I’m not able to complete a flight for weeks without ATC dropping out … no fun when they keep canceling my ILS flights …

I think I have heard of add on ATC products. Can anyone recommend one? (I use VATSIM, but that’s not always available when I fly)

thanks

My recco is just: don’t use it. Whenever vatsim is unavailable I just fly with no ATC. Best to wait for BeyondATC which is looking like the only worthwhile ATC solution.

B-ATC isn’t the only player in this space.

Pilot2ATC and Beyond ATC would be the two to look at,. at the moment.

If you fly on the West Coast of the US, check out PilotEdge, however it is a paid Service but guaranteed coverae.

I’ve used most of the solutions out there, originally in P3D. P2ATC, Pro-ATC/X/SR, PF3 all work in MSFS. All have pros and cons.

If you wanted something right here, right now, I’d say go with P2ATC. Pro-ATC seems to be dead (again) and I honestly expect it will die for good when Beyond ATC comes out. PF3 has its champions but it doesn’t really suit my way of flying.

For the future - Beyond ATC looks beyond exciting (see what I did there?) and I’ve only just heard of Smartsky.ai (thanks @CasualClick!) but will check it out.
