It would be nice to have an option to disable the in-game ATC. I use a third-party ATC program (beyond ATC and Say Intentions) so simply changing the radio freq doesn’t work. It’s annoying to hear the in-game ATC give me directions and the third-party program give me directions. Either a complete ATC disable option or at the least a separate audio slider to mute the in-game ATC.
Isn’t there a voices slider in the sound settings? There is in 2020. Slide it to zero.
There is a slider for voice, but by putting it to zero, you lose all voices. Co Pilot, cabin crew, etc. I would like to just disable the ATC, not everything else.
You might try starting a flight in Free Flight anywhere at the airport before filing a plan. Just set a departure but not an arrival. Then once at the airport use the EFB to create a plan and send it to avionics. But don’t file it to ATC. Or use your third party plan. See if that works. But yeah I see your point that would be a good option.
That’s an idea I didn’t think of. Send the flight plan to avionics but not ATC. I currently create the flight plan in simbrief (required for the third party programs) and import it into the sim so it’ll show on the avionics. Didn’t think to not send to ATC. I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the idea.
Make sure copilot controlling ATC is off in assistance options or it’ll still try to give you vfr commands. I find making a flight plan in web interface at planner.flightsimulator.com a lot easier and the opening the plan in the EFB. Then send to avionics. To be honest it’s hard to deal with this sim its got so many bugs, hard to complete a flight that doesn’t go wrong somewhere. Good luck.
I agree! @devores, is that the same as this item: Disable ATC in Career Mode
If so, can you merge it?
