Re: [Flightgear-devel] ATC and radio signal attenuation

[Alex P. <ale...@ie...>]

If you know the phone number of the ATC facility, you should be able
to enter it into a popup that looks like a satphone and communicate
with them without the attenuation constraint.  Oh, and extend the ATC
dialog to understand "say phone number" and "on landing call"
interactions.

Do you already have a working copy that you would consider merging with flightgear/next? If so, I would like to do so and give it a shot (after having tried it locally and after ensuring that everything works okay).

Although I haven't really had the need to listen to distant stations yet, I can imagine that certain situations will arise where I need to be able to follow ATC messages across larger distances. Given that during the development cycle I would rather concentrate on debugging than on deciphering a radio message, I think that an option to conditionally disable ATC signal attenuation would be very welcome.
