For all the controllers out there you'll be delighted to know that Blind pilots, we often fly on the network with the callsign vision, have within our community developed a software to allow us to read taxiway data and use an auditory system to guide us through airports. Many of you may remember the frequent request to reposition to the runway as we were unable to taxi, by majority those should now be gone. Admittedly taxing with auditory cues only can be a little slower, and the software isn't perfect, occasionally we take a wrong turn, but who doesn't. We would ask for a little more feedback, especially if it seems as though we're heading the wrong way or when in large cues of other aircraft, as this can help with our situational awareness. However on the whole this is something we're now able to do pretty well. This is really revolutionary for Blind sim pilots especially in those large events where the repositioning could often be difficult to arrange.

Hey pilots and controllers

Before I say anything, I dont want to make this seem like a rant post or like im trying to coherse you into playing in a certain way, fly however you want

That said, im genuinely curious, why does everyone ALWAYS fly within Europe or North America

I rarely fly out of South America since im based there, and have always noticed that the skies above these 2 continents are almost always empty or scarcely populated, without even getting into controller staffing

Is this just a me thing? Like, why do you fly where you fly? Is it cause of your airline or cause you're based there or are the weather/airports easier, cause people never seem to get tired of flying in and out of the same airports, Every. Single. Time.

Thus creating a feedback loop where no one wants to tower the airports in south america and africa cause the traffic is too little, causing people to not fly into these areas cause they're never staffed, and so on and so forth as the events start to dry up and nobody wants to bother becoming a controller for these areas

Again, no hate to anyone flying in Europe or North America, I would just like to see people leaving their comfort zone every once in a while to make the traffic distribution more even, and hey you can discover some beautiful destinations while you're at it!

Anyways what do you think?
