Geographical areas
You can sort your ATC chatter files based on the region in which they
are recorded. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 supports the following
geographical areas: Western US, Central US, Eastern US, Latin
America, South America, Canada & Alaska, Europe (West), Europe
(East), Middle East/Asia, Africa, Pacific, and South Pacific. You should
organize the ATC chatter files according to these geographic areas,
as well as for the flight phases (as described below).
When you specify your flight, you can specify the geographic area for
your departure and destination airport, as well as for three different
enroute areas. This allows you to perform long haul flights that cover
various geographic areas, and still get the correct ATC chatter for the
area you are currently flying over. While the ATC chatter for the
airports are controlled by the various ATC chatter phases described
below, you manually control which of the three enroute areas to play
by hitting the shortcut key Ctrl-Shift-X. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 will
start using files for the geographic area specified in Enroute 1, and
advance to the next when you hit the shortcut. This also means that
if you perform a flight within one geographic area only, you obviously
don’t have to specify the two other enroute areas.
ATC chatter and flight phases
Within each of the geographic areas described above, FDC Live
Cockpit! 2011 contains seven different ATC phase folders. The ATC
phases are quite similar to the flight phases, although the ATC phases
overlap the flight phases slightly. The ATC phases are designed to be as
realistic as possible. The various phases are shown in the table below.
