Could I get a show of hands (( React to this post here )) on how many of you would be applying for the faction once our first application wave is opened? Curious to know how many we can get in this first application wave. Est. time for first recruitment wave should be around mid- Octoberish.

Heeheehee....

Props to @spawn. @HaveADream for helping push my faction idea through and remaining professional during the entire process.

Thank you everyone for the support / feed back. To assist faction management in the upcoming discussion I want to get a community wide opinion about adding the teamspeak aspect of air traffic control. In my opinion I think this would be a good option given that pilots could fly and talk at the same time while instead of typing while diving to their death. With that main reason in mind this would avoid a lot of unintentional crashes / voided Role plays. Comparing this idea to LEO role play I specifically had an interest back in my LSRP days because of the TAC channels / situations. It made the police role play twice as interesting. I think the same can be said about having a working teamspeak channel dedicated for tower / enroute environment. Lastly, pilots who do not want to speak in the channel would have to type instead as well as having ATC give them a typed messaged as well, but they are required to also be in the teamspeak channel so that they can properly monitor the traffic environment. I think enforcing it should happen just not the talking aspect for the pilots who do not want to speak on teamspeak, but they must connect / monitor the frequency. I think this would be a fair trade if implemented, as well as interesting. For PD/SD it’s a simple cleated for take off than frequency changed approved if a TAC channel happens since you cannot be in more than 1 channel at a time. Thoughts???

Yes GTA World VATSIM! ?

Perhaps we could propose a thing where once you enter the tower environment / ground you need to use teamspeak. Seems very interesting!!

Then it seems to me that aircraft prices need to change. I would suggest using this as a template of all the prices. Obviously not all the aircraft on this list will be implemented, but at least the prices seem reasonable. It took me a while to get up to 300K and that's just to get a plane, not go through the training process which is the other issue. If their is someone on the other end of the radio then it will create a challenge and make it a bit more interesting for the pilots as now they have to follow a set procedure as well as understand the set procedure. Template: https://www.ign.com/wikis/gta-5/Planes So in short: 1) Implement ATC 2) Aviation Pricing. 3) More instructors for all time zones.

I have a work around with this as I've seen that typing can become a disaster with flying. Pilots who want to fly solo could have their initial call out pre-typed and copied then all other responses will just have to be their call-sign once ATC gives them instructions until they are on the ground and safe. Ex: This message would be copied already. Pilot: Los Santos Tower, 3144 Victor, with you one-zero miles north to land, we have information Alpha. ATC: 3144 Victor, Los Santos Tower, make straight in runway 2-4 report 5 mile final. Pilot: 3144V. For students: CFI's will handle the radio when flying closed traffic patterns, then do the old switcharoo for a lesson that focuses around communication with ATC where full responses are required when the CFI flies and the student replies. For other Pilots: This will encourage pilots to have a Co-Pilot as well to assist in the radio and /me's etc while in-flight.

I'll be honest and not sugar coat it @Fergie. From what I witness so far in the server the answer is simply no. I think starting up this legal faction would have a signifiant impact on the aviation role-play and more people would be interested in flying if their is someone on the other end of the atc frequency. Think of it like having the LSPD without any suspects or crime shortage. In addition, to starting up the LSAA A few things I think need to occur in addition to assist in improving aviation RP. 1) Aircraft prices. So far a Lear Jet and a Mammatus are around the same price of 1.8 million. Thats silly because in real life a Cessna ranges around 300K to 800K or more and a Lear Jet is around 1.5 - 4.9 Million the Buckingham Nimbus is the same price as a Mammatus 1.1 million. So adjusting the prices could help. 2) Improving Aviation such as interiors on aircraft. 3) Adding a cargo transportation job at LSIA. Truckers who work their way up can apply for a pilots license then work for a local air cargo flights transporting goods from LSIA > Blane and LSIA > Grape. Then from Blane > LSIA for the county goods that need to be transported to the city. 4) Adding more planes like the shamal. 5) Flight Schools. Once the flight schools improve on flight instructors more pilots could be pushed through which will increase the total air traffic. 6) Schedule events like airshows. 7) Emergency RP's. If flights declare an emergency there is now a middle man (ATC) that has to assist the pilot on landing as well as talking to FD / LEO's on the situation. In short RP for FD and PD/SD will improve!!! 8 ) Air taxi's?

Archived please, suggestion was already implemented. Thank you ?

On behalf of the Suggestion Team we are pleased to say that your suggestion has been SUPPORTED by another!!

Archived.

It would be interesting to RP inside the shamals and other small jets. Could bring a lot more RP to aviation. Supported!
