After you get clearance, you tune to the Ground (if available) or Tower frequencies for your taxi clearance. However, once the flight plan is filed, you must tune to the Clearance Delivery, Ground, or Tower frequencies (if available, in that order as in the real world) to get clearance for takeoff. Filing a flight plan is independent of any controller, so that option is always available. In order to make a request or hear from the air traffic controllers, you must have your COM 1 radio tuned to the proper frequency for the request. Alternatively, you can use the Joystick & Equipment dialog box to program your joystick to access this menu. To access this menu, simply press Enter (Return) on the keyboard. Note: You will only be able to hear the air traffic control chatter if ATC audio output is enabled to confirm this is the case, open the Settings menu, then click Sound.Īll interactions with the air traffic control occur via the on-screen ATC menu. Although AI aircraft (i.e., those that you have turned on using the Aircraft & Situations dialog box) will always follow the guidance of the air traffic control, they will also work around your aircraft if you are not interacting with the ATC. X-Plane 10’s air traffic control (ATC) system is powerful and realistic when you want to practice real-world protocols, but completely unobtrusive when you want to just fly.
