  • A very basic first step. Stage 1 will not work at untowered airifields.

    "just take-off" 😉 Unfortunately, even on non-controlled airfield, you're not flying alone and air-to-air communication is something that is worth to get simulated 😉

    That's what AI does.

Do we know when this might arrive?

IFR is still a WIP. I'll guess, maybe by this summer.

Per the Discord Channel: 

It will be very soon for the Supporter's users

Supporter pack cost $29.99 which I just got. No update yet.

If you're flying out of a real airfield without a tower or whatever then you either just take-off or contact the nearest atc available.

Us "non supporters" are still waiting for the IFR improvements: 

My prediction that maybe by the summer we will see VFR's 1st release more realistic.

Yes, quite true. I was thinking of here in UK I know of airfields in the middle of nowhere where there is nothing atc-wise until you can perhaps contact a Flight Information Service. I was watching a video yesterday of a chap in Cornwall who just pulled his aeroplane out of a large shed and took off. No radio, nothing. Seems perfect.

On one side, I fully understand the freedom of flying without the burden of radio, airspace... etc... On the other as it's a discussion on ATC in flight sim, the problem is solved if you don't want to talk at all to anyone 😉

Yesterday, I flew from San Francisco Intl (KSFO) to Half Moon Bay (KHAF) which is CTAF/Unicom. With the competitor of BeyondATC ON, I heard a Challenger and a Citation passing their messages on CTAF. Ok, the whole true story is that they call everything for runway 12 but taxi and takeoff runway 30 😉 There's still room for improvement in this AI traffic's calls. But at least, they were activity on the field and on the frequency.

May be the pilot did'nt see very well the windsock at park, and moving on taxi he chooses the other !

happens in real live some times ...lol

very well simutaded 😄

At "uncontrolled airports," the pilot uses the radio to broadcast his/her intentions. The Pilot is trained to listen and even ask what runway is in use based on winds or other factors. The pilot must also consider the traffic pattern and altitude and be able to effectively broadcast position. At some airports there are traffic patterns and wind indicators that include a windsock, wind T, or tetrahedron.

If there's one thing hat the video shows is that most of the time IFR is much easier than VFR when it comes to being the PIC.

Yes but no 😉 There's 100% of change that it's a Say Intentions bug. It's real bad luck (and I can't imagine SI creating this intentionally) that 2 planes announced taxi to runway 12 and finally takeoff runway 30 without noticing the CTAF. No way. It could happened in real life but it's 2 real huge pilots errors. Not to mention that this field has a AWOS.

I'm not sure if this is a typical simmer thing, but I've spent much of my sim time learning how to fly airliners under IFR, and now I'm working 'backwards' learning how to fly a GA aircraft under VFR.

The great scenery and ground detail in 2024 and some excellent aircraft models from A2A and BS have increased the appeal of GA flying enormously, and hopefully BATC will add some convincing ATC to the mix.

once i started batc a while back and I've loved it since. Premium voices are a lot better but really im in it for the great traffic/performance on top having a solid atc. it simply just works. 

i fly vfr often as well and just pretend my ifr clearance is a very closely "followed" flight following 😀

you confirmed that BATC doesn't inject any VFR-like trafic so far? I think the video mentionned that AI injected trafic are a long way to go...
