Thanks, Keith. I look forward to getting into it! Very soon!

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

Ok...got the controls in FSUIPC squared away for PTT. My last question concerns the addons and setup I use; I have a lot of aircraft related tweaks that I have implemented (realityXP garmins, shockwave lights, etc..) and also I use the saitek panel suite (radio, multi, switch) ...are there any ...

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

Excellent. That was what I was looking for! Thanks! The wifey just gave me approval for the full one-year membership; I will be going away on vacation in the next days so I will most likely sign up then for the trial, and then on to the full subscription!

....My next question...which FSUIPC ...

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

FSX. I am just wondering...how is the transponder changed? Is it via the client, or in my aircraft?

Orest, I am not sure what you are trying to say? Since I am not familiar with the software PE uses, I am a bit blind to how the PE controllers 'see' the xponder. Is it like a docked window showing ...

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

I am curious; What handles the transponder interaction...is it built into the client software or is it handled by the actual transponder in the aircraft?

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

Within the Pilotedge network, is it ok to depart VFR and fly practice precision and non-precision approaches at airports within the coverage area, or do I have to be on an IFR plan? Silly question, I kow, but in my Vatsim days I got scolded from a few folks for that :roll:

Re: Potential subscriber with a newbie Q

Thank you for the quick response, Keith. Very much appreciated. I am eyeing up the monthly subscription, but If my wife sees the real-world training benefits, I might get 'approval' for the one-year membership. I am getting started on my instrument rating, so there is a definite incentive. I am sure ...

I am a pilot currently using FSX as a training tool. I have been perusing the forums and believe this to be the most comprehensive and realistic online ATC environment I have seen yet for PC-based simulation. I am looking to join, but was wondering about how the sound portion of the service ...
