UKJim 502 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I heard about RC4 and it looks good but from what I have read it seems aimed at IFR flights! Is it any good for VFR? Or is there any other ATC addon that wud work better for VFR? Thanks! Jim Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 995 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 No. It does not do VFR. Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah thought not! Ah well I won't be getting that then Cheers Tim Link to post Share on other sites
TedG 0 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 VATSIM ....or IVAO. If you are inclined to give online flight a try. Although you would need to make yourself comfortable with departing/landing/transitioning controlled airspace when a live controller is not online (same goes for IFR). Having read in other threads where you like to fly I can tell you that Seattle Center (covering KSEA/KPDX for a couple hundred mile radius) is usually available in the GMT prime time. Once I started online flight I never looked back. I only use AI ATC for review purposes these days. **edit**the price is also quite good.....free Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks but I only ever do offline flight! Just wondered if there was a better 'fuller' ATC other than default that wud be useful for VFR Cheers anyways Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 The VoxATC website link says: VoxATC supports all aspects of Visual Rules flight. Maybe Jess-B can confirm this... Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Doesn't VoxATC eliminate all AI traffic or require you to turn it off, or something along those ines? Am I imagining that I read that somewhere? John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 John - I haven't used VoxATC, but their site says: VoxATC generates its own AI traffic and controllers I understand that Jess recently did a review of VoxATC - that's why I thought she could help...

mutley 4,487 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Jack is pretty much up with VoxATC as well Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Quote VoxATC generates its own AI traffic and controllers Audio only, or actual visible AI aircraft? Not seeing other AC would pretty lame. Paying for traffic programs and not having the benefit of them but instead seeing whatever VoxATC sees fit to provide doesn't sound like the hot setup to me either. Traffic is very important to me and I'm not going to be keen on anything that eats into that in any way. I admit to being partial to RC and haven't tried VoxATC, so maybe it's better than I've been lead to believe. Where is Jess' review? John Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Firth 114 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Maybe try looking over at CIX VFR club? http://www.cixvfrclub.org.uk/index.php They do flying training for Vatsim, regular online group flights and have several controllers who do ATC for them.....

UKJim 502 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wow resurrection lol! I have to plus 1 on the above - I joined the club and now fly vatsim vfr all the time. It's not as scary as you would think after a few flights. I also bought RC4 but never used it lol - waste of money I know. Maybe I'll give it a go at a later date Still cannot get over the 2012 topic coming alive again haha. Link to post Share on other sites
