The PilotEdge Air Traffic Controllers connect to the voice and data network using specialized software. As you gain altitude you’ll be able to hear aircraft from further away. By and large, you’ll only hear the pilots that are on your frequency, and only if they’re relatively nearby. PilotEdge features a sophisticated voice system that closely mirrors real world VHF operations. If he turns on his landing light, you’ll see that too. When you hear a pilot report on the radio that he’s “Entering a left downwind on the 45,” you’ll see the aircraft. Each simulator displays and animates the nearby aircraft. Information about each pilot’s aircraft (such as aircraft type, position, altitude, attitude, and heading) is sent to our servers, and then relayed to the flight simulators of pilots flying nearby.
Put simply, PilotEdge provides software to connect your flight simulator to our voice and data network.
