/images/notams/notams21/ivao0112.jpgIVAO is proud to announce the release of a brand-new Datalinkmodule for its ATC Client: Aurora, a stepping stone in the Air TrafficControl experience for our members. After having released its new ATC Client: Aurora in December 2019in BETA phase, IVAO did not cease to regularly update the client,allowing for more realism and immersive experience. Previous featureupdates included web-based Flight Plan filing, Voice Module, SELCAL,and others. Aurora's latest update will now include another new highlyrealistic and requested feature: Datalink. The Datalink feature will seamlessly integrate with the HoppieACARS system, bringing excellent news for our members using Hoppieenabled aircraft, such as FSLabs’ A3xx series of aircraft. Paving theway for an even more realistic experience through theirMCDU/ACARS. The Hoppie integration also constitutes excellent news toour third-party developers who can directly link their own Datalinksoftware to IVAO’s software ecosystem. Our members who are not using a Hoppie-compatible third-party ACARSsystem will still be able to receive Datalink messages from IVAO’sconnected ATC stations through the ATC’s primary active frequency. The new Datalink system consists of two parts: The first part is the Telex, which is a simple messaging systemthat can be used for controller/pilot and pilot/pilotcommunication. Telex is not used as an alternative to voicecommunication. The second part is the CPDLC (Controller Pilot Data LinkCommunications) is a Controller/pilot communication system used fornon urgent communication, that is an alternative to voicecommunication. A second important feature included with this update is VerticalProfiles. This is also a highly realistic INSET on our ATC client thatwill enable Controllers to have a transversal view of the activesector, as a means to visualise the vertical separation betweentraffic. As our software is still in the BETA phase, we continue to heavilydepend on our member feedback on bugs and feature requests to ensureour software is more stable and realistic.
