Re: Integrated ATIS for Pilotedge

There is 0% chance of introducing an ATIS system that involves the use of frequencies other than the ones published for the airport. Similarly, 0% chance of implementing a system that requires the user to file a flight plan when wouldn't be required in real life. Copied, fair enough. The idea of Pi...

Re: Instructions after SID (I-6 Rating)

Are you sure the clearance was "direct SLI" or rather SLI8 departure, SLI, direct (or similar). The latter does not instruct you to go direct SLI, but it serves as a clearance to go direct KSNA if you don't get any other instructions/vectors upon reaching SLI. At least that's how I underst...

Re: Call final controlled airport

I'm curious about the best go around procedure depending on your position in the pattern? I guess when being on final, you would just climb back to pattern altitude and turn crosswind asap to join the pattern and stay clear of runway heading. But what if I'm on the base leg and didn't get cleared wh...

Re: Integrated ATIS for Pilotedge

In many places (especially within ZLA) the “nearest airport” would be the wrong airport when picking up the arrival ATIS. I experimented wih something like that when I attempted to build a web page that would “auto select” the ATIS based on your reported position. That's a problem, of course, it wo...

Re: Integrated ATIS for Pilotedge

I could imagine offering a universal ATIS frequency similar to using 122.00 with Active Sky Next on FSX/P3D, which works on any airport. The PE plugin would then need to choose the ATIS message to be played by comparing the users lat/long with the nearest airport. That would of course compromise the...

Re: What is a demerit?

PE is (among other things) a training environment, so it's only natural that mistakes happen. The goal is that you a) realize your mistake and b) learn how to avoid it in the future. You won't get kicked out or even banned because of making mistakes. Deliberately doing wrong things (a.k.a trolling) ...

Re: PE Virtual Airlines?

Unfortunately no. Real life raised it's ugly head and I was never able to get it started.
I have the initial concept set up on my HDD (though tailored to the "old" ZLA-only PE), so maybe I'll get to it when there's more time to spare.
