All - Have talked to real pilot about ATC, he turned his off at game install year ago, does not have these kids of problems. YES, that precludes I think real world traffic notifications, but you won’t get those annoying ATC issues. Flying into Nashville, TN, 10 miles out, 747, climb and maintain 18,000 feet, you are assigned xx runway. Now how in the XXXX am I going to get down to elevation about 500 feet and land being directed to FL18. ATC is so hosed up, it’s unbelievable. Going to turn it off, (will lose some realism) but have more hair on head as it will grow back in.
He also recommended a little free program called “PMS50-GTM-750 Navigation” I installed it and trying to learn it now. Once you create FP in it, transfers direct to AP, no world map needed. I have not checked but assume you can do it on ground, and have FP in plane and initialize once stable. Testing in F-14 today. Using it will mess up my Cold and Dark 747 Checklist I have created, so going to test, and maybe offer the world map version and the GTM-750 version in the narrative. THe FMC inputs would still have to be input and or checked prior to TO.
