Because sime in an other thread said how good BATC has become, i tried it again last weekend. Was okay for the most part. But on fact SI is for me the much more complete solution. More immersive. Regarding TOD. Even in real world ATC does not know the exact TOD for every aircraft, so i would guess it's quite normal to make a "ready to decent" call.

Think i have to try BATC again. Last time i used it (beginning of the year) it was in my opinion clearly lacking behind SI. Especially in terms of immersion. Do you hear rhe Aircraft in front of you when waiting for take off in the coms in BATC?

It's in the pilot portal settings. I think it was under preview. But I'm not at my pc right now. I have deactivated it. For me there was no eeal benefit. And in order to have it to display on mobile or tablet, pocket sky has to be running. If not, you get a verbal error message over and over again. I have the charts open all the time on my laptop. It's like the presence detection. Nice but also for me not really beneficial

In the SI Discord someone bought it did few more testing. I does have cloud popping, and the overall quality of clouds is bad (i have settings on ultra). Yep, it might just be Active sky

The only real difference would be of the transitions are not noticeable. I'll wait till someone other flips the coin

That makes sense So for BATC the live Data is the base for the own injection

But all the injectors which use live traffic will have the same problem. Sequencing The traffic is already sequenced and how do you fit in there I'm fine with SI, even when it's not live. But the immersion is higher when i can hear the aircraft around me ATC wise and also ATC is aware of them. For me ay the moment the better approach

I'm 50 hours into my career with EWG and it's really fun. So much fun that i quit using APL2 50 hours ago. And also in the 50 hours the career mode did get constant additions like fatigue and just recently you have to be on time according to your flight plan and have to have enough fuel left when landing. I like it a lot. And Hyno is a hell of a developer. Very fast and very open. If you are on the discord server, you really have the feeling you are part of the development and can have an impact In comparison to APL2 it feels for me at the moment less like grinding

FlyHub Has the best career mode i played. Stoped using APL2 since i have it. Con: It's a subscription, but only 3 or 4 $

When flow is not loaded, rhe shortcut brings you nowhere

But if you have turbulence at 100% it's nearly impossible to land because there are huge airspeed shifts during final approach

I use AS only in the passive mode. So that everything regarding weather effects comes from AS, the rest is MSFS. The greatest strength in my view is the fact that MSFS ia ver good in modeling the weather as a whole. And it's very consistent. Maybe some thunderstorms or similar things are not placed on the km spot on. But the weather as a whole is most of the times correct. And MSFS ia very good in modeling local weather like rain showers. You would lose some of rhe strengths if you use AS in mormal mode and not passive mode.

As far as i know active sky fs do not have own cloud textures and instead uses the MSFS clouds

I like SI more in regards to IFR flying. BATC for me feels more scripted
