Single Controller + Realism....

Post by Ryan B »

Per the March update thread I learned that I'll talk to one controller (while ZOA is opened) until the network grows...

Am I alone in my thinking that this sorta kills the realism?

Having three manning the different positions was really nice, and one of the reasons I chose this over vatsim.

Is PE likely to return to three within the year?

Ryan,

That's the case on w/ends while ZOA is open, and in the mornings.

It hasn't been 3 controllers since the beta, btw.

Fly midweek in the afternoon/evenings and you'll be good to go.

We're doing the best we can until the big commercial deals are here. We're nearly there :)

Everyone was clamoring for ZOA, we did what we had to do to make that happen. Controllers == money. I agree it's much less realistic...but having one guy work 39 towers is also not quite real world, and everyone was ok with it :)
