we are a french south-west club of flight simulator players. We want to do a controlled training flight, where one of the players will be the controller, while the others will fly.
However we do not find software allowing us to see the planes and the information in MSFS from a control post, as it existed for FSX or P3D.
It takes some setting up, but you could utilize https://events.flighttracker.tech/
If you click “Join” on the top right you can download the client and see what other features it has.
You can get even more information if you connect an ATC radar software (e.g. Euroscope, VRC, Aurora) to Flight Events. To do that, you just need to click “Start ATC Server” (and also VATSIM mode if you are using VRC) and connect your favorite ATC radar to “localhost”.
Some more info on ATC integration:
Discord channel switching based on active frequency in your ATC client
See aircraft information and flight plans in your radar scope
Edit flight plans and assignments and sync the modifications to other controllers
Volanta might be something to look into. You’ll be able to see all your friends on a map, and be able to click on them individually to see their current altitude, heading, and ground speed (though unfortunately you can’t see those values for all players simultaneously like you would on a regular ATC scope).
Little NavMap is excellent for so many things and ATC controlled sessions are entirely possible, but need users to run another small and free piece of software to transmit their position to the controller throuh LNM. We run ATC sessions every week, as we have done since year dot.
JoinFS
This one also allows cross platform use and can therefore show users running not only MSFS, but FSX, P3D, X plane and others.
Virtualflight online Transmitter
This is an excellent tool and the setup instructions are simple and elegant. It can also run at the same time as JoinFS too. It is available from virtualflight online or flightsim.to
You can create a myservers.txt file in My Documents/VRC (you should see a servers.txt file downloaded by VRC already there). In that file, just put in 127.0.0.1 localhost
