Hi guys! I have some noob questions:

1.How can i force drones and other pilots to be shown with low-poly models? Its nice when few guyz fly the MilViz Baron simultaneously but... its impact my FPS.

2. Is it necessary for me to listen all the freq's simultaneously? I guess its strange to hear the KSBP TWR when taxiing in KONT on 121.9

3. About weather... Im confused with situation when im cruising VFR at 9500 from KONT to L35 and there is a clouds from the 7000 to 12000 over the big bear lake.
I know that there is no obstacles on the way and im sure that i will jump out from the cloud right infront of RWY, but i guess its not correct to do that. What have i do then?

Hello,

1) I'll leave this for someone else to answer.

2) All of the frequencies are inherited into one ATC primary frequency. That means that we can monitor all of the frequencies and be able to transmit on all of them. You will in turn hear ATC talking to everyone but you will not hear other aircraft unless they are on your frequency and within radio range. In order for us to be able to work every sector and active frequency possible within our coverage area, it is necessary for you to at least hear ATC communications.

3) Are you asking whether or not it is acceptable to fly through the clouds while operating under VFR? You would need to remain in compliance with CFR 91.155 Basic VFR weather minimums. If you're instrument rated, you could receive a VFR-on-top clearance; however, if you do not have an instrument rating, you can climb to and remain above the clouds so long as the climb is executed in adherence to the aforementioned regulations. For more information, check this out.

For clarification on #2, you will hear all of the transmissions made by the controller to which you have tuned the radio. The controller is likely to be handling other frequencies as well (not necessarily all of them). This does happen in real life, too, just not on quite such a big scale.

1. The drones shouldn't be your Milviz Baron. They should be default barons.... In fact most the drones on my end (FSX) either don't exist for some reason or they are default planes like the cherokee, mooney, baron, 737 etc

Many thanks for your answers Guys!

Question #4:
Before making attempt for V-3 i was decided to fly short hop from KSNA to KVNY via coastal route.
And it was get much simplier than in V-3 transcription. Is it because i didnt announce the V3?

Question #5:
I see airports concrete glowing orange everytime when its foggy...
Like that in attach

What should i do for fix that?

Regarding Question 4...."announcing V3" is something you do once at the start of the test, then you are expected to make all of the calls you'd regularly make. People routinely assume that by announcing they're doing the test, they no longer have to explain to ATC what they'd like to do. Part of the point of the tests is to make sure you can clearly express your intentions with ATC.

The transcript is just an example, don't be too attached to it. What happened on your flight? Maybe we can help.

It shouldn't be much more complex then advising the radar controller that you'd like the coastal route. You'll eventually get a Bravo clearance...you should be at 6500 prior to entering the Bravo, per the chart...and the rest is as published. What transpired that didn't fit the flow I just described?
