In Simbrief Airline ICAO code you enter EZY UK then the flight number. If it was British Airways ICAO code BAW then the flight number…BATC will recognise that code and use it.
| easyJet UK | EZY | “EASY” |
|---|---|---|
| easyJet Europe (Austria-based) | EJU | “ALPINE” |
| easyJet Switzerland | EZS | "TOPSW |
BAW will be speedbird
So inthe ICAO code you enter EZY in the flight number you enter 64JW and BATC will respond Easy 64 juliet Whiskey
Great - thanks for the advice. I suspected I was making the error, not BATC. I’ll try this when I’m back home.
So are the Flight number field - and also the callsign field under Aircraft Info - not used at all?
Yes, I see what you mean now. The ATC callsign can be different from the flight number, although sometimes they are the same.
For example, the scheduled flight may be EXS465, but the operational ATC callsign could be EXS91UB, which would be spoken as “Channex 91 Uniform Bravo.”
In SimBrief, enter the Airline ICAO code (e.g. EXS/EZY/BAW) and the Flight Number in the Flight Info section.
If the flight uses a different operational callsign, enter that in the ATC Callsign field under Aircraft Info.
BATC should then recognise the ICAO prefix and use the correct spoken telephony name — e.g. EXS = Channex, EZY = Easy, BAW = Speedbird — with the appropriate flight/callsign identifier. Sorry I probably was not clear. Please find arttached a copy of my Simbrief profile for Jet2.
Someone further up this thread posted this
Looks like the Callsign field overrides the entry in the flight info section.
In simbrief you can specify the airline’s call sign e.g easyjet EZY Jet 2 EXS Tui TOM then in the next box type flight number 64JW if you in type EZY in the first box and 64JW BATC will refer to you as Easy 64Juliet Whisky
Appreciate the advice (and pointers to BATC guidance). I was clearly putting the flight number elements in the wrong field and the callsign in the other. I’ll pay better attention to the guidance and give it a go when I get back to the sim this week.
BATC really does provide me with much greater immersion … as do the FBW and GSX addons.
any other users have this issue? I tried a VFR flight today in VR and the BATC toolbar window wouldn’t expand the response choices. They were all bunched together in a single line. Expanding the window taller only increased the upper message area. I have a feeling that I’ve got a mismatch on the basic BATC program and the toolbar addon.
Update: I think I figured it out. There is a new version of the toolbar add on for use in the experimental branch which is the one I’m on. I’m sure the next flight will be fine.
Known and confirmed issue.
DEV said they know what is causing it and will have a fix on a future update.
Can we change the default location of the new toolbar to the left side and smaller fonts?
Smaller fonts only as an option !
When I’ve been assigned an ILS approach I don’t seem to be cleared by ATC all the way down to the Final Fix altitude. I wondered if when Im cleared for the ILS approach whether this is a license to descend as required - or whether I’m missing something.
Best is to always report established, sometimes it grants you clearance without it but sometimes you need to report.
Ok thanks very much.Will try that.
Minor Version 1.10.1 Experimental
A further vectoring rework that should finally settle the circling and oscillation issues, charted missed approaches flown properly on a go-around, a clean-up of the duplicate or missing radio frequencies the sim hands us, a new US VFR flight following flow, and Toolbar Beta 3.1.
And the API label issue on the traffic map is sorted - yay

Vectoring Reworke[0m
Vectoring has been reworked again, aimed squarely at the oscillating, circling and “extra loop” behaviour some of you have been seeing. A re-vector now only happens when it genuinely needs to, rather than every time you drift a little, and the re-vector itself is more accurate when it does fire. ATC will also no longer read out internal vector points that were never meant to be spoken aloud. e[1mWe need as many different vector-style flights as you can throw at thise[0m, so please report anything that still loops or wanders.
e[1;35m
Charted Missed Approaches On Go-Arounde[0m
Go-arounds now fly the published missed approach procedure when the approach has one, and fall back to the existing vector path when it doesn’t. The procedure is flown from the missed approach point and every part of it is applied: the climb-to altitude, the rest of the legs, the lot. The vectored path back onto final has also been smoothed out.

Duplicate & Conflicting Radio Frequenciese[0m
Sim scenery hands us duplicate and clashing radio frequencies at a lot of airports, and that has been quietly breaking tuning for you and for the AI. Conflicting frequencies are now properly deduplicated, which clears out a whole family of long-standing problems:

I just want to say big thanks too the BATC team, the last update on Experimental and the current state of VFR gives me the best ever experience on MSFS ever. I play MSFS since the early days, but this dense airspace and traffic feeling is great and I want to give credit to the team.
Best spend MSFS money ever, can’t expect what feeling stage 3 of VFR will give.
I agree VFR is already great, and even though there’s no VFR traffic yet you still get the feeling of flying through busy airspace thanks to all the IFR traffic. The only missing part is VFR traffic landing at smaller airports, flying circuits etc. to make the world feel even more alive.
I also appreciate that you don’t have to plan your VFR flights in Simbrief. You can just quickly put your starting and landing airport directly in MSFS, making short VFR hops fast and easy to set up.
My only wish (with winter and worse weather coming up in the northern hemisphere) would be to load weather files (.wpr files) or custom Metar into BATC instead of relying on real-time weather. It’s going to get harder to actually find VFR weather to fly in by the time Stage 3 rolls out.
In new in game panel v3.1 is there a way to filter on only my comms or do I need to buy a notepad?
EDIT: found it, it’s now called ‘SHOW TRAFFIC’ for some strange reason
I’m liking the new in game panel though.
Love the toolbar!
Please make it so the font also resizes. Either automatically as we resize the window or manual like a setting where we can choose the font size.
Everything is big on my screen.
