Just my dime to it, as the regular ATC at EDDF (+triangle): It is correct: A (nearly) realistic ATC'ing is only possible with FGCOM - and a nice effect of ATC'ing is, that people visiting us more often mostly switch to FGCOM -- except girls: Obviously we need a Synthesizer that can transform girls voice to male!! As an ATC you endure already a lot of bad language - for a girl it just seems to be not advisable at all to reveal that they are girls!!!
But to get people convinced to use/install FGCOM you first have to attract them - and for that you need MPchat. Also you need it to contact all "pilots" passing by in a normal, playing, non controlled, standard FGFS mode! You will never get ALL pilots (newbies or not) to switch frequencies every few minutes to make sure they notice an ATC trying to get their attention! Pilots do not do that in the real world either! So we do need MPchat - at least to tell those "fun"-pilots that there is an ATC and what is the FGCOM-frequency!! So I would not change the MPchat-mode of operation - even so it truly is a real pain when in the triangle up to 4 ATCs are talking to pilots being in MPchat-range of all 4 ATCs. On the other hand it is the very best propaganda for FGCOM. An even better propagation would be the integration of FGCOM-CODE into the FGFS release -- why can only OSX do that? All the best for FGCOM/MPchat/FGFS in the NewYear and to all of you jomo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
