So, here is the question. TIA

I think it's good. Haven't had a runway incursion / traffic still on runway for weeks. If you don't take shortcuts on your own or do things like pausing your game on approach or using sim rate on approach, it will be very good.

 

My question would be....does it improve the woeful runway animation of the AI planes? AI planes using the default system neither rotate nor land properly.

Thanks.

As we are talking here, what is the source of BATC AI traffic injection? For some reason, they do not allow me into their Discord (invalid invite)

And one more.

Does BATC talk with ADE file? Let's say that if a taxi link is broken (typical case with many ADE files), how BATC deals with this situation?

BATC aircraft do rotate. BATC completely controls the aircraft's movement, it doesn't use any of the default AI systems.

I'm not sure, I don't think I've used it with a broken link. It might just say 'taxi at pilot's discretion'

But how AI planes deal with this situation?

AI and players get the exact same instructions. Probably just routes them around it.

If there's no other route, I have no idea.

I know at airports with missing taxiway names (like Asobo/Gaya's KATL), the BATC just gives players and AI a path to follow.

Can anyone point me to any BATC videos showing the animation of the AI planes during take off and landing? I have just watched one (at SeaTac), and the animation of the take off was woeful. Just like default, the planes were literally jumping off the ground, and then rotating. Not even close to the quality of the AI plane rotation behaviour in P3D. This video was four months ago, so I am hoping that significant improvements have been made since then.

There's two videos on the BATC discord showing what you want. https://discord.com/channels/1082413096045391915/1163299301980635177/1306829874597728256

They have improved the animations very much in the last couple of weeks, they are now very good.

As others have mentioned, it's as good as it gets. It's worth it. If the File is not good, it will have you taxi on your own. If the file is corrupted, it will not load that airport and present an error.

That Discord link is taking me to an "empty place"?

You need to be part of the BATC discord channel I suppose. Anyway it's there in the "progress" channel, latest 2 posts

Thanks. I have successfully entered the inner sanctum

EDIT: The landings look good now, and the take offs have significantly improved.
