With the release of v6.5, FSFO has become one of the top tier add on’s for MSFS. Giving users a fully functional Co-Pilot for an ever growing range of aircraft, it also includes, for free, RAAS, and the best Career and Company simulator I have ever seen.

As far as I am aware BATC have a close relationship with Navigraph, so yes anyone with a subscription is covered, and this will also include BATC's latest innovation regarding Live AI aircraft running alongside (but outside of) MSFS. For those without a Navigraph sub it make no difference as the AIRAC used will be the default included in MSFS. It will however disrupt some flights into airports where the ILS is out of alignment, however this can be alleviated some what by the the use of Aero Soars software (do a search). BATC, although not shipped with as many bells and whistles as SI has "many" advantages such as, One payment, local voices (free) are now almost indistinguishable from subscription voices with many accents from all parts of the World, IFR and VFR ATC that is improving with every update of which there are many and a great UI, which makes it a dream to use.

BATC's AI Aircraft are controlled by a separate specially written program that runs parallel to but outside of MSFS, using any available AI aircraft models such as FSLTL, AIG, MSFS Default etc. This alleviates any FPS drop in MSFS and allows BATC to do things that an integral program would not allow. Regarding airport layout etc, this is firmly within the remit of Asobo/MSFS, although it is possible to edit airports and BATC are doing this all be it very slowly as there are thousands that need adjusting.

Live Real World Traffic Date injected directly into BATC!Hello @everyone, We have some exciting news to share about a feature coming to BeyondATC very soon! Many of you will have seen Navigraph's recent announcement of their partnership with FlightRadar24, which brings live real-world flight data to the flight sim community. Read more here - - it's a game-changer for immersion, and we've been working closely with Navigraph to bring this data directly into BeyondATC to take your traffic experience to the next level. We're thrilled to say that development is around 80% complete, and we'll be rolling this out to our experimental builds for testing very soon! Here's what you need to know: * ***What it is:*** Real-world live traffic data integrated into BeyondATC, supplementing your existing traffic experience * ***What's required:*** A linked Navigraph account with an active Unlimited subscription * ***Is it optional?*** Absolutely — this is an entirely optional addition. Our schedule-based traffic will continue to be included as part of the one-time purchase price, because we remain fully committed to keeping core features subscription-free * ***When?*** Experimental build testing is starting soon — stay tuned! We can't wait for you to try it out and hear what you think. As always, your feedback during testing will be invaluable in shaping the final release. Once we are happy with the outcome of testing in our experimental builds, it will move into our EA branch for everyone

It's very simple; during install say "YES" to Chaseplane converting your controls. Once installed "Follow the setup wizard", it will allow you to set all basic camera positions. Once the basics are setup you can: (1) Set up each camera yourself or (2) Download a chaseplane camera set for which ever aircraft you are currently flying. There are also some great tutorials available: https://youtu.be/NT3E82pOWWQ?si=DXdNQhOLQaY6-nbj

Can't imagine how you have lasted this long without it!

and it's totally Free!

and a perfect BATC vectored approach supported by FSFO: Wild Ride Into Vagar

Wild ride into Vagar with BATC 🫣🤪

I use BATC at least twice everyday, I have used it since release and watched it grow and mature. "Beyond ATC is just not there yet"; Yes that's stated clearly on their website and in the application, as Vincent mentioned above, they have a roadmap and are following it explicitly. I very rarely get a problem except with airports such as Paro, 99% of the time ATC instructions are perfect and with the addition of "Local Voices" I don't have to spend any money because they are not only free but almost on par with Premium Characters. I have never had or have been given the impression that the devs are "out to make money". And with excellent support and very regular updates (in experimental) I am extreamly happy with not only the current state of BATC, but also it's future. So I would like to publicly thank the Dev's for their dedication, generosity and hard work in bringing us flight simmers IMHO one of the best (and getting better) add on's for MSFS EVER!
