IVAO altitude

[EHM-2131 Bruce]

Hello all, just wondering if any pilot is using  IVAO altitude software, if so what is your opinion of it, ie is it easy to install and use, for a non techie person, have looked at the manual and looks a bit complicated to set up and use,  any input would be welcome, Best regards Bruce EHM 2131

I use Altitude with MSFS2020. I must say the it looks daunting at first, but it is actually very clever. Especially the feature that you can auto-generate text messages for your flight is a plus in my opinion. I use that a lot to state my situation and intentions.
What I HATE about it is the chat function. You can only chat with one person at a time. Where iVaP let you .chat with a group of people at the same time, with Altitude you need to repeat your message to all in the groep individually. And then you get all individual replies, to which you the reply individually again. That just does not work during a group flight. And as the Mumble server has some issues these days, group voice comm is also not a viable option at the moment.
I sure wish that the group chat functionality could be re-introduced to Altitude.

Totally agree with Eric-Jan's comment. Have same experiece and issues. This though might help you, Bruce, to get started:

Notice that the installation of the MTL will take some time.

Good luck,
