I am trying ATC again recently and it is working better these days. But I don’t get any calls to fly a certain heading. And where are the ATC Accents? With text to speech this should be very doable. When is it happening?
ATC does not give vectors for some reason in MSFS. Only “maintain present heading and altitude” and then nothing.
Vectors are essentially for realistic ATC especially on takeoff and arrival.
Of course they are, more so for arrival I would say. In real life I rarely receive vectors during departure, usually a direct after flying the initial part of the SID maybe. For arrival its definitely an important feature!
In my case the HEAVY Italian accent automatically occurs when the sim (for unknwon reason) loose the server connection or says Azure is no longer available. It’s way too marked though, beyond credibility. Caricatural. Another bug is that the voice, when gives info for taxy, reads the text in plain English accent, but pronounce some of the words in Italian, as an Enlgish speaking person would do. Pretty funny but annoying. It may be due to the fact that I set the sim language to Italian, and the ATC text box is in Italian. I may switch to English, not a big deal.
Overall, the way to a functional and credible ATC service is still long. In these days I’m flying in California and yesterday I had to swich radio channel every few minutes, often seconds, again and again, during flight following… untill I canceled the service. We’ll get there one day.
It seems like ATC is always the feature developers try to avoid as much as possible 
it‘s incomplete and nerve wrecking in every sim

It is, set it to english and it stops. I had the sim language set to german and it was speaking “denglish” like our railway service.

But I really like that you can let the copilot do the talking.
English is one of the official languages of India. A lot of people seems to forget that English is not only spoken in Europe, North America and Oceania but also India, the Caribbean and a lot of places in Africa.
There’s no need to wonder about it nor consider they accents and regional grammar as “broken English”.
Well I didn’t know that so thank you for educating me.
Best wishes.
