Now that would be interesting and also give the cockpit a bit of in-flight life. The European area is interesting because you will have all these very different native accents, in Greek, Italian, Swiss and French. So my thoughts were, as I am flying over these controlled airspaces then why not in hearing the usual ATC ground to flight chatter. and VATSIM that has been around for ages. Laminar Research are rebuilding the ATC from the ground up and the early signs will mean that it will be very good, but that ATC feature may well be a year or two away, if even as part of X-Plane12's features, however X-Plane v11.30 does have the new ATC voice system.Д¬urrently the online ATC systems for X-Plane is 'Pilot2ATC' which is excellent but costs US$60. The X-Plane default ATC is beyond average, but it does hand you over to the next FIR region, but overall the ATC is pretty dire. So as I was flying over Greece, Italy, Switzerland, France to the UK I had no contact with any of these FIR's, hence the quiet part of the flight. So as you fly across several countries or states you will be 'handed' over to the next FIR or control zone, as you reach the boundary of the current one, Europe FIR's are split between countries, but are still overall covered by the central ECAC member states, so that effectively that puts it all under one control authority called 'Euro Control' based in Brussels. Flight Information Regions (wikipedia)ДЄll FIR's have the built in ALRS 'Alerting Service (aviation)' and are divided into upper and lower zones (note on the X-Plane local map the upper and lower routes).

FIR's cover the whole globe and the full list (worth printing out) is here. USA (below left) and Europe (below right). These FIR's mostly cover a single country or different regions of bigger countries, as the UK has three in England, Scotland and Ireland, notably the USA has a lot of CAN/FIR regions.

Over the route you cover a lot of ground, but also a lot of airspace regions, of which are called FIR's or 'Flight Information Regions'.

But this was a four and a half hour flight and although the images out of the cockpit windows were quite spectacular at times, it was otherwise quite quiet in the cockpit. I was flying Rotate's MD88 from LGRP (Rhodes) to EGKK (Gatwick UK) and about mid-flight over the Adriatic Sea I was feeling a bit lonely, nothing wrong as the flight was excellent and everything was running lovely and smoothly. You can type in the ICAO of almost any airport and it will give you all the frequencies, and also at the bottom if there are any custom scenery made for it.Plugin Review : X-ATC-Chatter by Stick and Rudder Studios That's all the ones I can think of right now.Д®dit: is a great website.
