Thanks Stuart for the explanation - and I guess I understand now how it shall work in an event with a group of people having the same goals and settings (e.g. TGA). Although I still see the possibility that some (younger or older) kids "try to show off" by changing their "grade" and making as much trouble as possible - but that is a minor concern. So: Fine for them!
I also understand that the ATC can choose which people he wants to deal with - and as ATC that would be great news for me (if I would believe that people do not manipulate their grades! But I see that as a minor concern!). But still I do not understand how that works for the users in an "open ATC environment", e.g. just dropping in at EDDF on her/his flight from EHAM to LSZH. What do they see? Does ATC tell them while approaching the airport to set certain filters and or grades? Because also for the "just passing by users" it would be rather confusing suddenly seeing traffic that ATC did not see/control. I experience that problem very often, when visitor come in or depart with AI-traffic-manager enabled -- they suddenly get hit -- and blame ATC for a "very bad work"! Again: I am not so much concerned about the "group of people who know already" -- but the people "we" want to attract to join in!" -- and that "we want them" I Would stress - not the "if they want to join" By the way: I would not take KSFO as a measure - it is (and should remain) the "Default-Startup" for all - thus it will be the starting place for everybody doing his first or second try. I really believe if somebody wants to fly in an "orderly" fashion he should not try to do that at KSFO! I know the amount of traffic there my tempt ATC's to go there - but to change that is not realistic/wanted (in my eyes). joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
