Makes it so much easier in VR that you essentially don’t ever need to see the Pilot2ATC window anyway (if you must there is MoveVR that does work, but it a real framerate drain - X-Plane MoveVR Plugin). ‘WS11 - Established on the ILS for 26R’ and then the co-pilot will read back any confirmation radio messages (plus change frequencies for you if you’re lazy like me). These two settings make a huge difference, as you can push to talk, say a command verbally, i.e. In VR that ain’t happening (well, not after the flight planning stage on the ground), but you can use it with the help of some really important co-pilot options. The last tip is that Pilot2ATC usually expects to be seen on a desktop on another monitor or something.

Here it is (use your own windows username of course): X:/Users//App Data/Roaming/HiFi/AS_XPL/Weather/current_wx_snapshot.txt The tricky bit was finding the Active Sky Weather folder. To do this, click in the ‘AI Aircraft’ at the top of the flight planner: Yes, you can now sit at 26L and hear ‘You are number 6 for takeoff’ and ‘Traffic alert, 3 o’clock, 270 - do you have them in sight?’. This allows Pilot2ATC to ‘see’ the aircraft, as they are X-Plane AI (minus slow drawing model) which means we get TCAS and routing. To fix that you can add ‘dummy AI’ aircraft, that World Traffic 3 draws but X-Plane uses a tiny one line icon for. One problem is that Pilot2ATC doesn’t know about the WT3 external traffic. So the goal is to get them all to play nicely.

It doesn’t really do this that well so far, but it is certainly an upgrade over the default clouds and winds. I really only wanted it for the ability to do historical weather, but the feature that caught my eye was in being able to plan a route and have the weather transition better. More info here - World Traffic 3 for X-PlaneĪctive Sky XP | HiFi Simulation Technologies Active Sky XP was recently on sale, so I picked it up. World Traffic takes a lot of setting up (a post of its own) but once using the AFRE Real traffic data pack here things look alive. World Traffic I got fed up with empty skies and my system crawling to its knees with 3 AI flights. I use it in VR via a button here - X-Plane VR Push to Talk and a general overview here - Pilot2ATC. The speech recognition (all Windows stuff underneath) is great.

It’s good because it is nice at both ‘do some patterns at the local field’ GA plus the full IFR SID/J way transitions/STAR of the heavies. I really enjoy jumping to IFR Route Analyzer - FlightAware entering a common route and then setting it up in Pilot2ATC. It provides the missing GA and IFR ATC communications so sorely missing in X-Plane. Despite the crimes against humanity of the home page web design, behind that facade there is a really nice ATC and speech input/output tool. My latest pain has been getting the following to all talk to each other:

My sub-conscious plan seems to be to keep adding stuff until the PC starts burning like blow-torch thrown at a magnesium depot. It might seem intimidating at first but once you get a grip, it's a breeze.I think I have a masochistic streak when it comes to X-Plane and trying to break it. It got a lot easier with the aircraft installer I posted above, but you still have to work through the manual. Yes, it takes some time to setup, and you will need to generate (via dropdown menu in X-Plane, or download) ground routes (the routes aircraft travel from runway to gate and back) for every airport you want to use it with. You can easily have a few dozen AI planes without losing more than maybe a single frame per second, it's very efficient. It also has autogenerated traffic (as opposed to real life traffic), which is very light on frames. Live traffic doesn't work on the ground, so if you want realistic aircraft movement at a given airport, there's no way around World Traffic 3.

It is most certainly better than the free Live Traffic plug-in. "Live schedules" are not important to me, however some airport activity would be welcome. The Live Traffic program seems to be a very intensive undertaking and many folders, which I am trying to steer away from after coming from MFS and P3D. There are others that post in this forum who, as you, seem to know what they are talking about. Being a relative newcomer to Xplane 11, could you tell me if this program is comparable to the Live Traffic program that I just learned of in a recent post on this forum? I find your posts are very helpful to me on a wide range of topics.
