Advise on correct comms procedure for being switch between multiple approach frequencies please

The Check In feature serves two primary functions on Infinite Flight:

1.) Requesting Flight Following from the first radar controller you contact when you have an acceptable flight plan.

For the purpose of this tutorial, Departure, Approach, and Center are radar facilities.

2.) Advising a radar controller that you are on their frequency after being switched by a previous radar controller.

The goal of using multiple frequencies is to lighten the workload of all the controllers envolved. If you simply check in when handed from one Radar controller to the other, not on initial contact with your first radar controller you will help in doing that. Read more as to why the controller would be able to know what service you requested from the other radar controller here:

IFATC Approach Strategies Tracking Thread

On the expert server we’re allowed/able to have multiple frequencies open at one airport. We’ve had 2 grounds, 2 towers and 2/3 approach frequencies opened in the past. It’s become more common. Any aircraft landing on runway 24R would go to the North controller and any aircraft landing on runway 25L would go the South controller. All aircraft would be handed off on downwind so that Final approach has enough time. We use the data tags to determine this and to let eachother know what we’re doing…
