Do you remember ATC in solo mode?

Like 2 years ago in solo you had the option to turn on ATC. Why was this taken out of the game a d did you guys like it?

Tecnam2TA · January 23, 2017, 9:58pm

It was just background noises. Became quite annoying in my option because it was repetitive. Didn’t serve much purpose.

Lx_D · January 23, 2017, 10:00pm

Yes I remember it would just keep saying…“resume and navigate”

Chatta290 · January 23, 2017, 10:02pm

I never remember that until someone reminds me 😂 I don’t really play solo but I rmeber when I did before Live that it was pretty annoying

DeerCrusher · January 23, 2017, 10:05pm

I agree, it did get annoying after awhile

Tim_B · January 23, 2017, 10:19pm

I don’t remember it, but I’ve played other sims that have it and it’s only the same 3 comms repeated over and over. If it was anything like that, then removing it would be the “feature” in my opinion.

Ohhhhh, I loved that noise. I would sometimes just sit in a 172 at KSAN and listen to it. Ah such good memories!

Tecnam2TA · January 23, 2017, 10:29pm

Just go to http://www.liveatc.net if you enjoy listening to ATC. If you’re gonna listen to it, listen to content that’s live and not repeating every two minutes. Just my outlook.

Lgsfly · January 23, 2017, 10:31pm

Yeah plus sometimes IRL I will go and just sit in my plane, turn on the avionics and listen to it right there at the airfield.

Tecnam2TA · January 23, 2017, 10:36pm

Same here. Nothing better than being there in person listening and observing. Also when I am near an airport and not actually in a plane, I’ll tune in on my handheld radio. Much better than the background ATC sounds that used to be in IF. They got rid of them for a reason!

Lgsfly · January 23, 2017, 10:41pm

yes very true

AR_AR · January 23, 2017, 11:20pm

Yes you can find old videos that have the old sounds.

CannedAviation · January 23, 2017, 11:22pm

I miss the old ATC background ambiences back in the days…

PlaneCrazy · January 23, 2017, 11:57pm

Yes, It was nice. I wish we still had it.
It’s like the space shuttle or the solo achievements.
If you have a feature why do you get rid of it?

Chatta290 · January 24, 2017, 12:09am

Because it doesent fit in with what FDS wanted, most planes are high quality and realistic so why keep the unrealistic space shuttle for a flight sim?

The battery in your plane must die often then.

Jay_Dykstra · January 24, 2017, 2:36am

I honestly really enjoyed it but they may have taken it out to promote live.

Lgsfly · January 24, 2017, 3:02am

No I have it hooked up to ground power.

Samet_Ozturk · January 24, 2017, 5:33am

Omg yes it was so annoying

Riley · January 24, 2017, 6:29am

I didn’t mind it when I didn’t have live. I used to memories some of it 😂
