Poll: Type of ATC instructions you prefer
Also, it would help out if you post what your stance is on the following:
- Filing of flight plans before an ATC event
- Use of squawk codes
- Use of taxiway designators when a certain map has them available, and the airport layout with taxiway markers is easily available (i.e. you can just go to a website and view the airport diagram)
This is not to suggest that we are changing anything to a VATSIM type deal, merely gathering some feedback from you guys to see whether we can host two types of ATC events - realistic as well as simplified (current).
This poll will run for 20 days, so you don't have to post a response immediately. Thank you for your input.

Re: Poll: Type of ATC instructions you prefer
Thats the main thing i think we would need from an ATC, telling which waypoint to fly, and what heading...

Re: Poll: Type of ATC instructions you prefer
Definitely agree with this. I'm an average word-per-minute typist so it is tricky to maintain flight and type in F12, especially if I'm in the climbout/descent stage. I use a mouse to fly so yeah, I totaly get that. I know VATSIM controllers use text chat also to communicate, so they must be really good typists for some of the instructions, like taxi instructions and clearances.KM6BZH wrote:I think the good thing about realistic ATC is that it is more accurate. However, realistic ATC is hard to do with YSFlight's F12 chat, and not everyone uses discord, our primary communication (voice) method.
Not sure that there is a good middle ground in YS Flight however.

Oh well if atc clear the ifr flight plan file he could input it to ys planner so he could tell the pilot all things like heading, attitude, and speed...

Re: Poll: Type of ATC instructions you prefer
If it were updated so that the radar moves with the client aircraft and ability to mooz and zoom then it would make advanced ATC really easy to follow.
But as of now having to dial every vor as you pass thru it is a challenge especially if the next one is out of range. I guess you could use Nav Planner but again on big maps it lags, but still useable. Maybe make a simple .Flds for maps with just generic polygon outlines and only ils and vors so it's easier to use?
Also my biggest obstacle when and if I control is having to multitask as in Manning Arrivals and departure, twr and ground. In many past events with few controllers many were placed in multiple airports. Yeah once everyone is in the air it's pretty slow but once everyone starts landing or taking off all at the same time it's an adventure. Maybe it's just me and I need more practice.

My knowledge is limited. Anything I write in my posts may or may not be accurate. To be honest I think its all crap.
