Oh boy Aerosoft is such a mess. Releasing an update without any apparent testing right before the whole team is on a leave. I'm glad I did not buy it. Always trust the gut feeling

It's crazy how many AI-developed tools for flight sim are coming out right now. It's like anyone with a (hopefully) creative idea absolutely has to put it into reality these days. I feel most developers that do this have no development background and consequently no idea how hard it is to actually maintain an app after AI created a prototype. This severely limits the potential of these apps. Don't get me wrong, I've happily used AI to generate my own RealisticPayloadGenerator app (with the free monthly AI token I get via PyCharm), but it's just for my private use and I can actually develop myself, so I can fix and refine stuff. Selling it would be a whole different level of commitment and would need a lot more effort.

Okay actually never seen that one before. Usually it's that people can't connect from the start because something kills the simconnect process (AV mostly). Your case is not something I've seen before. When it happens again, can you please check whether in the task manager a process called "simconnect_ws.exe" is still running? To be honest, if you're on Discord, I suggest you ping me over there; I'm not on Avsim every day, so I think I can try to help you better over at Discord. No guarantees, as it seems like you've already tried a lot of things, but I'll try my best

Basic voices will be discontinued because the free provider is just too unreliable. They also have no or very bad accents. The local voices are generated locally (so no delay), derive directly from the premium voices and have very convincing accents. They are much closer to the premium voices than to the basic voices, so please all swith to the local voices.

Whatever LFPG you buy, don't buy the Azrsim one. All of their airports - like every single one - are broken in almost every possible way, except the visuals. Or to put it better: It's visuals only. The scenery data is broken, the performance is non existing (they don't use a single LOD) etc. And the worst of all - you tell them that and they say "sure we'll do an update!" and instead they release 5 more airports with exactly the same problems, OEJN being the most recent and even worst of all. There is absolutely no progress of any kind with them.

What is the exact error message? It's not about the voices, is it? Don't use basic voices, they are very unreliable; local voices are much better.

There's no Spirit in live traffic, not evne for the parked ones. Devs have made sure that all defunct airlines are filtered out from ther parking spots if live traffic is active. Only with scheduled traffic you get Spirit (as it was still alive in 2025)

Yes correct. This is because there's no data from parked aircraft (transponder is off). Only when the aircraft becomes "active" on FR24, BATC can see it.

From what official members have said on the Discord, in MSFS 2024 it's fine with PG off and some are flying with PG off themselves. I can confirm this with KJFK at least, which was unusable on MSFS 2020 with PG off. I've also noticed ini doesn't write "only works with PG on" anymore so into their product descriptions (for 2024 airports at least), so there's also that

Sorry... but what does the Scenery Manager do? It moves my sceneries to a very secret location in the planet Earth...? Am I missing context?

It's simple - those kind of details are actually rather easy to model (you can even use pre-used textures or straightout models) and they look very "good" on product pages, suggesting a very high level of details. And that's what sells for most people these days.

Yes it is clickbait, but you haven't seen the video have you? He analyses the scenery in developer mode and e.g. one of his findings is that KATL has over 100.000 (!) draw calls, while something not exactly lightweight like ini EGKK has 2500. Also many objects seem to have no LOD whatsoever.

No Navigraph needed for BATC. The base sim navdata is working fine and is updated regularly.

Hard pass. They haven't even got a working autopilot 3 1/2 years in. I have it, so I speak from experience.

I suggest you get on Discord and also take a look at our tutorial, a lot of the questions are answered there within. 1) If you reconnect in the air, you do not have to file a new plan, just announce on frequency and it will continue fine 2) You can change the runway and approach. I do both regularly. Needs to be an active runway of course, but at least one that fits your aircraft type will be active at all times. Again, look at the tutorial and wiki for more infos. 3) Yeah the "report when ready" readback is a bit too strict. You need to say "call when ready" at the end. This interaction needs more freedom of phraseology. For anything else please get on Discord, post a log and someone will tell you what's going on. It takes some time to understand BATC's flows and that's why we have an extensive wiki. That said stuck traffic is likely a bug, but even then no one can fix it if you don't file a report.
