== Special Thanks == | |||
Special thanks and my gratitude to the FlightGear community for the valuable help and for providing very useful information about ATC phraseology, procedures and communication, in particular to those participating to {{forum link|t=36755|title=Red Griffin ATC - Speaking ATC addon for Flightgear}}. | |||
== Note == | |||
Red Griffin ATC has been developed and written by Antonello Biancalana (Red Griffin, IK0TOJ) in Nasal language and it has been tested in FlightGear 2019.1.1 and 2019.1.2, specifically in my Fedora Linux FC31. I understand there can be bugs or the ATC procedures may be formally incorrect. On this regard, any feedback, suggestion, criticism and hint on how to improve this addon are warmly welcome. You are kindly invited to contribute with your ideas and feedback by posting in the forum thread. | |||
I am not a pilot and I do not have a pilot license, I have never been in a real aircraft's cabin and all the times I have been in a real airplane I did it | |||
as a passenger. All of my "plane pilot" experience is only as a "virtual and simulated pilot", a hobby I started in 1982 with Flight Simulator II running | |||
on a Commodore 64 computer. I therefore have no ATC procedures experience (what I know is from what I read in specialized books and documents only) and I understand the procedures used in this addon may result incorrect to real pilots. I am more than glad to get any feedback about ATC procedures from experienced pilots and anyone knowing this subject in order to improve this addon. | |||
