Yes, it's simplified in places and does have its bugs, but Aces at least managed to get the whole package working.
If you consider all the bases that an ATC simulation has to cover (VFR/IFR, AI, terrain avoidance, airspace composition, ACCs/ARTCCs, procedures, different voices, low resource usage, callsign support), it does a bloody good job.
How does it model the interaction with the various agents involved in controlled flight ? Does it take into consideration the type of flight ( vfr / ifr ) and automatically generate dialogues with you from those virtual agents ?Īpparently it also generates "chat" from surrounding AI aircraft ? So, Auto-ATC, from your description, appears to only offer text-2-speech from the default ATC in the sim and not some "AI" chat, although I got the idea from at least one of the videos I watched that it also did so. I alsways found default atc in MSFS and XP pure rubish, so I don't even try to use it. I didn't really look into it, but it seems it is quite professional, with real world ATC controllers practising there. Some Youtubers (like V1, the real Airbus pilot) are really crazy about PilotEdge. Put a info in your flightplan that you are new and ATC will be forgiving (as they usually are). If you have a basic understanding (how to do requests and handle instructions), just hop on IVAO or VATSIM. Unfortunately those automated ATCs are not really immersive nor are they realistic. You can even listen into actual ATC at and pick up things. If you want to learn ATC, there are plenty resources on phraseology on the web and Youtube. I think it is kind of a speech to text interface to X-Plane ATC.
I tried to find out what that software actually does and did not really succeed. When he is not busy finding flaws in the new MSFS2020, he can probably tell you everything you wanna know.Īs any feedback is appreciated, here is mine: The creator of that thing, is around here.
That is the main factor keeping me from trying the demo, unless I can convince wify to lend me her Android companion ?įrom the couple videos I watched - and I am seeking additional media - looks like it does use some interesting robotization of ATC, but I'm not sure how it copes with VFR, IFR, and all of their variants ? It looks like it requires something I do not own - a mobile phone of the modern ages with a fancy Android OS. Org, and would really like to get any feedback from users. Now, I've seen Auto ATC mentioned here and specially at the. SO, until today I keep playing these flight simulation games without really using the ATC component. Opted for a couple ATC robots, but none surprised me sufficiently to adopt it. or find some active controllers available for the regions I used to try to fly from - to.
Tried VATSIM and IVAO long ago, but it could not fit my disponibility to seat at the desktop for a flight simulator session during those times. Along my long simmer life I have never really gotten into virtual / simulated ATC.
