    I believe the thinking is that taking off on the correct runway is critical enough that you want a belt and suspenders. Consider also that some airports have parallel runways with the same taxiway feeding them. "holding point A runway 28L" and "holding point A runway 28R" are pretty close, and confirmation bias can come into play (i.e. the controller or pilot hears what they expect to hear). So having the runway be cleared and read back twice seems like a worthwhile safety net.

    i think he did a good job of show off how to maneuver with the autopilot on and off. As far as the aircraft I think is worth it given with autopilot feature for someone who is not use to flying this aircraft like me would be a benefit for VFR flying. It appears that they model alot in the aircraft and what I like is they provide a good deal of documentation. So I think will be a good challenge, change of pace for something different to learn. Those are just my thoughts.

    When @sloppysmusic asked "will you ever get GA's or altitude holds/holding patterns assigned", I think they didn't mean "will we ever get this during the lifetime of the product" but "will you ever get this on a flight with the current version of BeyondATC".

    Should it be BACK edge sync or FRONT edge sync?

    For the big picture and the full immersion of being part of a properly sequenced and separated air traffic flow I use FSHud. It just had a new update adressing the few remaining issues and it works great. I really see no point in using a so-called air traffic control addon that just does not control air traffic. I see many simmers enjoy the voice interaction BATC (and SI) provide, so hopefully both BATC and SI can keep going and evolve into real ATC addons some time in the future. Until then, I enjoy FSHud, the only real ATC addon currently available.

    Obviously a case of feeling this is an attack on their sim of choice, thus you have to find some ammunition to fire back with, even though it has absolutely zero relevance.

    I have no idea that's why I'm asking! I do know the default ATC definitely detects and reacts to AI as I regularly get GA commands after an ai plane gets stuck on runway or FSTL injects one on my flightpath (or INSIDE my plane if I'm really unlucky!)
  9. ha5mvo
    Hopefully indeed! Point was, that BATC and SI are apples and oranges, hence no comparison. I wish them well but one needs to acknowledge also that it's a half (quarter?) baked product at this stage that has little to nothing to offer over existing products - at least for the foreseeable future.

    Make sure you are calibrating your airspeed indicator for TAS as those are the speeds referred to in the manual, not IAS. To calibrate TAS, you can use your pressure altitude which you find displayed on the garmin transponder and then move the airspeed indicator dial to align pressure altitude with OAT.

    How would we know since it does not insert and control any traffic at this early access stage?
  13. martinboehme
    Not sure what the answer to any of these is. I've seen various types of behavior on the flights I've done so far, but that just seems to be down to what the algorithm happens to do - it doesn't seem very sophisticated yet. I believe it currently doesn't do any of those.

    Hi, can you please send me a link for RC4. Thanks
  15. Farlis
    That's why you get a hold short point with a Letter which you read back. That exists only onces and therfore you can't mistake the runway.
  16. crosswind started following The two best addons I ever bought don't exist for XP12?
  17. crosswind
    Not sure if these will work with XP-12 but they are the only options there were available for 10 and 11, and are a bit dated. Not sure if JP has plans for XP12 as he has worked mostly in the P3D & MSFS platforms.

    Not related to the OP, but not true either. FBW and Fenix Airbuses at least do it in MSFS 2020...

    Problem here is that the other ATC addons (apart from SI) are way more advanced and actually work. BATC can also work but I have yet to do a single flight without a bug (if I let ATC guide me). And I've been flying for a few months with it. And I see fixes coming for the same old bugs I encountered at the beginning of the beta. So the question is how long the users will support BATC. I was away for the weekend and when I came back to Discord this morning the amount of posts in the bugs section were immense... way too many to even start reading them. And mind you, there is no support ticket system or anything. It's just one looooooooooong list of all kinds of things that are going wrong. I really wonder how the devs are picking the fights they have to battle. Take note: I am not a BATC-hater simply bashing it. I own the supporters pack and love BATC. It just is in a really bad shape right now. At this moment peope are getting fatal errors with BATC which I never had (or which was never mentioned) during beta... so there is a LOT going wrong with BATC right now. I really think the dev didn't know what he was getting himself into. (Which is supported by what I posted earier: that he said its impossible to create an ATC addon that will work for every airport and procedure world wide.) And still I keep using BATC for every flight LOL
  20. jcomm
    I hear you!
  21. sloppysmusic
    Thanks for clarifying that but it raises another few questions: If BATC is not actually providing separation but 'virtual/imagined' separation then what is it basing its course guidance on? Random deviations to give appearance of some kind of external aircraft behaviours or some kind of scripted deviation algorithm? I'm sure it's not just telling you to follow the flight plan you filed? When does it offer direct vectors to final as opposed to following your STAR/APR? If BATC is not influenced by ai planes, will you ever get GA's or altitude holds/holding patterns assigned then to avoid errant planes/runway incursions? Surely not unless they are again randomly generated or scripted for the appearance of realism?

    On SU14 & not sure if I disabled the GNS units, so will look for the instructions. Thank you T45
  24. martinboehme
    This is pretty dependent on the country. As an example, many airports in Germany have long "transitions to final" that have a very long downwind. These transitions to final connect to the approach but will almost always be shortcut by ATC to a greater or lesser extent depending on traffic. These shortcuts may come in the form of a "cleared direct" but are also often given as vectors.
  25. martinboehme
    This isn't really even a lesser goal. Of course ATC will provide help if asked, but to put it bluntly, navigation isn't ATC's job -- it's the pilot's job. So from that point of view, it's fair to say that there isn't strictly any point in an ATC addon that doesn't control AI traffic or at least separates you from it. If you were the only plane in the sky, you'd simply go direct to the IAF every time (MEA / MORA permitting). I think the premise of BeyondATC, as it currently stands, is that there is an implicit assumption that there is traffic out there somewhere, and BeyondATC is issuing the kind of instructions that you'd expect to get to stay separated from that traffic. I'm able to accept this premise and enjoy BeyondATC in its current iteration, but I understand that others may not.

    It's in early access with a long way to go, If BATC sells well it might have better future than any other ATC mod in flight sim history. Other ATC addons might not generate the users/funds needed to fully develope them, BATC is alot more affordable which will enable almost anyone can afford it, which will fund it well into the future (hopefully).

    Asobo did say they started from the FSX code, and developed from there. However, in some interview they also said something like "we basically had to rebuild everything". In the end, there are just a few FSX elements which were kept, but maybe not in their original shape. A part of the flight model, named "legacy mode" for example, is still there, although nobody uses it anymore (fortunately). In comparison, P3D is still mostly ESP with some additional features.
