FSNav flightplan question.

(1/4) > >>

EHM-1838 Andrew:
Hello
Can i fly an FSNav flightplan without FS ATC and still use the ILS procedure for landing (without being given clearence by the FS ATC)and just entering the correct  rwy frequency?
Basically(yuk!)Can i fly without using ATC ?and land using the ILS.
cheers Andy

EHM-0654 Murray:
Definitely, but be aware that the FS ATC (and AI aircraft) won't just make a space for you because you're there... :)

EHM-2029 Sotiris:
And to add to Murray's comment, if you want to fly without ATC you can go to the traffic option and minimise the traffic density so that your chances of bumping into anyone are minimised.

Another tip (I've flown much like this!! ;D ) is that if you come across traffic (usually parked on the runway just as you're about to land) then forward the simulation rate to above 8x which will make all AI disappear. Reset down to 1x and no plane has returned.
I have used this many times to clear a whole queue ahead of me on the way to the runway!!

Good luck and safe flying

EHM-1001 Robert:
Hi,

I used to use that style several times. You can do it either as a VFR flight (with the risk of closed airports during the night) or as IFR. But then you need to enter very similar route to FS GPS as the FSNAV flightplan.

To avoid AI aircraft, I can advice to use AISmooth. You will not have any problem with landing then. With/without FS ATC, you will get the 1st priority for landing ;D

@ Robert:

Where can I get AISmooth??:%
