Pittsburgh to Morgantown Controller
For FS-ATC 2.1

No doubt many folks would love to fly above the clouds from
Pittsburgh International to Morgantown, West Virginia--home of the
11-0 Sugar Bowl bound West Virginia Mountaineers! (Go Ers!) With the
PIT-MGW controller and a few other goodies, you will be able to do
that just that. You'll even be able to communicate in real time with
simulated air traffic controllers. The controllers will call out
positioning information to you all along the route. When you break
out of the clouds, Morgantown's Hart field will be dead ahead!
The PIT-MGW controller simulates a Crown (USAir) commuter flight from
Pittsburgh International to Hart Field in Morgantown. The air route
follows the actual route flown by the commuter (weather permitting)
several times a day, seven days a week. The aircraft usually flown is
a Shorts 330. With full out throttle and a little imagination,
Microsoft Flight Simulator's Cessna 182 can come close to emulating
the Shorts.
This is the first of what will be (hopefully) many controllers for
Microsoft Flight Simulator and Miika Asunta's FS-ATC. I would enjoy
hearing from private or commercial pilots or from air traffic
controllers. Maybe you have a flight plan that would be fun to
simulate. I'd be glad to work with pilots or controllers in creating
new controller files, especially for ILS routes that professional or
private pilots have flown.
Getting started
To use this controller you need three things:
1. Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0 (Mac version)
2. FS-ATC 2.1 Air Traffic Control software for Microsoft Flight Simulator
Macintosh version 4.0 (Available on Sumex-Aim and Nautilus CD-ROM.)
3. Mallard Scenery files, SD-11 World Scenery and SD-9 World Scenery.
Please see the read me file. It contains more information on the
controller and on how it operates.
I worked very hard to make this controller as accurate as possible.
Its development involved numerous conversations with professional
pilots and air traffic controllers. I hope you enjoy it.
