Great to hear of an update to an excellent product. I'm
personally wondering if somehow sound effects for
adventure traffic can somehow be enhanced. The actual
communications between ATC with the aircraft that you are
piloting are absolutely fine. In other ATC
communications, there lacks the certain sound effect that
is heard - the "hash", for lack of a better word. It
might be difficult to somehow enhance that radio traffic
for other aircraft to add that certain radio 'hash' that
exists. But perhaps MS programmers can find a way to add
this "effect" to that other aircraft/ATC radio traffic.
I note that previously, flight sim and add-on developers
simply used previously recorded radio ATC traffic with no
relation whatever to "actual" traffic. In FS2004, when
you are asked to hold on the runway, the aircraft on the
runway is exactly the carrier and type specified by the
controller. And, in flight, the traffic advisories are
of actual generated AI traffic and able to be visualized.
Also, in real-world flying, pilots are generally not
asked to identify traffic between their 9:00 O'Clock and
3:00 O'Clock BEHIND them, and I've been asked a few times
by the 'controllers' to acknowledge traffic at 7:00
O'Clock and 4:00 O'Clock which is not feasible,
considering our lack of X-ray vision.
Beyond that, I eagerly look forward to this release and
commend the staff at MS for an exceptionally superb
experience that is well worth the time and money for the
development of this hobby.
Thank you kindly,
