Looks great, but the vector to the localiser didn’t get him lined up. It looks to me like he had to vector himself a bit further around as the video jumped at around 18 mins. 

Lots of jump cuts.

Wait, an even shorter explanation:

BATC does the exact same as any addon with a Navigraph AIRAC of its own does: BATC just doesn't need a Navigraph AIRAC of its own because that Navigraph AIRAC is already installed in MSFS (unlike FSX or P3D.)

Simple as that. The video complicated things without reason.

Are you suggesting that the MS/Asobo SDK/API provides full access to *ALL* ARINC data loaded via Navigraph, including for example any and all airports I might need to divert to?  I’d be a bit surprised at that…. Unless that is actually the case, then things aren’t so simple as you portend.  I mean, MS/Asobo don’t exactly have a sterling reputation when it comes to APIs, either in terms of completeness, accuracy, or stability.  I suspect the real story is actually quite a bit more complicated, which may explain why the developer was talking around the subject without being particularly specific.

Its all just speculation unless the developer is a lot more concise or there emerges a storyline from users having had considerable time with the product.  Currently we have neither.  Just a bunch of YouTuber’s trying to make a living by getting lots of ‘likes’.

Yes. Why would it allow only access to data for some airports...? All airports for which Navigraph has data (which aren't all MSFS airports!) can be flown to using Navigraph data. I am not sure why this should be surprising.

I've been a beta tester for a few months testing BATC almost daily: I'd call that 'considerable time'. 😉
