It's not perfect, look on youtube their video from LAS to SAN. They are cleared to take off on 08L while some traffic are cleared to take off on 26R

The video is 8 months old so unless it improved, I think it is not possible to overcome the way msfs simulate the traffic.

For sure, way better and immersive than the default ATC. But not perfect.

Looking forward to it, and the new pricing is most welcome....

.....but only if those "guest voices" are optional and de-selectable!!!!!

I would literally not buy this product if it involved having to listen to 'YouTubers' being ATCOs.

Sorry, but what an utterly awful, gimmicky idea.

Appreciate I may be with the minority on this, but I spat my coffee out when I saw (and heard) those "guest voices".

Where did you see the mention of ‘guest voices’?

Maybe some do.  And that's fine - as long as those who don't want that 'vibe' can turn them off.

The guest voices solely are Auto respond voices. When you don't speak yourself and are using buttons to communicate with ATC (or have Auto respond on because you are flying an unattended long haul) you can select various voices for 'you'. US male, US female, UK male, UK female and then a few guest voices. That's it. Those voices won't be used by controllers.

At the bottom of the BATC pricing page that was linked earlier in this thread.

That is great to hear!

Hm, ok it just doesn’t show up on the mobile version of the site for some reason.

It is an odd place to put it, at the bottom of the pricing page.  I think they're just using that page to announce this new feature.

That is their latest traffic video. 

Also fixed what?

Does this have AI controlled ATC or not? Is anyone able to answer this question already?

IIRC, it will inject and control AI traffic, yes. They showed a video a while back of that process.

[Tuskin38 6,526]

There's literally a video at the top of the page showing it.

I really hope that at the launch of the product there will be an in game panel available with an interface and a log of communication between the user and atc. This is very useful for the growing number of VR users and people whose native language is not english.
