I’m trying to open my ATC thread but I won’t give me the open to edit the post to open
Slightly confused. You are having troubles with forum or you’ve successfully opened it just now?
Just make a new topic. After a while It will just become uneditable

Or modify this one and use it as a thread:)

I made the little correct…thanks but how do you get the brackets to show open and closed
Just use your keyboard. On iOS it’s second character menu, on PC they are located below 9 and 0
Or copy these:

Good day… open practicing no pattern work 04 arrvls 13 Departure
Thank you for those who gave feedback and their time to pilot at my controlling
NOTAMS:
RWY 32 will handle 90 percent of Departures unless spawning gets crazy. Which means even if you are closer to RWY 34 or RWY 28 I most likely will still tell you to EXPECT RWY 32
RWY’s 32 & 34 will handle Arrivals and Departures.
No other runways will be in use EXCEPT for runway crossings or ⛽️ emergencies
Should an approach/Departure controller give vectors for any runway OTHER than 32 or 34 for inbounds I WILL issue a Go-Around so be prepared to execute a missed approach and be handed back to approach.
I do understand that because of my crazy traffic pattern and airport operations (which is not REAL LIFE) this may be boring for an approach controller but might be great for a Departure controller
Pattern work accepted for GA aircraft ONLY. If you just took off from the airport in a 777 don’t expect a landing clearance…remember ATC has a radar for a reason
A Flightplan would be greatly appreciated
I will treat all pilots who do not follow my instructions ( as long as my instructions are correct) as if they are on casual with NO ATC Service
I understand my operations are UNREALISTIC (as I stated in my NOTAMs and WAY too rescritive and and a JOKE in most or all OPINIONS)…should have stated that disclaimer to my pilots. My deepest apologies to any point that I am taking away from their experience while on IF.
Feedback is HIGHLY appreciated and welcome
You are too restrictive. You are providing a service to the pilots, they don’t provide a service to you. Limiting pilots to these audacious expectations is a bit of a joke.
These are all ridiculous statements, and lead to the user having a substandard time due to your over controlling nature.

If there is no app or Departure and the pilot contacts me on an GPS for RWY 10 or ILS RWY 28…expect to be IGNORED

Even with these HORRIBLE “LIMITATIONS” I will try to provide the best service I can (even though it’s crappy to experts)

I was doing some patterns in a C208 (Wizzair 202).I do really not understand, why you want to use rwy 32 for 90% of the traffic. There’s really no reason why you wouldn’t use 34 and 28. Okay, maybe 28 should get only arrivals but you have to work as efficient as you can and part of this is to use all available runways. We do so on Expert. Why would you allow Pattern work only for small GA planes? There’s no reason for that, too. And if you think that this is just too unrealistic, it’s not. If you get your typerating of the commercial aircraft you want to fly the fist thing you will do is pattern work… with an airliner. We accept pattern work with any aircraft on expert, too. Another thing is that if you ignore people who are “Inbound for landing, runway 28”, then why would you expect them, to look at the forum and search the thread for that airport only to see your NOTAMS. There are people with no account on the IFC, too. You simply cannot expect everyone to read this. Now about your controlling: The first thing every serious controller should know are the pattern legs. Here’s a picture of them: https://www.pea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Airport_traffic_pattern-cc-.jpg . You wanted me to extend my upwind leg while I was on downwind. That just doesn’t make sense. Another thing is that you should only use “I’ll call your base” when you have a big departure queue that you want to get rid of, before that pattern traffic turns inbound. This can be very useful in EGLC for example. As I switched to tower and asked for take off you gave me the LUAW (Line Up And Wait) command, while there was no traffic on the runway or that has just departed. We try to avoid the LUAW command and instead issue a clearance. I don’t know why, but you then let me sit on the runway for about a minute before issuing a takeoff clearance. For the runway change: I was on the upwind leg of rwy 32 and you gave me “Enter left base runway 34”. What you really want to say is that I should enter the left downwind of runway 34. And a minor thing: You don’t need to clear me for the option every time with “after the option, make left/right traffic”. You only need this with the takeoff clearance or when you assigned them another runway.
I hope that you will become someday IFATC.

I admit I’m a bit of a stick in the mud🤣…but I will give 🙏 to the pilots who do show up and to the Departure controller who assisted even with my DUMB operations understanding that my operations are set up for a Departure controller ESPECIALLY if they can do boring approach 😂😂
