Any one else found you can get them doing mach 2.3 on the down wind, at 1000ft at LHR.

Its a cracking free program and I have lean't alot of CRM with ATC by my fanny around with the program.

You should maybe stick it in one of the pilots forum's to get a better exposure.

the only changes i would suggest is adding votex wake on the finals and not just leaving it as a cop out of clearing something to get seperation. And having standard arrivals ie no clashes res when you thought you had everything set up and some tosser gives you one at 3k. And also SID's for the departure.

I know !!!! all about ATC but formation landings which i have pulled off in the program although acceptable as pilots in certain situations i would thought been way out side ATC rules.

And the J31 pilots in Oz are a bunch of poof's, missed approach at 240 knts getting turned on at 5 DME, work it lads. Thats the whole point of flying something with no bog fitted.

But points aside it is a bloody excellent tool to exposing pilots to TC's job. How good it is for ATC I can't say but for a pilot it is well sound. I t is way ahead of an ATcO fannying around with MS FS

as some one else has said can one of you ATC's explain how you would say setup for LHR. As pilot i give them max warp factor on departure clear them to fl 100 and give them direct. Then take everything around the edge low. and bend them in all done at 240 knts and then meshing the streams together towards the runways. seems to work ok unless some **** stick's one in at the corner on one of my downwind streams at 3k.
