FSX multiplayer is the epitome of realism imo. Unless you get into VATSIM.

[QUOTE=Marbalo;52497275]Jokes aside, I wonder if there are training methods that ATCs go through to be able to quickly process information and react to that information in real-time as it appears. Like, a normal person would take thrice or more as much time to react to a given situation compared to an ATC, and it usually follows with a bunch of "umm"s or other speech pauses in between sentences, especially in situations when we are required to carefully choose our words, i.e - remember callsigns and other such jargon and incorporate them fluidly into the information we're relaying. I dont know, Ive always wondered how some people just seem to have a natural knack for articulating themselves better than others.[/QUOTE] I can't speak for ATC but for pilots it's just practice in a controlled environment with an instructor present to help you every step of the way. Until you're comfortable talking on the radios. It will get to a point where you no longer need to think about what to say. It just becomes a reaction
