More than just an ATC program
UTILITY ADD-ON FOR FSX, PREPAR3D AND X-PLANE
Last issue I looked at ATC for various sims. One of the programs I looked at was Pilot2ATC. This is a huge program and I felt after writing the previous article that it warranted a feature of its own. So, let’s take a look at this fascinating software and see what it really does.
More than just ATC
Pilot2ATC is best known for its replacement of the standard ATC systems of both FSX/ Prepar3D as well as X-Plane. To do this you’ll need a copy of FSUIPC for FSX/P3D or a copy of XUIPC for X-Plane. Having installed the software, you’ll find this is so much more than a replacement for ATC.
Alongside ATC there’s a flight planner, radio stack, multifunction display showing heading, frequencies, transponder and more, a chart viewer, a moving map, airport editor and radio trainer. Confused? I’ll admit it’s daunting at first glance. There’s a lot to do just to get set up. The developer acknowledges this and new users will find both a quick start guide alongside a comprehensive manual. In addition to this, there are plenty of tutorials produced by the developer that explain everything in clear language. That’s something I’m really happy to se…
