Red Griffin ATC: Difference between revisions

==== Aircraft compatibility ====

Red Griffin ATC radio support and use rely on FlightGear properties and, for this reason, it is essential for the aircraft to provide a functional implementation of the radio stack. Red Griffin ATC has been extensively tested with tens of aircraft and, according to these tests, not all aircraft seem to provide a complete implementation of COM radios and, in this particular case, those aircraft will not work because of lack of fundamental properties needed by Red Griffin ATC. As of version 2.1.0, Red Griffin ATC uses and relies on the following radio properties for each COM radio:

* /instrumentation/comm[x]/true-bearing-to-deg

In case the aircraft does not provide some of the above properties, Red Griffin ATC will show a warning message in the main dialog and any radio operation will not be possible. In this specific case, you can contact the aircraft developer and ask for a revision of the radio implementation in order to comply to the above properties.

Please note Red Griffin ATC reads and uses the above properties "as they are" and relies on their data. If you notice some incongruence in data shown both in the radio stack or Red Griffin ATC dialog window or popup, it is probably because of improper data written by the aircraft in FlightGear properties.

A list of the aircraft tested with Red Griffin ATC can be found here. The list is continuously updated and tries to provide both a reliable and up-to-date source of compatible and incompatible aircraft. You are invited to browse this list and check aircraft compatibility in case you see or experience a wrong or unexpected behavior in Red Griffin ATC.
