| ICAO - EU - UK Phraseology Mod
BACKGROUND
As a real world airline captain, former flight instructor & radiotelephony instructor I know all about the importance of proper ATC phraseology and became quite bothered with the MSFS implementation of it. Therefore I have completely re-written the ATC text-to-speech to reflect correct ICAO phraseology for both VFR & IFR flights. I've included some Eurocontrol recommendations but the overall differences from ICAO are minor.
I have reached the limit now what I can achieve with the current ATC system as it is lacking options and features to make the phraseology 100% correct, but overall I think it is a big improvement over the default ATC. Items which I could not include due to missing functionality are still included in the text in between brackets in the ATC window, just not in the text-to-speech.

NOTE: The ATC voices in the above video sound like kindergarden because I've used the WINDOWS OFFLINE voices instead of AZURE for shooting the video, this has nothing to do with the Mod itself! Pictures and videos are multiple iterations old, the final product has much improved since! I will update the photo's and videos to better reflect what the finished product looks like whenever I have the time!
RADIOTELEPHONY MANUAL
I've included my 100+ page complete guide to proper radiotelephony for free! I wrote the first version of this years ago and has since been used extensively in real world flight training. It includes tons of real world examples!
LIST OF CHANGES
- Overall tweaks and improvements.
- More customization options added.

Hi, is this compatible with SU11? Now the original locPak file is much smaller.

You haven't installed in the default location, you can do a Windows search for it and make sure hidden folders visible.

I Just deleted my original locpak file. Is there some place where I can download new file? Thanks
CaptainRude91 1 month(s) ago
The installer creates a back-up in the folder where the .locPak file is located.

this is causing CTD with FSLTL ai program. flew last night and this morning and CTD on takeoff. i took it out and flew now with no CTD. put it back in and caused CTD
CaptainRude91 2 month(s) ago
I don't know what program that is. This mod only changes the phraseology, if it crashes using this Mod I should most likely do the same using default ATC. Are you sure you tested under the exact same conditions?

Using this with SU9. Clearance request says "..., information XX, QNH (and then no number, just QNH), request clearance...". Why is the baro pressure left out?
CaptainRude91 3 month(s) ago
No idea, I have not seen this problem yet. Maybe its a bug in MSFS at a specific airport?
Eric_H1983 3 month(s) ago
I have it too, I wonder if they don't give out baro pressure if your over a certain altitude as you should be using std at FL180 or over anyhow? I got a QNH reading at a airports.
hemish 3 month(s) ago
Or it could be missing if actual baro pressure happens to be standard pressure, 29.92.

Has this been tested with SU10? Anyone know if ATC has changed for SU10?
CaptainRude91 3 month(s) ago
I have not seen any problems so far in SU10 beta, but I have to say, I haven't flown much in MSFS recently. If something doesn't work, feel free to write it here.

Hi.Can i get IFR clearence for aircrafts like pmdg 737 or MD 82 with this?Default atc can not verify the flight plan on these planes
CaptainRude91 4 month(s) ago
It works the same as default ATC, just the phraseology is different. If it doesn't work using default ATC, it won't work with this either.

Thanks for your reply!

Great addon! Would love if it was adjusted to work better with helicopters. Standard msfs says "helicopter +callsign" but this addon does not.
CaptainRude91 4 month(s) ago
That is because that is not really a thing in Europe, its very rare to hear "Helicopter" or aircraft type combined with a callsign. I also deleted abbreviated callsigns because MSFS does not abbreviate callsigns correctly.

Very nice addon thank you for your effort. One thing though that bothers me a lot: Can it be done, that in Europe they call it "Flightlevel" after passing th transition level? I hate that like in the US everything under 18.000 ft is expressed in Feet and not flightlevel!! Can that be changed somehow? That would make the experience perfect
CaptainRude91 4 month(s) ago
Unfortunately this can't be done. That is for Asobo to implement, it can't be done with a 3rd party mod.

Not functional with simbrief plan? When move aircraft in gate instead of runway
ATC not contact me for approach and descent
CaptainRude91 5 month(s) ago
It is functional with everything, it only changes the text-to-speech, not the working of the ATC system itself. The only problem is requesting a IFR clearance at an airport where there is no ATIS, the first message will be missing but the readback is there. Otherwise complaints which have been there all turned out to be problems caused by other mods or faulty installation.

MSFS crashed during loading after installing this mod
andycheung0218 5 month(s) ago
Problem solved. And if you also met the problems like (game crashed during loading & when installing the mod, it said out of memory), you can check my solutions
Nedodo 5 month(s) ago
Should I redo the installation after restarting my PC or will it automatically work?
andycheung0218 4 month(s) ago
I think you need to redo

Brings immersion to the next level!
This mod is awesome and adds so much more to the sim. However you have to reinstall it after every update, it's a must have 😊
Orangespore
What a hidden gem. A must have for all those, who wants to lift the realism of msfs 2020 to a new level.
ATC phraseologie becomes more realistic (the limitation remains, but still)
On top you will get a Radiotelephony manual if you really want to to learn the real radiotelephony (usefull for practice and may get more confident to have you soon in VATSIM or IVAO)
Thank you, Captain 😊

my english is not very good i am sorry about that. i have some suggestions . There must be an emergency landing request for the application you are making, there must be a heading request.
CaptainRude91 7 month(s) ago
I can't add options, my mod only changes how things are being said, not what is being said. I did re-purpose some request, like request airport directions to wind check for example, but that is all I'm able to do.
farshad
New update to sim 9 ??
CaptainRude91 7 month(s) ago
Nope, no update needed as far as I'm aware.

How can I delete the mod?
CaptainRude91 7 month(s) ago
Place the original en-US.locPak file into the fs-base folder. If you don't have the original, there is a link to a Google Drive in the installer.
The whole description how to install and uninstall is included by the way...
