    "Active" is not used in my country, tje runway is positively identified. On a perfectly calm day, which runway is "the active"?

    Well let me tell you: I've done 4 flights in BATC and 3 of them worked perfectly. The other one had a crash of BATC in the end, but I was able to restart and continue the flight before landing. In SI I had done about 6 IFR flights and all of them bugged out sooner or later, breaking the flight ATC-wise. I'd say for Early Access (with 2 warning screens before you even get to purchase) that's pretty solid, exactly how Early Access should be. Working most of the time, but with bugs and glitches and unpolished.

    I’m finding BATC is pretty good with real world phraseology but we do have consider regional variations across the world. One rule doesn’t always apply everywhere. As for taxi, the preferred statement in NA is just “ready to taxi”. No need to add ‘active’. One goal of radio traffic is to keep it to a minimum.

    Was searching for a fix just yesterday as well. I went through my Honeycomb settings looking for the conflict. Then watched a YT video and boom!! I learned that the PITCH TRIM switch must be ON.👍

    @jstnj Did it fix the issue? Mark

    For me, it's difficult to trim and very nose-down heavy on the descent.

    Is skydiving modeling available for fs2020 simulator?

    In the manual in the troubleshooting section at the bottom there is actually a question that reads "why can't I turn on the autopilot". The pitch trim button and it's purpose is detailed there. As well as in the manual itself. Took me a while to find the little switch even when I knew I had to activate it!

    Just picked this up and was modifying a C414 profile. Glad to have the "official" profiles. Thanks! Is there a Duke and a Grand Duke when you purchase the piston package?

    In Europe there definitely is an 'active' runway at untowered (read uncontrolled) airports. Most uncontrolled airfields have a manned radio frequency that provides aerodrome information (runway in use, wind, QNH), so there is an 'active' runway. There are of course a lot of smaller unmanned airfields where using the phrase 'active runway' doesn't make that much sense.

    Hi, When flying with airliners at cruise lvl around 30.000 - 40.000 the ground looks washed out, almost white, not close to what I see when flying in reality. I know it's supposed to show the moist in the atmosphere, but it's not how it looks. Is there a way to fix it without change anything else in the sim?

    Despite my older hardware, I have a pretty smooth experience (8700K, 1080TI). But this is with not-to-high fidelity planes which I fly mostly.

    Thanks, Gerold!

    VFR is not currently catered for in BATC so "untowered" airports are not included. Try mentioning this to the devs on Discord.

    Great story and excellent pics, P_7878!!

    No discernible performance / quality difference for me, as expected, but I am installing it to try to try to get rid of a 5 second black screen I get at random once per windows session (a known issue, but nobody seems to know how to solve it). It looks like a driver reset to me when it happens. Audio continues in the background and then everything comes back alright, but I have had it happen once in MSFS - luckily not on approach! No random black screen yet with the new driver, but too early to say if it is cured yet.

    Hi. I had done maybe around 10 flights on VATSIM before I stopped using it. I am using BeyondATC now and it's a great tool for learning, and I love how I can take my time on BeyondATC and go as slow as I want. Of course, I am still learning ATC phraseology (10 flights on VATSIM just makes me a newbie). So I wanted to see the phraseology that BeyondATC was generating and if it's okay to follow. Here, I get the BeyondATC pilot/co-pilot to ask ATC to taxi to the active runway at CZBB (CZBB, Boundary Bay airport in BC, Canada, has a tower), and BeyondATC's pilot/co-pilot comes up with this phrase: "N172SB, request taxi to the active": I do a little digging on the phraseology "<callsign>, request taxi to the active" and I come across this blog, which seems to be run by a real life pilot with a PPL and I believe he is also an instructor: So according to this person with a PPL (and I believe he is also an instructor according to the "About Me" page), I shouldn't be mentioning "to the active" at a towered airport (which CZBB should be) and it's a common mistake that new pilots or student pilots make. Perhaps this example is nitpicking. But as I am not a real life pilot, nor a real life ATC controller, how accurate is the phraseology generated by the pilot/co-pilot in BeyondATC? If I follow the phraseology generated by the pilot/co-pilot in BeyondATC, will I be accumulating bad habits? Or is the example above just a rare issue, and the ATC phraseology generated by the pilot/co-pilot in BeyondATC is generally okay to follow and I won't be acquiring too many bad habits? Edit: The pilot/co-pilot in BeyondATC says "Wilco, N172SB" and the instructor in that blog says that Wilco "is not standard phraseology. Usually if you're complying with something it's probably a clearance or assignment, which you have to had read back anyway."

    Tried 3.5.1, 3.6 and 3.7 but the one that still seems to work best for me is 3.5. Not sure why msfs still uses 2.4 by default - Maybe they found that to be more stable - from nemory it provided slightly better visuals at the expense of a little performance.

    I think I found the issue. So far 4 flights without losing focus: Make sure both couatl64_msfs and Couatl64_boot.exe are not running under administrator. Also, make sure you don't run MSFS under administrator. I just had it again and triggered by a couatl64_MSFS.exe crash and restart. I will head to the FSDT forum to share my couatl64_boot.log.

    Clunky - maybe. But extremely reliable. I use PF3 (also for MSFS), which does the stuff perfectly the newer offerings are still struggling with. Of course it also has it's drawbacks, but if I want to enjoy a normal A-to-B flight, that's what I choose. That's the choice we have, and are always going to have: Use the tried & tested, but sometimes outdated alternative, or the flashy & pretty newer one and suffer bugs and missing features. It comes down to personal preference.

    Superb shots and what a nice military colour!! Question: I see you use AS MSFS. Do you experience stutters when as msfs is taking over/loads weather. I use beta 8888 now, but also have the issue that the active setting preset is not taking over the weather in msfs... Perhaps some bad session in msfs on my end...
  26. vbazillio
    No, there is no that I'm aware of. Although you can have a look at my reply on the previous page:

    It seems what you are suffering is exactly what is shown here - stuttering on finals after a smooth flight. If you have the time, watch this because it did wonders for me. I follow all of this procedure whenever I update my driver too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vvi7cZhLcw
  28. A320SimPilot
    It worked. Thank you so much!!!

    I'm on the latest Beta and I'm using the focus app, I have not noticed any loss of focus, the only thing I have seen is "Coutal" shuts down once I get to cruise level. I'm also running AutoFPS, FG, and I have just updated to the latest NV driver and updated the DLSS file to 3.7.0.0, it seems to have upped my FPS by at least 15fps.
