I would caution those interested in Discord.  The company behind Discord was previously sued for involvement in violations of privacy, wiretap and various California state laws. The privacy policy and past of the company involved is questionable.

Useful information.  Thanks, man.

Beautifully made event description!

These work for me.

To turn off the FSX voice ATIS:
Options->Settings->Sound->Volume levels
Uncheck "Voice"

To turn off the FSX text ATIS:
Options->Settings->General->Air Traffic Control
Uncheck "Show message log in ATC menu"

Confirmed.  Thanks Richard.

To start listening to the frequency, click "RX" and "HDST" next to the entry you just created and you should hear whoever you want to listen to.

Ditto Josh's explanation. If you still cannot hear the frequency ensure that UDP Port 3290 is forwarded through your router for VRC.

Should be automatic, was for me.

While Daniel is correct, I'll admit that I never found it worth the time/effort to deselect my primary frequency tx...  No biggie to me if my pilots see me ask someone to contact me on my frequency.  In the RW, it's the same transmission they'd be hearing if they were "good pilots" and monitoring the guard frequency in one of their other COM radios.....

I do it all the time... Unfortunately with not too great response rates.  I'd say around 1/4 pilots are on frequency when I do the call, unfortunately leading to the .contactme command.

When you say you "do it", do you mean attempt to hail pilots on your frequency, on unicom, or both?  If you mean your frequency, that's why I was suggesting unicom.  If your pilots don't respond to you on unicom, then the pilots are in violation of BOTH sections B3 and B7 of the Code of Conduct, and you are entirely within your right to contact a Supervisor (and/or use the .contactme crutch).  Whether you choose to do that or not is up to your facility policies and/or personal preference.

My steps:

• Hail on Frequency
• .contactme
• Private Message
• Wallop (If Necessary)

Isn't ATC participation on UNICOM against the CoC or is that something I've messed up?

Greg,

While I myself am unfamiliar with South America and Asia, I am quite familiar with the airports of the great state of Alaska...

We have a lot of smaller, un-towered airports that for the most part are used by cargo aircraft, as you stated you were interested in.  We also have a few (cold war era/current) Air Force/Military bases that you can use, if you were interested in continuing that.  The total airspace is around 2 million square miles large, so it leaves room if you want to do cargo flights inside the state.  In addition, its proximity to Russia (Eurasia?) and Asia is very helpful as well for such flights.

Of course, I'm biased, but I'm inclined to think it's a viable recommendation.  Hope to see you in the skies soon.

You make me want to buy aircraft...  Something I'll never do.
