Looks like there's some METAR-driven visibility control included in the new 3rd party ATC solution ...

Aerofly FS2 RC ATC available for download (trial or purchase)

I was following Karl's flight planning how-to and couldn't click CREATE in step 12 below because of the departure airport error.

Will Little Navmap work if I don't have FSX installed?

I'm getting a "Mandatory departure airport not found" when it tries to read the route description that I copied from SkyMap.

Is there a demo video available as cannot find anything on YouTube?

He has 3 demo videos linked on his website's home page - the demo link is on the lower part of the page.

Karl, you may want to update your original post to include your new website link so new visitors to this link will find the website in the first post.

I suppose it would be possible to essentially memorize response choices for each phase of flight thus not needing the menus.

Exactly - program a rocker switch on the HOTAS. I'd prefer not to see any additional info displayed in the VR view anyway

Karl, will using ATC while in VR crash FS2 or is it just that no ATC-related info will be displayed in VR?

Here's the YouTube demo video posted in the other thread ... YouTube link to demo flight video - it has some "automated" sound to it but there are different voices and there are voice inflections to give it some variety. Probably better than your old version.

i will use it with voicebot, for me it works better then voiceattack

What problems did you have with voiceattack?

FYI, the Samsung Odyssey has built-in microphones.

Any chance you've explored VoiceAttack as an interface option for FS2 ATC VR ? It would add to the FAV immersion

So in truth or may or may not happen then?

Sorta of like an ATC go-around possibility

Quote from 787GTR

but I still cannot figure it out

I've noticed 2 possible things that help FS2 performance:

1) only cultivation within a ~6km radius of your aircraft is rendered

2) the lighting/shadow engine only processes from a single point of light (sun or moon) - this is why street lights and landing lights don't illuminate the ground nearby

Quote from Ortac

possible by linking two computers

Jeff, he was also thinking more than 1 PC ... maybe if/when multi-player enters the picture, co-pilot would then be possible.

Tonight, the Ohio State University Marching Band (well-known for its halftime show animations) preformed a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Apollo Space program (Neil Armstrong was born in Ohio) ...

+1 for lots of room lighting.

Jake, that's my favorite MI opening scene ... THAT'S THE WRONG DOOR!!!

QF10, I think one trick that works is to start FS2 then start on the runway of each airport on your intended route (last airport first) to load all the lights into memory. Then when you take-off to actually fly the route, I think all the lights will be on (no popping as you fly).

If you exit FS2, what's in memory is flushed so when you re-start FS2, only the nearby TSC files and lights are loaded. As Jake mentioned, the popping will depend on what the scenery author used for SIZE for their TSC files (5000 = 5km or 3 miles, 50000 = 50km or 30 miles).

If you have the South Florida DLC, you can try the lighted radio towers add-on which uses a large SIZE value so you can see the blinking lights from very far away - https://flight-sim.org/filebas…-south-florida-tl-add-on/

My bet is it's some recent custom scenery / objects you've added.

I also have a GTX1080 / WMR combo (Samsung WMR), try these settings:

• Texture: ultra
• Terrain mesh: high
• Terrain image: high
• Shadow: medium
• Building: low
• Tree: low
• VR render scale: 1.50

Also, turn cumulus cloud density off / low - it's okay to use some cirrus cloud density (25%) at high altitude (75%)
