Short description: Having both "LS GROUND" and "LS TOWER" active at LSIA who are just in-charge of that sector. Investigating Pilot Deviation reports, and enforcing aviation regulations alongside the other government factions. Investigate crashes. Detailed description: Adding an ATC faction in LSIA with a working tower building to see the entire airport grounds and aircraft who are approaching the airport. Enforcing proper phraseology when entering / exiting / engine start up / departing / taxing / holding short etc. You may say whats the point aviation traffic is on a low. Adding this I think will greatly improve it as well as add another interesting job with all the others!! ATC can also publish charts for anyone who wants to start RPing IFR instead of VFR flights. Proposing teamspeak to be used for radio comms as well as a third party program to get a map of all the air traffic to which you can see where they are in respect to the GTA World map. Commands to add: /transponder on | /transponder off | /ident (( blimp will flash for all active controllers )) | /atcduty on/off | /lsia atis (( ATC can type of a full atis report so pilots can get all the airport info )). Items to add: Adding FAR [Federal Aviation Reg's, and making an AIM or Aeronautical Information Manual for all to view]. How would your suggestion improve the server?: Pilots will have more immersion now that their is someone on the other end of the radio. Additional information: I think aviation RP will greatly improve if we add this into the server because of ATC. Their will now be a voice that pilots will have to speak to as well as published procedures to follow when approaching and leaving the LS Sector. Lets make aviation RP Heavy!!!!! Immersion will increase!! Added FAR's Example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kEV595owr8ZgdLKJ5JrIWiWPZqU7EdPLTi6NI_odruo/edit?usp=sharing Added ATC manual draft v1 https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/1aC1ENBMitET8EyOPXmVieOq2ZsLpn0tw2RAbu_py9LQ/mobilebasic

ATC User Interface Wheel Short description: Add a wheel for ATC Comms Detailed description: See below Commands to add: Items to add: User Interface Wheel same as animations How would your suggestion improve the server?: Would improve flying safety and user experience overall Additional information: Aviation RP has really "taken off" as of late and one issue I've run into while flying is that I just don't have the ability to type fast enough to get a long ATC message over the comms while maintaining control of my aircraft! Other, faster typers may not have as much of an issue with this but I know it would be a welcomed change if we could revamp the ATC/Comm system to a faster and safer method. First and foremost I'd request that we make an exception to the "no bind" rule for pilots (anyone in an aircraft, really, so that you could be a pilot in training or a co-pilot). This would be the fastest and safest way to communicate, I believe. However, if this weren't possible (and, even if it were, really) there's another alternative that could serve as a neat and effective middle ground: The ATC UI Wheel. The wheel would be exactly like the wheel you use for animations, and just as customizable, but for the purpose of constructing a message quickly and safely, minimizing the time away from the controls. Let me explain: https://imgur.com/CTOM5Pq So, looking at the picture we can see how this would work (don't think to much about the specifics of the example, it's just for proof of concept) 1. You'd choose if you're taking off, landing, or performing some other maneuver, perhaps ascending or descending, etc. 2. Say you choose to take off, the second wheel would come up with the list of airports and helipads (that you could customize based on your preferences, just like animations), in this example, LSIA. 3. The third wheel would come up listing the possible runways or helipads that are available for takeoff (or landing if you'd be landing) So on until you have constructed the full message as required. The code required to implement this would look at the information about the aircraft itself (like the N number) and add that into the message appropriately. At each step you'd have a 'back' option and at the end of an acceptable message you'd have a 'send' option where the code would construct the message based off your input and send it off. It sounds complicated perhaps but really it's just clicking through a small number options like a flowchart instead of having to type it all out and lose control. This would conceivably be able to handle most of the common calls one would perform while flying, with only a small number of outliers remaining. Once the pilot gets familiar with their own personalized layout they'd be able to use it much more effectively, safely, and quickly than typing it all out. Plus it would guarantee they don't forget information and that it's all in the right order. EDIT: Added the template that I forgot (sorry!)

Short description: Allow aircraft to communicate with each other via an air traffic control radio Detailed description: Add a new chat that allows aircraft to communicate with each other via radio. First the aircraft must be registered and use their registered call sign when using the radio. E.g. /atc Life Flight One to LSIA, requesting permission to land via runway three. There could be both IC and OOC regulations regarding the use of aircraft and the air traffic control radio. Commands to add: /atc Items to add: A chat similar to /dep How would your suggestion improve the server?: It would allow aircraft to communicate across large distances, and increase air traffic role-play. For example Weazel News would be able to use it to contact the LSPD Airships during a pursuit situation, or the LSPD would be able to use it to warn aircraft entering restricted air space (E.g. above an event such as the Mayoral Inauguration or 9/11 memorial). The LSFD asking a civilian aircraft to assist with a Mass Casualty Incident on Mt. Chillaid. Additionally aircraft could simply use it as a place to express their role-play in a chat that other aircraft can see - so for example using /atc to request permission to taxi, to take off, to fly over a certain air space and when landing. Additionnal information: I suggested this before the throw-back, tried to find it in my browser's cache or in a web-page archive, and simply couldn't (Even though I found the URL). It had good support from folks back then.
