Not sure that I'm entirely on topic here, but I have a "weird" (if that word even applies with the stock atc) experience now since using little navmap (which I think is outstanding) - at some random point during the flight, the atc seems to kill the autopilot nav function, and the only thing that gets it back on track is to cancel ifr. Any experiences of this sort (or suggestions where I might find an answer to this)?

 

Many thanks

It used to work in FSX and P3D.

Just follow the flight plan and the chart(s)

I mostly use stock ATC for aural immersion during takeoff and after landing to guide me to the gate. 

Too bad, all the other ATC addons pretty much suck word not allowed in one way or the other.

I agree. Phonetically they're all stitched up and sound awful, while procedurally they may be somewhat accurate. I don't get why base MSFS isn't utilizing the Azure Text to Speech option, there's so much that can be improved ATC wise.

MSFS is using Azure Text to Speech.

That's why if the servers are down the sim switches to basic text to speech.

I wonder if that's realistic though...? The whole idea of procedures is that a pilot can fly them himself so ATC won't be bothered with it. ATC should only interact during that phase of flight in case of vectors afaik. FSHud clears you for the STAR and then let you fly it yourself: the next altitude it tells you is when it clears you for the approach. (BTW FSHud also sucks at calculating the TOD: I usually start the descent myself at the calculated TOD and usually FSHud will catch up with me later on.)

PF3 had been doing the same thing for years. Once you are on the approach it is up to you how to fly it. PF3 will only advise you k of speeds you need to be at.

I know they are, did you check the link and actual ability of text-to-speech available from Azure? Pretty cool stuff, I burned half an hour playing with this stuff. 🙂

Ps. If I'll win this Power Ball tonight, we will have an awesome ATC addon. 😄
