- ATC flight Lubeck - Frankfurt/Main
- ====================================
-
- Introduction:
- ==============
- lubffm.atc and lubffm.pnt contains the program and points for an atc
- controlled flight from Lubeck to Frankfurt/Main.
- It tries to follow correct ATC procedures, but I probably have misunderstood
- several things, so it might not be fully correct. Feel free to tell me about
- any problems with the flight!
- It's a bit more talkative than real ATC though.
-
-
- Requirements:
- ==============
- You need the following to fly this ATC flight:
-
- FS5.1:
- I've only tested it with FS5.1, but it'll probably work with FS5.0 too.
-
- Europe I:
- I've created this using BAO's Europe 1 scenery, so I know that it works
- with this scenery.
- It might work with some of the free scenery found on Compuserve and
- ftp.iup.edu. Look for scenery covering Germany.
-
- ATCCOM:
- My ATC communication simulator. The requirements for this simulator
- is given in ATCCOM.TXT.
-
- LUBFFM.ATC & LUBFFM.PNT:
- The ATC program and point file describing this flight.
-
- You:
- You must know how to use VOR's and ILS'es to fly this ATC flight.
- Maps and approach charts would be nice to have, but isn't a must,
- as I've included the necessary details below.
-
- Setup:
- =======
- Setup ATCCOM as described in ATCCOM.TXT.
-
- FS5 must be set up for a dualplayer connection as described in ATCCOM.TXT
-
-
- Starting ATCOM and FS5:
- ========================
- Start ATCCOM from within windows; when the ATCCOM window appear, open
- lubffw.atc; then select Start from the Action menu.
- Start FS5.
- Enter the Entertainment/Dual-player screen, and click on "Direct Connect".
- You'll return to cockpit window, and after a short time, the message
- "Connected" should appear in the white window on your screen.
- Use the mouse to pull the white window to the top of the screen.
-
- You'll be informed that to start, you must move the aircraft to Lubeck
- (in Germany).
- Do this by selecting Lubeck from the airport list in FS5.1.
- The adventure is designed for the Lear, so select the Lear from the
- aircraft window.
- Place the aircraft somewhere in the parking area at Lubeck airport, and
- you'll be ready to run the adventure.
-
-
- Talking with ATC:
- ==================
- While all this is happening, ATC should be busy telling you to:
-
- Contact clearance delivery on 122.5 *
-
- Note the star (*) after the message, it indicate that you should acknow-
- ledge that you have received it. Do this by typing:
-
- 0 <enter>
-
- (<enter> is the return key on your main keyboard, NOT the keypad)
- This acknowledges the message, and ATC should stop bothering you.
- If you don't acknowledge the message, ATC will repeat the message after
- a short while.
-
- Now you should tune to clearance delivery. Do this by dialling the fre-
- quency on your COM radio, and then type the following:
-
- 0 r <enter>
-
- This is the command to contact a new frequency, and is generally used to
- report in when necessary.
- (Btw. ATCCOM doesn't check for the correct radio frequency, so it isn't
- really necessary to dial the frequency first; just typing 0 r <enter>
- is enough. However, to make things a bit more realistic, dial in on
- your com radio.
-
- After reporting in on the new frequency, you should get this message
- (sent one line at a time) :
-
- Good afternoon Flight 18,
- Cleared to Frankfurt as filed,
- Expect FL 220 10 minutes after departure,
- Sqawk 1234 *
-
- This is your clearance. Note the star after the last line, this indicate
- that you have to acknowledge the message, so do this by typing
-
- 0 <enter>
-
- Side note: I have a Thrustmaster FLCS/WCS-II, and have programmed the
- above commands into some of the buttons in the WCS. It make
- it a bit easier to talk with ATC. You might want to do the
- same if you have a FLCS or WCS-II.
-
- If you forgot the last message from ATC, you can request a repeat.
- This is done by typing:
-
- 0 q <enter>
-
- ATC will then repeat the last message. You'll have to acknowledge it
- again!
-
- If you forgot what you're supposted to do, you can request a status.
- This is done by typing:
-
- 0 s <enter>
-
- ATC will then tell you what you're expected to do.
- You'll have to acknowledge it!
-
-
- Now you most all the things you can send to ATC, lets recap:
-
- 0 <enter> : Acknowlede a message.
- 0 r <enter> : Report (Used when contacting a new frequency).
- 0 q <enter> : Request repeat of last message.
- 0 s <enter> : Request current status.
-
- There's a few more commands, look them up in ATCCOM.TXT.
-
- The takeoff:
- =============
- After acknowleding the clearance, you'll be told to contact Lubeck Tower
- to get taxi instructions. Do this by dialling the frequency on the com
- radio (118.6); then report in.
-
- You'll get taxi instructions, and will be told to report short of the
- runway. Taxi to just before the runway, and report in again.
-
- Tower will then clear you for takeoff, so do that, and follow all the
- instructions you receive.
-
- Each controller will inform you when to change to another frequency, and
- will also give you this frequency.
-
-
- The flight:
- ============
- The clearance you'll receive contains the word "cleared as filed".
- This indicate that you should fly the route you filed earlier.
