BeyondATC official poll - release now or later?

Featured Replies

To be more precise: Release sooner without AI traffic OR release later with AI traffic.

Here's the poll link:

Personally I've chosen "sooner", I'm quite happy with AIG + AIGround + AIFlow, what I really need is a humanlike immersive ATC that works.

EDIT: And here's the discord link explaining the poll: https://discord.com/channels/1082413096045391915/1117850343607369888

I say sooner. If you don't like a feature missing, just don't buy into it yet. However, you'll have a large influx of new users to test it out, making it even more polished and refined by the time its feature complete.

[MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]

 

They could just follow the trend and release an "Early Access" version and then updates thereafter, everyone's a winner.

Saitek X45 HOTAS - Saitek Pro Rudder Pedals - Logitech Flight Yoke - Homemade 3 Button & 8-directional Joystick Box, SNES Controller (used as a Button Box - Additional USB Numpad (used as a Button Box)

I say sooner too. I've been flying with BATC for quite some time now without traffic and I don't really mind doing that a while longer. Specially if it indeed will take 2 to 4 months before traffic has been added (which is an estimate... might take longer). If they will indeed release sooner (no idea when exactly) it will still be some sort of open paid beta or early access, I think. This will help improving things even more before traffic gets added.

Well, that's what it will be, really.

Personally I've waited this long (what's a few more months), having FSLTL traffic being managed by BATC would seal the deal for an immersion factor for me. One thing I often disliked was the feeling of being alone on Vatsim (at times).

I'm more than happy to wait for traffic to be implemented, but I know FOMO is a real thing in this community and can confidently guess what majority will vote for.

Release when VFR procedures are included.

Do we save anything by getting it sooner and not having the extra features?

Okay I see the price will be the same. No thanks.

That's a point of discussion right now on Discord. Most think VFR is too complicated too add within a few months and it seems BATC will first release with IFR only (airliners and if possible GA plus uncontrolled airports), then traffic will be added and, from what I understand, VFR will come after that.

Hang on , I’ll just ask the “say intentions “ controller what they think on the matter

I voted later. ATC without controlling other aircraft is worthless. We have that right now already. Releasing it now would mean more work for them that could go into testing, which would delay the final release even more.

😆  Loving SI so far.  Nice to have so many "smart" ATC options!
