November 21, 20214 yr Pro ATC/X was one of my favourite add-ons for P3D and FSX. I loved the flexibility and the really good SID/STAR integration and the 'request direct to' features. Not to mention the amazing community support that continues long after things went quiet on the development front. I know that the developer was unwell and had to step back from working on the app. Does anyone know if Pro ATC/X will make a comeback for MSFS 2020? Do you think that the in-built ATC in MSFS will ever be improved beyond its current functionality? Cheers, Dave.

November 21, 20214 yr I sure hope so. Pro ATC/X was my favorite as well. Currently using Pilot2Atc for MSFS.

November 21, 20214 yr I switched to PF3 when Pro ATC X stopped working for P3D version 3.4. I was even a beta tester for Pro ATC and one of the recorded voices too. The producer is almost impossible to reach, and not to active for fixing bugs. I tried every ATC program available after that and wound up using PF3, which I am still using years later. The support is great, updates are frequent and it just works, plus I like the 110 voices it comes with. I seriously doubt if PRO ATC X will make it to MSFS. If one of the MSFS updates breaks something, it will never get fixed.

November 21, 20214 yr Author Oh, I didn't know you were on the Beta team for ProATC/X Bob. I will take a look at your and rickjake's suggestions. 9800X3D | 5080 | 32GB | 2TB NVME | Dell Ultrasharp U3415W 34" | 3440 x 1440 60Hz

When I tried it , it also put a significant load on my CPU. I liked PF3 because the CPU load is around 0.2 % Edited November 21, 20214 yr by Bobsk8

November 21, 20214 yr So what's best for tube flying? PF3 or P2ATC? Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Personally I prefer P2A when I want something other than default ATC but both certainly have their supporters.

When I tried it , it also put a significant load on my CPU. I liked PF3 because the CPU load is around 0.2 % Like you I also love Pro ATC X very much (baring the support 😊). Knowing that we probably wouldn't be seeing the MSFS 2020 supported product in the near future I am trying to figure out which ATC/Flight planner product to get. I am seriously thinking of getting Pilot2ATC and since you have had both, is there any specific significant function(s) "big ticket item" that you miss that doesn't exist in P2ATC? I am not looking for little detail items. One of the features that I liked with Pro ATC X is that it provides the departure rwy and SID (at the time of flight itself not at the time the flight plan was generated) based on the weather at the time; and the same for arrival which is fantastic. The good thing is I can use the same flight plan over and over (never having to touch the plan again unless I really need to) but then get departure and arrivals from ATC which I then put into the FMC during my FMC setup. You get the idea. Thanks. Forshaw.
January 21, 20224 yr I stooped bothering about atc addons when I started vatsim two months ago. The best thing I ever experienced Lukas Dalton
