a proposal for runway-use

1

Hello

I have been playing this game for a month now, I’m 5 planes away from level 2. When I get to level 2 or level 3 (expert), will there be an actual ATC controller managing takeoffs and landings? Bc at level 1 even when I’m connected on ‘causal’ but runways are like a free market; most of people don’t pay attentions to ATC requests and such… will there be a function for using only one direction of the runway at a time rather than randomly choosing any direction to land or take off? Yesterday, when I was approaching the runway, about 13-15nm away from a touch-down, a little Cesena just popped out on the runway without any ATC notifications!!! yes, it’s fun, it’s just a game, but ummm… just wondering when I get to level 2 or 3, would connected ATC get to be more pro-kind of everything?

Thank you

Please ignore if you think the question is stupid

The question is absolutely not stupid, and I’ll answer you:

Yes, in the training and expert servers real people can be ATC controllers, on the Expert server, these controllers have gone through training by the IFATC so it has a more pro feeling.
IFATC controllers broadcast an ATIS to give information regarding RWY usage and restrictions in the airport.

However, the ‘unicom’ technology can also be found in the Training and Expert servers when there are no controllers around, and it get get messy at times.
