I have never meant this as questioning your ATC communication skills. Quite opposite really. I would personally prefer as much realism as possible, and I am happy to learn it as a virtual pilot.
what for do you need a RadioCheck???
Well ... to check that my mumble works ok and that you can hear it well? I understood it was standard initial phrase as per http://wiki.flightgear.org/ATC_phraseology#Clearance How shall I initiate the contact then? What shall I say on initial mumble contact? Especially given that "'ATC might be busy with 10 planes in area" as you say.
There is no difference between MPchat and Mumble communication
and
NoNoNo... The messages will always NEED 3 parts in the given sequence: Sender -- Target -- msg!
Right. You have repeatedly announced in the chat that "To All Airman: ... you do not need to type your UID" (I believe it is one of your pre-set messages). That's where I got that impression from. I understand now that it is meant as a time / typing saving exception.
(except that the Typist has a lot more and difficult work ( and forces the ATC to also work a lot more (what I hate!!))
Believe me typing is even worse with one hand holding the yoke and second hand on the throttle but we all try our best. Still, it is clear that using the chat is actually mandatory as you use it to give us instructions via pre-set messages etc. I have no problem with that. I just don't know how to combine it with mumble. That is why I asked if we shall read / type back chat instruction etc.
See in the movies the msg block at the left-lower corner!
Yes I know it. It is the same chat as we have in FGFS.
And definitely you will see/hear lots of talk between pilots
Aha, OK. I wasn't that lucky yet. Thanks.
