December 11, 20241 yr Thank you BATC ! I'm in the Supporters "group". Only problem so far is that I just want to use default FS 2024 aircraft as AI, no FSLTL or AIG, but due to a problem with the SDK this hasn't been possible. Is it fixed in the new patch released yesterday - 1.2.7.0 ?

December 11, 20241 yr Author What's this Zulu issue/patch in MSFS24? I haven't tried BATC in '24 yet but one of my concerns was around weather. I read that wx is now linked to sim time and no option to unlink it for now. As I fly real schedules that would mean BATC reading live weather and my in sim weather may be out of sync - is that understanding correct for '24?

It's very poor at descending (even when you ask to start), and hopeless at vectors. Has been since the start. G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

G That's odd, for me it has improved massively in terms of procedures, vectoring and descend instructions over the last couple of months. They did a lot of work on making vectors more accurate, i.e. no more 25nm finals and odd zig zag turns to intercept. I haven't experienced any of your issues in a long time and I'm doing around 40 flights a month with it. Have you tried a reinstall? The things I miss the most right now are speed instructions on approach, holds, shortcuts for long transitions, historic weather support and CPDLC integration. I'm sure those will be added in due course. Otherwise I'm very happy with the progress here - it's a joy to use. The final traffic update was pushed to Experimental last night, adding pushback tugs to the AI and various other things. Once that's confirmed stable Traffic will be released for the main version, so should be soon.

It would be great is Aboso make the weather available - not just for BATC but things like a proper weather radar etc - but their contract for weather data prevents that. The devs are aware of the way MSFS2024 uses historic weather though and are exploring option on how to support that in the future." So, my decision in favor of FSHUD was a very good one! FSHUD can use Active Sky Weather, which I really appreciate! Apart from that I am very satisfied with the development of FSHUD, but I wanted to look for an additional ATC program - unfortunately BATC is out of the question for me in this case ! regards ggerolamo kind regards, ggerolamo

I'm on stable rather than experimental, although I was talking to a friend last night who uses experimental and he thought similar - I'm not sure if the experimental is any better in terms of descending / vectoring. Don't get me wrong there is a lot I like about it, but it still has a LONG way to go. That said the last two flights I did on it were perfect and just starting another (although there hasn't been an update since the vectoring into Aberdeen disaster so there is clearly still potential for it to go wrong).. Although KLAS-PANC so ?? G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

I'm not using ActiveSky anymore but was planning to use the historic sim weather in '24 (in the way it's implemented, i.e. if I set 12:25 departure it uses the 12:25 weather for that location within the past 24 hrs). I think there's an online archive for METARs - can't they use something like that? Even if it only covers the last 24 hours. Or they could store the data they already use for BATC for the past 24 hours on their server and use it that way? I'm ok if it can't read the weather from 10 years ago, but 1 day worth of data doesn't seem unreasonable so it ties to sim time/weather <24hrs?

Unfortunately it's mostly the descent it messes up on, so it's a bit late to swap to an alternative. Unless it starts vectoring and descending me 350nm out, then I'll just shut it down and load up p2atc .. .. G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

December 11, 20241 yr I'm on EXPERIMENTAL, does this announcement mean I should change to Early Access instead ? Still looking forward into being able to use default FS 2024 AI traffic, because I don't want to use either AIG or FSLTL, at least for now...

It hasn‘t messed up a descent for ages for me. I can‘t tell you why Gazza is having more problems than me. I I suggest buying it and trying it, you can always ask for a refund and it will normally be granted if it‘s within reasonable time. Also check the BATC Discord for further reviews (positive or negative). For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

The next big feature will come to experimental once traffic is on basic. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
December 11, 20241 yr It was an update automatically installed yesterday. Is it the update they were talking about or we still need to wait for additional package? 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
