@zeus said in ATC MENU FILTERING:
While I’m all for realism, the reality is that in real world, if I make a bad call on ATC (like calling departure “approach” or “tower”, the ATC personnel will respond and give me the instructions they were going to if I had called them correctly (they’ll also use their correct callsign and if I’m paying attention I would pick up on that and correct on my response).
So for me, having filters doesn’t take away the realism. Just because I “fat finger” a menu command doesn’t mean I would really do that in real life.
Thanks for the filters!
This.
I don’t have any IRL flight experience, but I did a boatload of comms when I was in the Navy (pun absolutely intended). Yes, you can (and do, especially while new) make mistakes: say the wrong thing, address the wrong person/watchstation, use the wrong circuit, etc. However, somebody will be all to happy to correct you when that happens, because proper communications are extremely important.
If it were possible to implement something similar in the BMS ATC system, then that would be the best possible immersion. But IRL, nobody listens to a communication and goes “Huh, that was wrong; guess I’ll completely ignore it and do nothing. Hope it wasn’t important.” But, IMHO, the filtering is the next best thing for providing that feedback that you would get IRL, and I found it very helpful while starting out.
