hi ..I wonder what the best available for the atc fs2004..can be paid..cheers

My favorite by far is Pro Flight Emulator and there is also Radar Contact. I like PFE better because it has far more regional voice sets for the controllers and AI pilots than does RC, which increases the realism and immersion factors for me, and works seamlessly with their other "must have" (IMHO) software, Flight Deck Companion. However, I used Radar Contact for quite a long time though, and there are many here who will argue with me that it is superior. With either one, I don't feel you can lose.However, for true realism there is nothing that can compare to the ATC provided by websites like VATSIM and LIVE ATC, which have their own, completely different limitations. (I have never used them myself for various personal reasons.)Hope this helps.

but it is possible to fly offline with Pro Flight Emulator ...and senao jamming planes ai-traffic as with the atc default?so there's no other to ai-traffic flight and offline flight?

No!Vololiberista

not understand...Pro Flight Emulator is to fly online or offline?

Offline

for this program is necessary to have the afcad's with crosswind runways or the program sends planes for several different runways?

Offline. (Although I personally implement ProFlight2000/PFE on a secondary computer through SimConnect or WideFS).You may have sighted AI traffic, or turn it off in your FS options. You can also hear other virtual air traffic communication provided by PFE, set the level you desire, or turn it off.In my personal opinion, ProFlight2000/Proflight Emulator is just about worth it to just have the ATC Ground taxi communication. It is one of my favorite contributions to FlightSim and I would not fly without it.I would suggest that you take a look at the "Oncourse" forum on this site. There you will find many comments and replies relative to PFE.You might also like to see the distributor's writeup also at: http://secure.simmarket.com/aerosoft-onlin...or-deluxe.phtmlGood luck:RTH

Just to ensure there's no confusion here... if you select to use PFE's AI Traffic chatter then what you hear is based on what the FS AI traffic around you are doing. If you turn this option off then PFE will generate 'virtual' traffic chatter but only the 'chatter', it does not generate actual AI traffic.

i use ai-traffic...the program improve to the best management of ai-traffic?for exemple..in chicago o

Does PFE have a co-pilot like Radar Contact that will handle communications enroute so you can walk away and do the dishes, cook dinner, kick the dog etc etc?And does it also have an "auto pause" like Radar Contact, whereby the sim will pause at a certain distance that you decide?Andy

yes and yes... You can autopause at XXX miles. There are even Co-Pilot Modes that allow him to take control while you are away. I haven't tried this mode personally and I would imagine it is better suited for default aircraft but the option is there. You can have the co-pilot do nothing (you are in total control) co-pilot controls radios only, or co pilot controls radios and flies...There is a lot of flexibility. I also like the option to request a different runway than assigned and for me the kicker is actually the ambiance and hearing UK controllers over the UK, Asian controllers in Asia, US controllers in the US etc... There are times it really sounds more like liveatc.com than FS!Just my .02 :)-PaulPS... I hope the dog bites your foot! ;) LOL

Some questions from me too. I would have searched for it myself, but find myself to busy right now to go look...1) Can I save flights in PFE, so that O can continue later where I left off? This is a feature available in RC and it is of vital importance to me.2) How is it with IFR flights? I once upon a time heard it's quite good for VFR, but for IFR/airline flying it's less suited than RC. Is this correct to some extent?3) Something with already said about this, but I didn't quite understand. In RC, AI seems to be handled by default ATC or something like that. Does PFE handle AI? I mean, does it tell AI what to do, like default ATC does?A situation sketch:I fly the PMDG 747 from Amsterdam in the Netherlands to, say, Ben Gurion Tel Aviv in Israel. I use a specific SID and STAR, of course, and all other IFR related operations and procedures. The flight is five hours. When leaving at the gate, I get IFR clearance and taxi directions to the runway in a realistic way (although, to be honest, I'm quite content with what default ATC does, too...). After three hours, I am above Greece or so, but its dinner time and I have to quit flight simulator. That's for day 1.It's day two now, and I continue with my flight. I fly on, but oh god! An engine fails, and I need to declare an emergency. I do so, and am directed to an alternate airport. AI is being handled in such a way that it doesn't interfere with my deteriorating situations. In the end, I get my plane down safely, and Ground control directs me to a ramp in a realistic way.So, question: will I be able to perform such a flight? Or, perhaps in other words: Is PFE a complete replacement for default ATC, or are there things in PFE that are ommitted, like RC doesn't seem to handle AI itself.EDIT: Been going over the feature list on the PFE website: Wow... So basically: can I save flights with PFE and continue them later? If I choose to do long haul flights with the PMDG 747, you can't expect me to sit 12 hours straight behind me computer...EDIT2: Confused once more: in its current state, does PFE just do AI Traffic detection, or also actual interaction (i.e., giving commands that the AI responds to and executes)?

Hey Benjamin...I will look at the save flight option. I am fairly certain 99.9% that is something that Dave added and I believe it is an option you check to run in the background so that even if FS crashes PFE will resume your flight (if you choose to). As for IFR, I think it is very good but I am not a RW Pilot. It simulates Oceanic Clearance, step climb profiles, in fact all the flights I use it for are long distance IFR flights and I am extremely satisfied. For the airports I fly to regularly I set up SID/Star transitions and PFE will clear me to fly the STAR and my CP will contact tower automatically once established on Final. As for ground commands it offers verbal turn by turn taxi instructions from your CP (the way I do it) or a gauge that can be added to your panel for visual guidance.As for AI, PFE merely detects what the AI is doing and verbalizes it to you as well as giving you enroute traffic advisories. It does not control the AI although I do think Dave freezes it on landing (again, not positive) but it detects what the AI is doing and you hear the commands. You will hear AI being given takeoff clearance, as well as altitude and heading assignments but I don't think PFE is actually controlling the AI if that makes sense... So it is detection and interaction but not sure of total control...Hope that helps! -Paul
