CRJ_simpilot Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm sick and tired of being handed off withen a minute of each other. Sometimes it's withen a second after I just contacted center. Is there any way or hack where I can reduce the number of hand offs besides not flying IFR? I don't even think in real life it's this bad. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

kingnorris Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Most logical answer would be to get a third party ATC add on.

I don't even think in real life it's this bad. 1: Approach through a recognised flight corridor 2: Reduce the number of different ATC zones you fly through 3: Don't fly direct to the airport. Fly to a point on the extended centreline of the likely runway in use and make only one turn to join that extended centreline 4: Reduce the number of AI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSX ATC is not very smart, and it is told to hand you off when you go from one sector to another. The problem is that when you are near the edge of one or more sectors, you occasionally will move very quickly from one sector to another and back, thus triggering these back-to-back hand-offs.

mcarvela Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Does this have a demo? Not that I know of. But they do have on their website videos showing various sections of an FSX flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TightGit Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I was also frustrated by that problem, but having started using RC4 in combination with MCE, my simming has been transformed. 100% recommended! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 When ATC hands you off to another sector, accept the hand off and do not contact the next controller. ATC will leave you alone and you can reconnect with them later, at your convenience. Also note that there are horizontal sector dividers as well as the vertical ones. If you are flying at an altitude that separates two sectors you can very easily move from one to another. Even a change in Barometric pressure can throw you into another sector, causing a hand off. Sometimes a climb or descent will stop the continuous hand offs. For a couple reasons, and this is one, when flying IFR I typically fly 100 feet above my assigned altitude. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

ianhr Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Get above 60,000 feet and you'll be outside Class A airspace and can ignore ATC. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegasjon Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 There's no demo, but its got a great speech pack and more realistic than the default. It will give yo usome strange routings though so if you want a more realistic ATC experience you may need to look at VATSIM of Pilotedge. Good luck!

Once there you can then accept the hand off and not contact. Every once in a while you will see that you can tune the new frequency. Just don't make contact. Once you are about 180 miles from your airport, contact ATC so you get your vectors. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E.

Rupert Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Yes, As usual Mr Bean has it in a nutshell! I've done exactly as he recommended for years. Yes, FSX ATC is pretty basic but it can be used without too many issues. I'm happy with doing that and not installing yet another ad-don to slow the processor down!;) I have noticed that often the people who complain the most about frame speed, etc. have the most ad-dons. Which is why I tend to pick and choose which processes matter the most to me. :cool: Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
