Hi,
I have just been looking at this addon for FSX: http://www.justflight.com/product/live-atc-chatter What I would like to know is if this allows you to listen to live ATC from UK airports in FSX. Does anyone have this who can confirm whether or not this covers the United Kingdom? Thanks |

It won't as it's illegal to listen to ATC in the UK without a radiotelephony licence.
(However, your chances of being prosecuted are very very slim unless you use that information for something bad). But streaming live UK ATC chatter will get you busted by OFCOM faster than you can say boo! Hence why there's no app for that. Buy a cheap scanner, and sit it next to your computer! But remember, it's technically illegal. |

Ah right, thanks for that. Seems a pretty strange law though, how can it be legal in some countries but not in others. Its exactly the same conversations, just with different accents.
Oh well, at least I checked before buying it. |

In exactly the same way that many things are, gun law, alcohol, drugs, ages of consent, etc... |
