 |
|
hello there sqk development makers.
you mite not like me over saying these questions/suggestion as they mite be long but hope you mite take time on board.
Just want to add this even it mite be already added but.its just one thing that ive notice as been a controller and pilot. many times ive come across that pilots sometimes for get to sqk mode C when on the runway or airborn, but can you add a code into the new sqkbox that they either sqk mode when at the holding points of the runway automatically or when there airborne or even if you loose connection an reconnect that you sqk mode C if you are airborne. If it is postable it would help pilots and controllers with either the embarrassment of forgetting to do it at the runway or at ur crz alt.or of the runway on taxiways auto standby 
I no for my 2nd question it mite sound impossible to do but when a pilot goes away an for get to disconnect or the connection is idle for about 30to45mins can they be auto disconnect so it would save on controler/sup/admins time on vatsim and decrease the .wallop commands.
I no there is a free program that is out on the net somewhere that does that (ASMC)
And finaly
3rd. as everyone no's or doesnt no that FSinn has a inbuilt Tcas on it an FSinn is not user frendly type software that sqkbox is, but for new pilots that are use to the default FS aircraft an not use to payware aircraft that have Tcas systems,would it be posible , it would be handy on unicom an no ATC online in a sector that has aircraft nearby, but i no that it mite decrease the framz.
But as i said
its just a suggestion/questions thats all but hope that you would someone like me to put it on file on the fourms
none of the fsinn is to add the software at all Sqkbox i will alway use, just example thats all.happy reading this
p.s i edit this 5 times adding more questions. 
Cheers, |

Could just be me but under FSX, SB4 starts in mode C all the time and I have to flip it too standby. Not sure if this is SB4 or FSX doing it.

Hard call on that one, because sometimes if your making a long flight you may not give the sim any inputs for hours on end, so how would SB4 know if you have walked away or there is just no need for the pilot too touch anything. Even sitting on the ground, the connection never goes idle too the server. So it really comes down too the pilot watching what he is doing. Having a supervisor yell at you or kick you off for most people causes them not too do it again.

SB does not have a TCAS for the same reason it only has a basic weather system. The main goal with SB was to get you connected too Vatsim nothing else. The idea was why program something when there are already free programs/gauges out there that do that job already just fine. FSInn went the other way and gave you everything all in one. Thats why we have the 2 programs with Vatsim and the same reason why there is not a US vs THEM war between the 2 groups.
Hope that answered everything for you |
