Michat informed me that the add-on Red Griffin ATC was not working with my 707 from here https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgaddon/HEAD/tree/trunk/Aircraft/.
I've just tested it and couldn't find any bugs. It would be nice if someone would add them to the compatible aircraft on the wiki page: Red Griffin ATC compatible aircraft
It is important that the comm is switched on in the 707.

I let myself be guided all day. Sometimes I messed up, sometimes the tower But it doesn't matter ... When I think about what's behind it to write the complex processes in software. This is the way of artificial intelligence, really. You're crazy ... it's unimaginable to my brain. Whenever you need some dummies to finish the shit, with correct approach routes and phrases ... I'm happy to help with testing.
D-MKF1 wrote in Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:30 pm:Funniest moment of the day ... first I completely shot down the software because I entered the wrong frequencies several times. Then after a restart I flew to the "wrong" runway because I had forgotten to confirm and in the end I was just upside down on the ILS. Oops
Software can't stop idiots from doing the bottle. Unless you have enough idiots to test. Count me in...

I started on the runway and RGATC gives me continously the clearance to taxi to the runway (i'm allready on the runway).
So i tested and rolled slowly along the centerline. Some meters later, RGATC comes with the clearance to take off, nice.
I think this has something to do with distance from threshold or so.
But normaly you will start on the appron and taxi to/on the runway. Manually taxiing on the runway gives you other distances, so i think if i manually taxi on the runway it will work.
WoodSTokk wrote in Thu Mar 11, 2021 10:50 pm:RGATC tell me to climb 4500ft. Okay, i climb out. Some time later the ATC advise it a second time.
Will be nice if the ATC give me enough time to climb up and not advice me every minute or so.
Maybe the ATC check if the aircraft is still climbing or not.
WoodSTokk wrote in Thu Mar 11, 2021 10:50 pm:RGATC give me a squawk and advise to ident. So i tune in the squawk and pushed IDENT.
Some times later the ATC give me the same squawk and advise to ident (???). So i push IDENT a second time.
No matter how often i push, the ATC advise me to ident.
I think the code looks only to '/instrumentation/transponder/'.
The Citation II has 2 transponders controlled by one control unit (Collins TDR-94).
At start up the control unit was switched to transponder 1.
As the ATC adviced me, i set the squawk on the unit (transponder 1 was active, so the unit set the squawk for transponder 2),
flipped the switch (this turn transponder 1 to stand-by and activate transponder 2) and pushed IDENT.
I'm not sure but it looks like RGATC doesnt look if there is another XPTR active.

Good to see that a new version is out! Thank you.
I am thrilled about the Festival Speech Synthesis System. I have always been wanting to have that feature but it is going to take too much of work to set that up on Windows OS.
scarymovie wrote in Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:21 am:I agree with WoodSTokk on how the ATC keeps repeating herself to climb (or descend) without giving the aircraft time to do the intended thing. Probably a logic can be put in place to check if the altitude remains the same, increase (if asked to descend) or decrease (if asked to ascend) before reminding the pilot.
scarymovie wrote in Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:21 am:And problem I noticed:- not sure if RGATC is getting the same metar from the default FG source, but it is always different from what the ATIS provided esp the barometric pressure, wind direction & speed and information letter (eg Information Alpha).
scarymovie wrote in Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:21 am:1. This is going to be hard. To add a Progressive Taxi Instruction option so ATC can guide the aircraft to the designated runway or gate.
scarymovie wrote in Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:21 am:2. ATC informs aircraft to contact Departure or Tower when approaching the holding point of departure runway.
