I tried it a couple of years ago Around $33 a month, and you are limited in where you can fly and get coverage. 

See my post above, if "limited" is the whole western seaboard of the US then I don't know what limited means.  Coverage is huge, not every single airport in that area is covered because that would be ridiculous.  In LA every single Class B, C and D are manned but further out the main international airports have coverage and some larger Class C airports.  This may have changed for the better, I've not flown on the network for a while now.

All of Europe, South America, Oceana,. Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Portugal, Brazil, Australia. Lets see  ATC in those places, which I fly all he time in MSFS...   The Western part of the US, is a very limited area of the world.

The only thing I find if you fly at different time it can be lonely at unicom despite the great work all others do.

So I had Pro-ATC for P3D but at this point not a similar product for MSFS

I used to use Pro ATC, in fact I was a beta tester for it, I have been using PF3 for the last 6 or 7 years.

I got rid of about 6 voices I didn't like, still left me with over 90.

Australia does get good ATC coverage. Particularly compared to other networks. Mondays 0730z-1100z is usually the best for ATC. During afternoons on weekends is typically good as well.

I was talking about the coverage that isn't available by Pilot Edge. 

 

 

 

I got a few laughs while watching this one:
