ATC wish

[CAT_101st]

I have added a few landing aircraft to some of my missions. Just to add a little trafic at the air port. The guys in my groop enjoy this but the problem is the ATC will give clirance for TO even if a AI is on final aproch. The ATC realy needs some improving I hope in the next DCS releas that you take some time and add to the ATC. In my opinion it is a vital part of flying. DCS is doing great at keeping the motto of the aircraft 95% acurate, But with out the acurate world for the aircraft to go in it is meaning less.

I know DCS is a evolving world and I just want it to be all that it can be/shuld be. Keep up the good work. I do so enjoy your eforts at the best sim aircraft in the world. :thumbup:

1 up for that, I sure they have to remodeled a bit to make a perfect sim

It would be good if they improved the ATC. Also if they gave T/O clearance before you entered the runway. Plus if there were airport vehicles or at least something to stop the blocks you get with two conflicting aircraft.

As an ex-Army Air Traffic Controller I agree 100% with Cat 101st.

 

Getting a T/O clearance before you hit the runway is problematic, most controllers do not want to give up that last minute ability to check the situation before giving a clearance. You'd be surprised at what happens between "taxi to and hold short of runway X" and "cleared for takeoff". Overturned cups of Starbucks, and mis-tuned radios/navaids have delayed a lot of T/Os causing a @$#! load of problems on the active.

What I mean is when you are holding short. At the moment you taxi onto a runway. Request clearance. Then you get told an aircraft is landing and you're in the middle of the runway.

Lol now i understand...yeap that could be a problem

The only way to get Take Off clearance in the sim is to hold short on the taxiway and request it. They will deny you clearance if your on the runway when requested, or not answer at all:)

 

I use ATC all the time in the Sim and really the only trouble I have is in MP with AI not taking off but thats more mission editor workaround.

That's strange, maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I can get clearance to take-off when holding short on the taxiway and don't have to taxi on the runway. At least in Vaziani it works perfectly.

Sometimes ATC will not clear you for takeoff when there is another flight on final, sometimes they will (i think it depends on the type of plane, possible bug?) It would be good if they could improve atc some more.
