I’m not suggesting a workaround I’m writing what I’ve read so far. I just find the ATC annoying and immersion breaking since even the intonation is completely off.
My point is : in FS2020, ATC was available if desired, but if not taking the initiative of contacting them myself, the character would not do it on its own. It would be silent. You could just start a flight, and takeoff. No need to change frenquency, turn volume off or whatever. This is not possible in FS2024.
(In real life, when I don’t make a radio call, there is no radio call, that’s it, but if we start talking about real life, FS2024 ATC is pretty much out of the question anyways)
