Haha, some great guesses in here. 😄
For now we’re staying focused on showing the actual system first. More WIP footage soon.

Did I miss the post with the WIP footage ??

The first post as well as the web site reads like it was written by AI.

The entire website is marketing AI solutions and not a word about flight simulation mentioned anywhere.....just bizarre. I'm not fully convinced this guy is even a human. Should probably be another section of the forums for promoting/marketing of products that don't exist......especially when the posts are written by AI bots...

Also:

Subscription Pricing = NO!!!

I completely understand you and I hate really hate subscriptions. That's why we've creates simpassengers with a "one time payment" but. There's a very big but in here.

Controlling the traffic, handling the approaches, departures and ground tower services are like, creating a very big monster that eats up all the CPU&GPU time over at the server. Infra costs a lot of money believe, even on development level it's expensive. So if we do offer it as a subscription, it would not be because we want to follow a trend. It would be because the product itself requires an ongoing service behind it.

But we're planning some flexible pricing methods too. For example, if you are not a frequent flyer, you don't have to pay as much as a frequent flyer.

Anyways... Those are not decided yet, when it's ready I will publish them here and ask for your opinion. Please don't forget this "I am a simmer just like you, and the only difference between you and me is that I have to run a company" that's all.

With all my respect.

Hold up (:

My company is called ACE Solutions and we're creating AI based software for aviation related industries. Creating software for MSFS is not my website yet but it will be. And I'm not AI, even though my family and close friends think I'm running on CPU & GPU power (:

In the real-world (not the flight simulator stuff) we are creating software for aviation companies and trying to digitalize them. For example creating smart rosters that can be created in minutes compared to human generated ones that takes days.

Anyways... As I always say, First of all SP was created, only for my personal taste and pleasure then my team pushed me hard on it to release it. Now here comes the ATC addon.

I'm guessing Kurt Russel and/or Harrison Ford, both avid aviators. Or wait!...Tom Cruise!

Ha. More likely Two Tone Murphy. Ow my ears! 😂

I like the PAYG model you get with BATC premium voices. A subscription costs the same every month even if you've haven't touched the sim.

So, you've made reference to your "marketing team" earlier in the thread and other references to "your team". Yet your website doesn't allude to a business on a scale that would have it's own discrete Marketing Team and a decent sized staff count. In fact, I got the feeling that it was just you.

This just feels like a pretentious attempt to make out that you head up a large IS business. ....and I just can't see it.

He has made reference to us seeing the "WIP footage". Then acknowledged there was no footage. How could you think you've posted footage of your product in a thread, then remember you've posted nothing but text claims?

Some will be upset by my cynicism, but I am just not buying anything this guy says. Seems like something in between a fantacist and a scam artist.

If hard evidence proves otherwise, my apology will be comprehensive..... but my BS detector is flashing red.

In your response to me, you claimed I'd missed "the easter egg" and that the whole purpose of your post was the "celebrity aviators" that you alluded to.

Now that some people have started discussing that, you have played down who it is, and are now stating that you'll "stay focussed on showing the actual system first". 😵‍💫

That's a mighty confusing message!

I think you underestimate what can be accomplished by a skilled vibe coder. Take SayIntentions.ai as an example; with the latest models and someone who understands both software development and aviation, it could be reproduced with a couple of weeks work.

Why not dial the negativity back a little and just see what comes? You're hardly encouraging this developer to try and improve on a much-needed ATC/AI/MSFS solution.

what time zone you are in? getting curious 😀

so no product, no videos, just marketing and hyping up gash. this is really getting ridiculous, this is supposed to be a forum for helping each other and useful info for flight sim enthusiasts. becoming a regular thing for posts like this, total nonsense. make a website showing your product, make a video, post video to youtube. market on said video, instead of trying to lure people in to something that doesnt exist.

oh wait, while im at it.... my new thing, i am building a flying bugatti out of recyclable water bottles, 0-60 in 1.7 thrown bottles, will have orange engine, ummmm blue wheels and a cb radio for ham users. coming soon.

And now I'm out....

This guy has released a legit product called SimPassengers that does what it says. I've bought it, have been using it, and getting rapid support. He even reached out to me to say I was running the wrong version which is pretty amazing. I'm not using said product simply because I have sayintentions giving me cabin crew vibes and for no other reason at all, not that I was upset with the product.

Perhaps he can pause this thread, or lock it, and quell any of the negativity with some actual meat on the bones of a product in working order. People want something to see or try out.

I would pay a subscription, but only if it was very good. Every time I see a SI plane disappearing or smashing into the runway, I think about giving them my $20 a month. It does always get my from start to finish in a far more authentic and better way than BATC does. I get reroutings for traffic, different speeds, get put in holds and all sorts. It's just about passing the test. The thing with subscriptions is, we can always say no, and stop them, if the product stops being worth the money.

Subscriptions exist now because we are flying over a photorealistic, evolving world where we are routed from start to finish with near Vatsim levels of skill, by an always on intelligent agent that covers the entire globe. In P3D we didn't have this, which is why software was a one off $14.99. You get way more now and pay way more for it.
