X-Plane 11.30 ATC

hello there this is Jennifer Roberts with a tutorial on using explain 11 today we'll take a look at ATC including the changes coming in the x-plane 1130 update this video was recorded using a preview copy of X plane 1130 b1 first let's take a look at the air-traffic control settings you can have text verbal or both types of ATC messages enabled depending on what you check here by default ATC text and verbal messages should both be enabled I've started a flight at the demo Airport Seattle Tacoma or KSC a I'm on a GA ramp with our default Cessna 172 we'll walk through the steps on setting up a flight plan and contacting ATC for clearance and taxi instructions to get started press the return or Enter key to bring up the ATC window note that if you hit the enter key and you get a box like this it is a chat box and this means you have multiplayer enabled turn this off in network settings to get the ATC window back press the button file flight plan to specify the info about your flight explained 11:30 has a revised ATC voice system that is much more flexible than ever before this also means there are a few new fields in this window the aircraft identification box will list our sea 172s tail number by default but you can change this if you wish pick the aircraft manufacturer and model from the drop downs here these are the new fields that ATC will use to identify your aircraft when they talk with you you can specify the airline and flight number if you wish but I will leave them empty as they're not required for our purposes right now a departure ICAO field is filled in for us with our current location so we'll fill in our destination Airport which is going to be the nearby Boeing Field KB fi I'll fill in my enroute altitude as 3000 I'm going to leave the route blank because we want to go direct but you could also enter any NDB vor fix or airway to get real routings I'm going to go ahead and check the auto-tune recommended frequencies box when combined with the departure wizard which is already enabled by default it makes the ATC process very straightforward and easy to use you can always tune your radios by hand or by double clicking on a line in this ATC window if you prefer let's request altimeter sky to sierra papa seattle falcon 90 now we need to read back the transmission note that if i press the read back transmission button while ATC is still talking I hear a beep this indicates the line is in use and I have to wait to try again you can also use the repeat last transmission button if you need to hear ATC's instructions again now we can request clearance and read back those instructions Skyhawk - Sierra haha clear daya forty Boeing field King Kong International has filed maintain 3000 squad four seven zero zero feared IFR - Boeing Field King County International as file maintain 3000 squawk four seven zero zero sky Hawk - Sierra the auto-tune option has already switched our comm one frequency for us so we can also request taxi now as well Skyhawk - sierra papa one way one six left taxi via for that tango Charlie hold short of runway one-six center runway one-six left taxi via wood back tango Charlie I acknowledge the clearance as before and then look around you you'll see yellow arrows painted on the ground directing you to where you should go where the arrow stop you must also stop and wait for further instructions these arrows are enabled by default but you can additionally turn them off in the settings if you prefer taxi to where the arrows are taking you when you reach the side of the runway ground will instruct you to contact the tower and auto tune the frequency once you respond to sierra papa contact tower on one one nine point nine zero contact tower on one one nine point nine zero Skyhawk - sierra check in with this new controller this is how you tell the controller you're now on their frequency and waiting for their command if there are AI aircraft using the runway you will probably have to wait until they are done this may take some time six center hold short of runway one-six left sky Hawk - Sierra after that tower will call you and give you your takeoff clearance sky off - Sierra oughta fly heading one four zero one way one six well you're clear for takeoff respond and then depart unless otherwise instructed fly the runway heading up to your cleared altitude of 3,000 feet once you are in the air you'll have additional options to cancel your flight plan or to request a missed approach at some point you will be handed off to the center controller check-in as you did before continue on your heading and altitude and eventually center will begin vectoring you to an approach at your destination of kbf I once the approach is set up you will be handed off to kbf eyes tower for landing and the process continues until you've arrived back at the gate well thanks for watching and I'll see you next time
