We want to build a system that gives beginners and veterans what they need to grow as virtual aviators and controllers. Beginners enjoy a more stable communication medium, leading to a steeper learning curve. ATC users will benefit as well because both parties in a transmission can understand what is being said. Veteran users already know how to deal with the older transmission models, but we want you to have the richest simulation possible. No more unintended comms issues, only crisp and authentic radio chatter. We are moving on from an outdated modem basis and misplaced software, and aiming for good quality voice transmissions. Now, when we say good quality, we aren’t aiming for the clarity of Teamspeak or similar voice communication programs. We are aiming for stable comms, with reduced bass and some artificially induced static meant to imitate real-world radio transmissions. Another focus is the reduced latency during calls, and the addition of a warning tone when speaking over each other. VHF transmissions will be influenced by obstacles. The current voice system models of the old networks allow for VHF transmissions only, but we want to expand that and offer you both VHF and HF frequencies. As a special feature, service frequencies are available to airlines in support of our extended airline infrastructure. Additionally, pilots using Rotate’s Voice Transmission will be able to tune into two separate frequencies at the same time, which is useful while multi-tasking your communication operations. Signal strength varies depending on the distance to the transmission's source. In addition, signal strength varies and is influenced by altitude, line-of-sight with and distance from the transmission source, as well as weather and terrain. Including these variables is a good example of the amount of detail Rotate wants to offer you. You could be checking a pilot’s IFR clearance, or listening to your airline radio traffic. From signal strength variance to authentic radio transmissions, from the ability to listen to your controller and the ATIS at your destination at the same time, Rotate wants you to hear the virtual aviation world.

As you manage your airline, you might feel the need to contact someone inside the cockpit. Pilots can pick up and respond to messages you send from the Airline Dashboard right in their Pilot Client. It's a convenient and realistic form of communication. CPDLC can be helpful to airline managers in many ways, such as when coordinating the next flight plan, managing possible in-flight diversions to other airports or re-routes because of weather changes. Indeed, if your airline is part of the in-game economy, you can use CPDLC to improve your pilots’ logistics, thus improving the aviation statistics of your airline, and by doing so improve your airline’s market value. As with most of our tools, CPDLC is just here to help you out in case you want to use it. It's not meant to get rid of other tools such as voice communications via airline owned frequencies, but it should make your life easier and give you more possibilities should you need them.
