LotAtc Configuration setup to filter out everything below 60kt

[Former user]

Maybe consider flipping this off to allow LotATC Controllers to do ground control.

I think I'm okay with this. I'll see what's involved.

At this point, I'd request the server be moved Arcade profile. LotAtc controllers are getting a lot of complaints from pilots who are used to Spectate GCIs and can see everything then get frustrated from LotAtc controllers who can't.

Or you know... they can get over it? Per SMEs who work on AIC platforms: there does not exist a system in existence today that gives you instantaneous updates, aircraft types, etc with 100% confidence. You know the position, velocity, and IFF status of contacts out there and not much more than that.

If you want an unrealistic experience flying with a controller or as a controller the spectator slots are always available.

[Rabbit994]

It doesn't matter. GCIs have option for god view which is spectate in game. Therefore, if LotAtc is going to be option, it should be on par with other options for consistent GCI experience.

Or Spectate should be removed.

[Ryan Stevens]

Just because something is advantageous doesn't mean it is better. What about all those people who want to use LOTATC and have a more realistic experience rather than the 'best' one? Personally I am fine with removing the spectator mode as long as we add some licenses to the LOTATC server so people can use it for free.

As a GCI user, I'm aware of the spectate tools and both the hoggitworld and whiskeysim GCI web GCI tools and I much prefer a bit more realism and challenge that LOTATC provides. With the low speed filter now removed, I have to either turn it back on in the client or purposefully keep units in the air dark. It doesn't make much sense for me, as an AWACs controller, to say "Hey UZI 2 flight, a pair of Su 27s just appeared on the ramp 10 miles east of you so give them a few minutes and they'll probably take off.". It's much more exciting for all parties involved when out of seemingly no where, two bandits pop up on scope angels 1 and climbing and requires immediate alert to the CAP flight.

I agree with Lawlcat here, but I'm curious if there's a way that we can do this only for enemies so that people using it for ATC can still direct with it?
