Hi,
As I indicated to Ron Kolesar, SuperATC appears to be far too complex for
most users. I will be creating another ATC system for BVI users that is
less demanding.
SuperATC was created as a training tool. Its design objective was to FORCE
users to read the instructions and to have them follow the procedures in a
precise manner. For example, using:
Arlanda ground
1123 heavy
IFR clearance to kastrup
ready to copy
is incorrect syntax. Referring to the SuperATC documentation:
http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/satc.asp<view-source:http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/satc.asp>
when contacting Clearance Delivery, the LONG FORM of identification is
required. In addition, the destination airport needs to be defined by its
ICAO; not by its name.
So, assuming the airline is Pacifica, the correct syntax is:
Arlanda Ground
Pacifica 1123 Heavy
IFR Clearance to Echo Kilo Charlie Hotel
Ready to Copy
In any case, as I stated at the top of this post, SuperATC as a training
tool, is far too restrictive for BVI use. The commands need to be precise.
What is needed is a system where one can use, for example...
Hello Ground
1123 Heavy
I want clearance to Copenhagen
I'm ready when you are
...and it will still work.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Robert
