Many of you have been asking where you can get good ATC Chatter Files.

I am pleased to announce that Stick And Rudder Studios has just released a new product named X-ATC-Chatter.  From the makers of the popular X-Camera, this new offering provides a very nice selection of coordinated short ATC clips to be used with Pilot2ATC's ATC Chatter using the Controllers option. 

This offering is unique in that it provides collections of clips from around the globe.  While not all regions are filled out yet, there is an excellent collection for the US and a growing set for several other regions.  Here's a link to their site with a description and a very nice tutorial video:

The files are being created by a group of volunteers in the community.  If you would like to contribute, you can go to the project site here:

Enjoy!

Purchased, and enjoying the chatter.

I'm glad you like them. We are going to focus on getting Europe flushed out next.

I like it too. Got much fun with the chatter 👌

I just wanted to let everyone know that we posted a new version, 1.1, of X-ATC-Chatter that has more content for Europe. We will be adding even more over the next few weeks.

Although we have an active group of volunteers we can always use more. If you volunteer and submit 100 high quality clips that meet our standard you will get a free license to X-ATC-Chatter. You can read more about the volunteer program here: https://www.stickandrudderstudios.com/x-atc-chatter-project/

Mark,

I purchased Ralph’s ATC files years ago. Can these clips be merged with your product without any ill affects?

Cheers,

 

I'm pretty sure there won't be any conflicts with the file names so I don't see why not.

Mark

 

Thanks for the prompt reply Mark. Thanks for doing this.

 

Cheers,

Yeah Mark, I purchased this just out of support for S&R.  Your X-Camera plugin is a must have.  I bought that one too.  I didn't think I'd use these but I tried it out yesterday and after adjusting my mixer settings to get all the sound balanced I have to say this is a really good idea.   It really adds a lot to the immersion.   I did have a minor problem that may be P2A related only.   Twice on my test flight, I keyed up while an audio file was playing and this seemed to jam my radio open.   I fixed it easy enough by flicking back and forth between standby and active comm freq and it unjammed the radio.   

It would be a neat little feature if a player tries to key up when an audio chatter file is playing and the user gets the squeal of stepping on the other pilot.  :)

 

Thanks for the kind words. What do you mean by the radio was jammed open? Like the push-talk-switch was stuck on. The reason I ask is Dave may want the details on that.

Mark

Thanks for the report.  I'll keep an eye on it.

Dave

No.  The push to talk wasn't stuck, the actually comm frequency stayed open.  You can't transmit on it anymore and the static soundFX I created played continuously which is how I knew the channel was left open after the AI Controller spoke.  I couldn't respond because the AI wasn't letting off the mic.   The only way I fixed it was swapping between my standby and active radio.   I did one cycle and everything returned to normal.

Thanks for the update. 

That was the right fix.  Something must have gotten out of sync in the program.

And: Great addon adding a lot of immersion

Also bought it but I'm using country folders instead of controller folders because I have specific country files for some countries downloaded from LiveATC that I want to use that are more realistic than the X-ATC Chatter files. For the countries I don't have specific files this is great though.
