Attacks on BATC...Are they warranted?

OK, let's hear the Asian voices in FShud now.  That should be funny. 

Good one Bob! There aren't any regional voices for Asia - or Australia / New Zealand - in FSHud. So... I guess you "win" again 🙂

If someone wants to hit me on the head with a blunt object - now's the time...

EDIT: 

If someone - anyone - can agree with me that the BATC voices aren't top notch in the video that I just shared - I'd be happy. For my sanity...

  • Seems to me like this is orchestrated. Two threads were started by two who hardly ever post on this forum, on the same day.  Very strange.

    No you just chose not to read the description.

  • It is odd indeed.  I use BATC every flight and while every once in a while it does something that annoys me, it’s generally so much better than any ATC experience I’ve had in any flight sim and it get

I have BATC now, and no the basic voices are just as mediocre as any other program. Premium is better though.

This atc bash fesh needs to stop though.

I am keeping Pilot2atc for GA flying only and love it for that.

So yes, basic batc voices are still just as "meh" as anyone else. 

Windows now allows pretty decent voices now (in the p2atc) forum and they are about the same with basic BATC voices

i do think batc is pretty good. Its traffic controlling is better than attempting to filter out AIG excessive amount of planes.

Having some GA traffic is great too.

But if we are comparing ATC programs merely by their voices then I will vouch that most are the same to me. Little difference.

Pilot2atc has its pros/cons too.

BATC is good for regulating some of the traffic for sure

Real Live ATC from Singapore Airport.  https://www.liveatc.net/search/?icao=wsss.  I guess people are disappointed if BATC doesn't sound exactly like this.

The UI in Pilot2ATC, and I tried it years ago, gave me a gigantic headache. Reminded me of when I had to learn Microsoft Access at work.

Yeah all right so Asian languages are tricky to comprehend. Another good one! 

(I couldn’t actually play the sound on my iPad, but I think I know what you’re getting at).

It's been like that for some time! I spent over 10K with a company and my three computers were down for almost a year. It was so bad that one of the owners came to my house, by the time they figured out the issue a new CPU processor was out.

Told my story here and was chewed out by a mod. I left AVSIM until that mod was GONE!!!

I don't expect much has changed; Tom would roll over if he had the opportunity to see what goes on here now!

Truth be told, I can hardly understand live ATC even if it's perfect English LOL In that regard BATC sounds way too perfect LOL But anyway, since I stopped using accents for the basic voices (which, as we all know, actually aren't accents at all) the BATC voices are absolutely great and do the job perfectly. I noticed btw that even when you use English voices only you do get a slight accent every now and then in certain places... but I do not mind that at all because those accents really seem to be (very slight) accents and not the fake accents the 'foreign' voices have.

I don't think anyone was against the negative posts on BATC. it just got a bit tiresome when 3-4 subsequent threads got opened all to bash BATC. Why not just consolidate it to one thread? Seems like people just wanted a part of the limelight rather than leaving their a opinions to just one thread.

Sometimes the community is a bit odd in my opinion.

BATC just reached the moment where they are asking for a community vote for the next feature to be implemented and had lots of interesting options.

And the communities current  majority pick before the poll is closed is the one that has the least to do with ATC functions: GSX integration.

What the...?! Choosing that over CPDLC??

GSX integration is a nice quality of life feature but not a vital part of simulating realistic ATC operations.
