Well, so, I'm really looking fwd into it !

What I didn't get from the vid is if it's a full a380 simulation or just the Crew Cooperation module for a particular A380 (fbw or Inbuilds) ?

@ConstVoid, yes, now that you mention it, I do recall having that feature in the latest releases of FSHUD !

This applies to default airliners and other aircraft too, OFC, but, as I say above, then it should be optional. For me, paying the yearly NavData subscription, which is actually difficult to find in their PRODUCTS page, or even more paying for monthly or yearly full subscriptions (navdata + charts), which, I should say, are simply great, no doubt, and integrate with their excellent apps, is unfortunately too expensive for me these days, and I believe the same may apply to other simmers. Last time I used the sim I was good enough with Flightsimplanner + the default Airbuses / 737 MAX, then I was "forced" to use SimBrief (for free) to copy & paste the route over it, and be able to acquire it in BATC, but loading the Fênix A320 would make me go through a sometimes not that linear typing of waypoints and constraints for SIDs and STARs not available in it's default navdata. IMHO authors of these aircraft should make it optional to get the data from either the default in-sim AIRAC or another free or payware option. Users would be advised of potential limitations, but they could opt for it...

I see, then they should make it an option, for simmers who can't pay for a Navigraph subscription more than what they pay for the simulator itself... One should be able to opt for using the default or another (Navigraph or the like) product...

Could be read from the default MSFS 2024 navdata AIRAC, just like the default aircraft, including the Inibuilds 330, 321, 32N and probably the Boeings too can... Default Fênix navdata last time I tried was from March 2025. ONLY way to update it would be through an (expensive) Navigraph subscriptoon, yet when using Flightplanner.com a rather up to date AIRAC is used, and the default airliners use it.

When using the web based MS/ASOBO Flightplanner when a default aircraft is chosen, for instance one of the Inibuilds airliners, we get "unknown aircraft profile". Is there a way to get default profiles for these and other addon aircraft?

These kind of addons has been florishing, specially with the advent of LLM technologies. I still look fwd to a complex / realistic / didactic ATC robot to be made available... Let's hope for teh best :-) This one looks promising, but again, it is still just "an idea"...

Dear Graeme, first of all, thank you for sharing your life experience going through such tough times. I have experienced, twice in my life, situations not even by far comparable to what you're going through, but somehow similar when, first my father than 10 yrs later my mother had cancer, and me being their only family was their sole carer. Flight simulation has been, along a good deal of my active life (I am just 62 :-) ) my escape, fallback, in many circumstances, specially during periods when my real life flying was interrupted and I still had to feel close to aviation somehow. I don't have many friends, and the few I have are excellent, but live far from me, so, going to the pub and sharing some good beer and good times is not possible, but while I am somehow a critic of the way people sometimes make use of social networks, truth is they are a benefit for when those we like to share our ideas and thoughts are so far apart. Actually the use (daily use) of AVSIM has been a constant for years, and many many times I run loading the forums in my browsers just to be able to read and share my passion with the others, but also to come here to "Hangar Chat" and be able to read and post and "talk" as if I was with friends at the pub. I'd say, AVSIM IS MY PUB !!!! and I am really thankful to all of those whe make it possible. Sharing thoughts and experiences, sharing passions specially when around us in our family and job lives we can't actually share our passions or life problems, are also ways of keeping "alive" and closer to what we really like or would like to do in our lives. I believe the way you use flight simulators is a great one, and very similar to my own, since I also mostly simulate airline flying / jobs, do short or medium haul flgiths and get away from the desktop to cope with house tasks... I could never go VATSIM, although I have a really old (from the beginning of VATSIM) account, so I don't even take the ATC part as seriously / "professionaly" as you do, but I do try to simulate airline flying as close to real life as possible, and, it is probably my best treatment for many of the quirks in my life which, not comparable to what you're going through right now, still cause me a lot of stress at times.... Dear Graeme, ALL OF THE VERY BEST to you and Ruth, keep strong and positive, (I am sure that's what you actually do every day of your life, even when it's really geting tough...) keep sharing your passions and your quirks with us, feel free to PM me should you find it useful !!! P.S.: Being Portuguese, not using any AI or other methods to write in English, please mind that some of what I write can sometimes not be written in the most correct / inteligble way for English spoken interlocutors....

I thought it would default to a rather outdated nav database if I didn't have an active Navigraph subscription, and didn't use the default MSFS 2024 navdata but I was wrong, probably FSHUD has that limitation, not BATC. Thanks ! Default Database Details Source: The software pulls airport data, approaches, and waypoints straight from your simulator's native installation. AIRAC Cycle: It uses whatever default AIRAC cycle is currently active and provided by MSFS 2024. [1]

Before leaving flight simulations as a whole I started undocking addons that were expensive to maintain, particularly all of those which somehow forced me to spend my money in yet other products in order to work as expected. BATC was such an addon, and even though I liked it, having dropped my Navigraph account for good and started to rely only ( and more than sufficiently ) on MSFS 2024 default navdata, which by this time for instance is already up to cycle 2609, and addons that could cope with the defautl nav database, I stopped using it... During my last sessions in the sim I only used default aircrat, mostly the airliners by Inibuilds, which use the default nav database and can have their flightplans imported from the MS Flight Planner "App". It worked great and the latest updates to the ATC and Live Traffic made MSFS 2024 default more than enough for my needs. At most I do with it what I used to do with either BATC or FSHUD - trashed their directives and went on my own, using a more logic ATC sequencing, until they catch me up again, if ever... BATC should offer it's users a way to independenltly from other products, like the rather expensive Navigraph subscriptions, be able to use default navdata, made up-2-date by MS / ASOBO.

Delicious! (as always...)

Sem atividade desde sei lá quando ??? Mas já não há simmers que falem Português nesta Terra ? Sou só eu ?

The BEST SIM Ever !!!
