BATC does all traffic end to end. Turn off all other AI traffic and injectors.

No, as I said there is no other injectors. You should turn off anything else that generate traffic. BATC delivers a full system for traffic and atc - injection, animation, control ++ of airplanes, on ground, in air, taxi, pushback - everything. From departure gate to arrival gate.

But how BATC is compatible with FSLTL then? Developers said BATC was compatible with FSLTL and FSTraffic. I don’t understand that. Maybe it’s obvious, but I can’t see it.

BATC will simply use the AI model library from FSLTL or AIG or FSTraffic, thats it. Handling of the AI planes in the sim will then be done by BATC.

Sorry for sounding repetitive, does that include routing of aircraft between airports worldwide like FSLTL does with Flightradar24?

Unknown at this point. BATC has not said what their flight data source will be, or even if there will be just one. It might be FR24 as with FSLTL or it might be something else. Personally I hope it supports live data and also AIG flight plans for flying at non-live times.

The intention is that BATC will directly control all AI traffic in the sim, so while it can use the models installed by FSLTL and AIG and others, it won’t work ā€˜with’ them.

Lots of this stuff is covered in the preview videos. I’d go watch those if you want a better understanding of how the product is intended to work.

I hope the developer will add traffic controller later tater at KLAX. If anyone watches LAX planespotting live streams you hear him. The way he tells the pilots on the departed flight. Contact deeeeeparture lol

If they do that, they must sample Kennedy Steve’s voice for JFK. How amazing would that be!

Using a celebrity voice without their permission is a law suite waiting to happen.

At no point did I say they should do it without his permission.

SayIntentions.AI has ā€œSteveā€ working JFK ground so it can be done.
EDIT: Never mind, it appears they are using his idioms but are not emulating his real voice. Sorry about that!

Using SayIntentions, I got this taxi instruction from a KPHX ground controller the other day:
ā€œā€¦taxi to runway 26 via Hotel. And remember, even though it’s just a taxi, always keep your eyes on the roadā€¦ā€ :grin:

Perhaps but can at least make the current voice in the software to speak like them or similar to them

Hopefully there’s a capability in BATC to activate/deactivate a guttural ā€œSEEEEEYAHHHHHHHā€ when leaving a controller frequency. :slight_smile:

Looks like BATC is asking for people’s opinions/votes on its discord as to whether to release soon with IFR but without traffic control or to hold back release (2 - 4 months) until work on traffic is completed. The traffic update would apparently be free when it was ready.

Tempted to vote for a release now. Not sure what anybody else thinks.

I hope they release it now. No reason to wait for traffic as its completly separate part. If you dont want to play without traffic you can just wait to buy anyway :slight_smile:

I hope everyone vote for release:
