Hi Flightsimmers!
I'm a aviation enthusiast and therefor I'm also a Fligh Sim Fan. And I hope
one of you could help me with my current problem.
I've got Fs FlightShop installed with my FS 5.0a and created several adventure
simulating regular airline connetions.
But when I comes to the approach, the ATC instructs me as if I'm flying a
Cessna instead of Boeing 747-400.
So if anybody knows, I could overcome this problem, please send me a message.

Re:
FSFS ATC Adv. is a SIMPLE Program. It uses basic algorithims to write the
approach profiles. Other programs such as "ATC Approach Controller" or "REAL
ATC" may help.
The main issue is that you must be able to set variables such as final ap-
proach length, base leg length, max acceptable angle to transition to final,
not to mention altitudes/approach profiles. If your handy with basic
programming you may wish to write your own scripting (ATC Adv. will NOT
output the underlying script for you to edit). The FSFS Manual has most of th
commands for assembling a script. (also, look on the web for addon adventure
scripts [ .txt] to add during compilation such as "First Officer" to see how
they work).
Hope this helps...
