below right).

These FIR's mostly cover a single country or different regions of bigger countries, as the UK has three in England, Scotland and Ireland, notably the USA has a lot of CAN/FIR regions. Over the route you cover a lot of ground, but also a lot of airspace regions, of which are called FIR's or 'Flight Information Regions'.

But this was a four and a half hour flight and although the images out of the cockpit windows were quite spectacular at times, it was otherwise quite quiet in the cockpit. I was flying Rotate's MD88 from LGRP (Rhodes) to EGKK (Gatwick UK) and about mid-flight over the Adriatic Sea I was feeling a bit lonely, nothing wrong as the flight was excellent and everything was running lovely and smoothly.
