About ambience
In addition to the voice of your co-pilot (and maybe your engineer) and the
cabin crew announcements, you can also have FDC Live Cockpit! 2011
add airport ambience or ATC (Air Traffic Control) chatter to your flight.
Airport ambience
Ever paid any attention to the difference in background noise between
various airports? Usually, the background noise will differ between
airports of a different size, simply because of the distance to the runway,
the size of the aircraft served by the airport, and the frequency of
departures and arrivals. To create a realistic background ambience for your
airports, FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 allows you to select the size of your
departure and destination airports individually. Based on your selection,
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 plays airport ambience that suits an airport of
that type. You can select between Small, Medium, and Large airport size.
FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 also allows you to control the interval (in seconds)
between files being played. You can turn airport ambience on and off on
the Misc Items panel under Options in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011.
ATC Chatter
Air Traffic Control (ATC) Chatter is the communication going on
between the air traffic controllers in the various sectors, and the
pilots of the aircraft passing through that sector. FDC Live Cockpit!
2011 offers an extensive ATC Chatter functionality allowing you to
