Depth Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Web based ATC simulator, a lot of texting involved but very addictive once you grasp the commands. Really taxes your ability to solve several problems at once, and coincidentally your keyboard skills :D http://atc-sim.com/ For the first few go's set the airport to Dubai and realism to easy. Command examples for flight UAE155: UAE155 C 2 - Cleared for 2000 feet UAE155 C 10 - Cleared for 10000 feet (any 1 or 2 digit number = height in 1000 feet) UAE155 C 190 - Cleared for heading 190 (any 3 digit number = heading) UAE155 C MAXMO - Cleared to divert to VOR station Maxmo (for diverting flights. Leaves your list and screen, must be at least altitude 4000 to hand over) UAE155 T - Cleared for takeoff (clearance for altitude must be given prior) UAE155 L 12R - Cleared to land runway 12R (must be below 3000 feet AGL and be on proper glidescope) Less vital but still very useful commands: UAE155 C 190 L - Turn Left to heading 190 UAE155 C 190 R - Turn Right to heading 190 (suffix can be added to any command) UAE155 C 2 EX - Cleared for 2000 feet, expedite (twice the climb or fall rate) UAE155 S 400 - Set airspeed 400 knots (Any 3 digit number, I usually instruct outbound planes to 450 which is close to the actual planes cruising speed) UAE155 H - Taxi and hold at start of runway UAE155 A - Abort landing SCALE - shows map scale markers, rings of 5 nm Planes must be seperated either laterally by 1 nm or vertically by 3000 feet. Happy controlling :thumbup: Edited February 7, 2012 by Depth [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
effte Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 3 nm/1000 ft, if it is the same as in the real world. I think that's the one a mate of mine held the world highscore in forever... but he's a RL ATCO (meaning way too much time to waste on messing with it, rather than having benefit from training... :D). ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
Depth Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Haha yep, it's 3nm lateral 1000 feet vertical, I got my numbers reversed. Which for someone somewhere is lethal :joystick: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
