  1. @Jay Williams Yes, there is forum thread about it: There will be no rewards given for pilots that deal with emergencies, thus they are not "encouraged". 121.5 will be used mainly to get ahold of aircraft that have not checked in on a particular ATC frequency.
  2. I understand your concern and trust me, I thought long and hard about it during the development process. What it ultimately boils down to though is that, while POSCON will be a free service open to the public, it is not a public utility. The network will have things that some may deem a limitation but that others, and arguably the majority, view increases the overall experience for all users. Having said that, exceptions can and will be made for people with disabilities, but I must stress that what we provide for them will not be offered to all users. People with disabilities will have to reach out to us directly so that we can hopefully work around their specific needs.
  3. It is possible to use radio without radar on POSCON.
  4. Yes, I think it would really be left up to the Divisions to determine if they want to do something like that. If they do decide to allow those frequencies to be opened, then it needs to be very clear in the documentation how that works and who is authorized to control it.
  5. It is totally possible, the question really is who would want to operate that radio station? Seems like it would be pretty boring. ?
  6. I am willing to concede that to VATSIM. @Tim S - POSCON will have ways to maintain a connection, even when you are not able to utilize voice, but there will be some limitations and mainly those have to do with when you are taxiing, taking off, or landing.
  7. Hello and welcome to everyone interested in the Romania Division of POSCON! I have created this forum to explore the possibility of releasing a division for Romania during beta testing. The only way we will release with this division is if enough people show interest, so get all your friends to join this club and make sure that they stay active! If there is enough interest and discussion, we will devote our resources to creating the necessary infrastructure. We are going to need your help though with sector file construction and writing procedures! If you have any interest in helping us write this material, please email [email protected] Bună ziua și bun venit tuturor celor interesați de Divizia România a POSCON! Am creat acest forum pentru a explora posibilitatea lansării unei divizări pentru România în timpul testelor beta. Singura modalitate de a ne elibera cu această divizie este dacă suficientă persoană va arăta interes, astfel încât toți prietenii să se alăture acestui club și să se asigure că rămân activi! Dacă există suficient interes și discuții, ne vom dedica resursele pentru crearea infrastructurii necesare. Vom avea nevoie de ajutorul dvs., deși cu proceduri de construcție și scriere a fișierelor sectoriale! Dacă aveți vreun interes să ne ajutați să scriem acest material, vă rugăm să ne trimiteți un e-mail la [email protected]

  9. Not sure what you mean? What are you looking for?
  10. Most autopilots will typically bank anywhere between 25-30 degrees below FL250 and around 12-15 degrees above FL250. This is due to the loss of lift experienced while turning at higher altitudes. However, I really don't think this is what you are experiencing. First of all, it generally is hard to feel/visualize the control movements as a passenger. A good example of this is while the airplane is in a cloud... 9 times out of 10 you probably wouldn't know if the aircraft was turning left or right as a passenger. Pilots have a better grasp of what is going on because they are looking at the instruments. But I think the biggest factor is that most routes are generally straight and attempt to follow a great circle routing. This means that there are very few "bends" in the route where a large change in direction is required. Also, in the real world, ATC are constantly giving shortcuts to aircraft which tends to "straighten" the route significantly. Hope this helps.
  11. Our simulation will be like the real world: Published CTAF or UNICOM frequency on Comm #1 when in the vicinity of an uncontrolled airfield. When outside of the airport environment, and in uncontrolled airspace, Comm #1 should be set to 123.45 Comm #2 should be set to 121.5 at all times, unless unable due to operational reasons. There will be no "text" on POSCON. We have something better planned.
  12. I will be in the following locations in March 2019: Miami, March 14th and 15th Brasilia, Brazil, March 16th and 17th Las Vegas, March 22nd and 23rd St. Lucia, March 30th and 31st
  13. @Ray Sotkiewicz Fantastic sim dude! That's the plane I cut my teeth on IRL... I have something like 4000 hours TT in the BE1900D. Welcome to POSCON!

  15. @Artem Zhuk Awesome. We have actually closed off the database we were working with for now - we are integrating it into the system. When that is done, we will add some more languages.
  16. @Veljko Djeic Shoot us an application so we have your name on record as wanting to help: We probably will pull from that application pool when we expand testing.
  17. @Veljko Djeic Thanks for your interest, we are not currently accepting any more testers. Stay tuned though, eventually, we will be expanding our tester pool.
