Gents,

I increased my airliner traffic slider to 70% and it did make a difference in that on Sydney Approach I got one AI aircraft transmission and controller response and then the same AI contacted the Tower when I was on short final.

It seems that because there seems to be only one Centre Frequency for the whole flight, combined with the AI reality bubble, the radio goes quiet shortly after transferring to Centre because there is no other sector to transfer the aircraft to, or from which to enter my sector.

I don't know if Australia comes with just one generic Centre Frequency (there is no Melbourne or Brisbane Centre in the Control Centre Mapping screen). If AI Chatter has purposely been toned down for approach then perhaps my experience as a person who really only flies in Australia then AI Chatter stopping on climb for the rest of flight seems to be a design outcome.

I did get a Q400 departing Sydney whilst I was on Approach pass right in front of me with my TCAS going off without a traffic advisory so I need to perhaps look at my setting there (it must be default as I have not touched that).

Every cloud has a silver lining though and I have learnt I can run AI at 70% without any performance issue in my normal area of operation!

Kind regards,

Mark

Perhaps if you ever update the product I am happy to help as to where the frequency boundaries are in Australia. I can provide my credentials privately in this arena.
