Hello I would like to comment on your program squwkbox heres what I see that would really be neat
AS PILOT
* Instead of Normal Squwk have Mode C which Normal is User Friendly
* Radio seems too quiet no static like reall frequencys
* ATIS and ASOS frequencys have actuall voice cause ATIS is actually a recorder that is played back and forth .
AS CONTROLLER
* When controlling a controller ask a pilot to ident his call sign turn diffrent color for 15 seconds or so .
* Controller Screens have little more of radar screen feel like have round circle like with headings for reference I also think the ablity to switch on weather and turn off weather on the screen would be really nice for us guys flying for VFR .
* lastly this one is a kind for thing I wish but doubt will happen I wish the controllers would be able to controll runway lighting when working tower .
*Lastly the ablity to be able to have a transmit key on your joystick I know you can do some of this by scripting .
Thanks For Your Time
 Keep up the Good Work with sqwkbox |

I don't understand your request?

Yes, because it makes life easier for everyone if you can hear better.
You can turn on the Simulated VHF option on the voice tab of the options menu to give you the sound you are looking for

Something like this has been in the works for sometime, its not a pilot software issue so not part of SB3.

Not a issue with SB3 its ATC software, the ATC software works the same way the real world ATC screens do when a pilot idents

Controllers can pull up weather now as they need to.

You can not turn runway lights on and off in MSFS

Buy a good joystick that has programing software or buy a full version of FSUIPC and you can do this. |

Tuning Activesky to 122.00 with a flight plan loaded will give you your recordings

Sorry Dave, from the EKCH Scenery from FSNORDIC.

I know this sounds very very stupid :
Why not have Ground crew on the tarmac/apron at airports for events ?
what i mean is , u know how u can download trucks/cars off AVSIM/SIMVIATION . You then have ppl with pushback and luggage handler vehicles . it could b used for events . |

| Hey Artur mostly because its a waste of bandwidth, Vatsim BoG looked at this a few years back and said no, we have all the charts out there and properly training ATC ground controllers working these events should be able to control things just fine. |
