Introduction
What is Radar Contact?
Radar Contact is the most complete Air Traffic Control (ATC) add-on for Microsoft Flight
Simulator. Previous versions of Radar Contact (RC) were based on adventures, which
provided a realistic ATC environment. With the introduction of FS2002, adventures were no
longer a viable option for RC. Beginning January 2001, we rewrote RC in Visual Basic.
Version 3 was released in November 2002. Two years ago, we released Version 3.1 which
supported FS2004, and started working on Version 4. We believe that Radar Contact Version
4 will take Air Traffic Control to the next level. By implementing current 7110.65 FAA
Rules, with more in-depth implementation of real world procedures, and many of the ICAO
rules, Radar Contact puts you in the left seat where you will fly under today's current ATC
jurisdiction.
Whether you like flying the heavies, such as the 747 or the Airbus 340, turboprops, or general
aircraft, RC is ready for you. RC provides the appropriate controllers who give you the
current weather, clearances, taxi instructions, takeoff clearances, ascent and descent
clearances, vectors to the active runway, clearances to land, ground clearances, and traffic
calls for any aircraft in your flight path.
RC allows you to fly Departure Procedures, will accurately handle emergencies, give you the
option to file and fly specific approaches, allow you to practice those approaches, and allow
you to fly to your alternate airport when the weather is below minimums. RC also supports
an in-flight change of destination to any airport in the world.
Since RC is not an adventure, Flight Simulator‟s AI traffic is active, and our controllers will
give you traffic calls when an AI plane comes too close. RC will also move AI before they
become a conflict, slow or speed up AI planes while you are on final, freeze ground traffic so
they do not cause runway incursions. In short, RC is as close an approximation of what real
pilots experience as is currently possible.
RC is a program that runs with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and FSX. Fire up FS, load a
flight plan with RC and off you go.
Who Should Use Radar Contact?
RC is meant for people who take their flying seriously. If your idea of fun is crashing your
plane as quickly as possible, this is not the program for you. If you are or would like to be a
rated pilot, by all means, try RC. Doug Thompson, a real air traffic controller, is one of the
developers of the program. Pete Pitman is a controller based in England, who has helped with
the ICAO rules that were implemented in Radar Contact. A number of real world pilots, in
Australia, Europe, and North America are on the beta team providing John Dekker, the
programmer, with feedback on real world procedures.
Be warned: RC is not a game. You have to be prepared for a learning curve. However, real
world pilots go through one as well. It is only after years of study that a fully qualified pilot is
allowed to control a multi-million dollar aircraft with a couple hundred passengers, or even a
small GA aircraft with no one else on board.

RC does not require years of study. Only a few hours reading this manual and flying the
tutorials will provide you with a solid base of knowledge that will give you years of flying
pleasure.
What is New in Version 4
 The RC Airport/Runway database is built from your scenery files. Therefore, your
add-on scenery‟s information will be available to RC.
 Save RC data (for future loading) can be done from within Flight Simulator using the
semi-colon key (;).
 AI interactions including:
o Ground traffic frozen to prevent runway incursions while you are on final.
o Chatter appropriate to their actions.
o Detecting AI planes that will cause a conflict.
o When you are on final, slow faster planes behind you, and speed up slower
planes in front of you.
 Easy configuration of which Pilots/Copilots/Controllers voices you want to use on
your flight.
 For non-FAA airports, you will specify the transition altitude and the transition level
will be calculated based on the local pressure.
 Easier registration process.
 Debug option to create a log, which can be analyzed to see why something happened.
 International phraseology and procedures.
 Recorded center names, 109 of our favorite airports, and hundreds of aircraft names
and carriers.
 Centers are now divided into sectors, resulting in more enroute frequency switches.
 Aircraft now identified by type of aircraft in traffic calls and during ground operations.
