BONDENO Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Has anyone had experience of OnCourse Software - PF3 - ATC At Its Best! If so is it easy to use and can you use it on default fs9 planes, it says it keeps AI planes also separated . Or anything else i should know as i use default flight-plans within fs9 Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhinson Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 It is quite different to the default ATC system so I would hesitate to use the word "easy" for a new user. Nevertheless, it is a very advanced piece of software with a zillion options to suit all users. It works with default or custom AI traffic. I'm not aware it keeps AI planes separated but it might. There are a huge range of voices and accents which link to parts of the world and airlines it recognises. The only issue there is that the voices were recorded many years ago and don't identify with newer airline callsigns. I would recommend visiting their support forum OnCourse Software - Index page (ocs-support.co.uk) and also taking advantage of the free trial to get a picture of things. I have never seen a piece of software anywhere that has such incredible levels of support to help users on their way. Even if it isn't your cup-of-tea, your original ATC and AI traffic will still be there and won't have been interfered with.

Hi Mark, If I remember rightly, the code you are issued allows a number of re-activations (ten, maybe) but you have to de-activate one before re-activating another so I guess that is a form of on-line activation. If you run out of activations, the developer willingly resets the allowance. John http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

Not keen on anything requiring online activation unless it's super good. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, Just had a quick exchange with Dave, the developer, and he confirms that arrangements are provided for to disable the on-line activation system when the time comes. As a backup against unexpected surprises, a few selected other users hold the necessary info too. Best regards, John 1 http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

But do try the free trial first. J 1 http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
