Here we go for one more test flight - just before SU4 1.6.16 gets release - in Southern California. Purpose was to challenge MSFS2024 of course and test SayIntentions VFR only with the new VFR injection.
The planned route in Foreflight with the FLY San Diego chart. Departing just at the Mexican border, at Brown Field KSDM, towards downtown and the Coronado bridge, then proceed overhead San Diego international for the Delta transition northbound. Finally, land at Montgomery Field KMYF. All this at 1’500 feet with the WBSim C172. Here we are on ground:
Let’s set everything for SayIntention: ATIS on COM2, Ground and Tower on COM1, Departure frequency on standby COM2, Squawk after receiving the clearance as I requested VFR Flight Following to KMYF @1’500ft.
SayIntentions VFR injection improve greatly immersion. Traffic(s) are making patterns. I heard arriving aircraft and radio call matches their position, what I see outside.
Although way not perfect. I was cleared for take-off and on the center line another traffic was cleared for touch&go ;(
All the radio calls and ATC replies (replay available from the SayIntentions pilot portal) all along the route:
California photogrammetry is really great. You spend time looking at details, specific construction, baseball field, villa’s with personal pool…
SayIntentions switch me to departure that was reluctant to switch me to Northern Island (as it should in real world) then to KSAN Tower for the Delta Transition. Instead, SayIntentions wanted to switch me over… Montgomery. Easy 
Over Colorado bridge, Navy construction harbor, Hilton Coronado and the Petco center among the place I immediately recognized.
Downtown, approaching San Diego KSAN. I had to force (ask several times) the switch to San Diego KSAN tower for the Delta Transition. SayIntentions insisted to switch me directly to Montgomery, despite asking explicitly for the overhead KSAN and the Delta Transition northbound
I guess I have sleep in 5 or 6 of the visible hotels in this pic (Manchester Grand Hyatt, Hilton, Marriot, Omni, Hard rock…), The Marina, Coronado bridge on top, the convention center, the (new) Seaport…
Total mess of commercial traffic injection at KSAN I heard just a departing aircraft over SOCAL and a long final. Great audio ambiance. I wouldn’t be taxiing with SayIntentions on ground.
Joining left downwind 28L. It’s not that often that SayIntentions doesn’t through me on the other side (right downwind 28R). Great integration clearance. Straight forward. In the meantime, two departing aircraft send over SOCAL and one ILS approaching aircraft on the 28R. I was cleared to land on the correct runway (yes, sometimes SayIntentions goes wild) way before reaching end of downwind. Great “as-real-as-it-gets”.
Can you spot - on the GPS log picture above - the exact moment I figured out that I was heading to Miramar instead of Montgomery ? 
Great exercise for the PPL that I am. This is why I love my PC Sim. Train. Make mistake and learn from it.
Once landed, taxi clearance was “ok”. SayIntentions still doesn’t care of parallel runway and once you’ve vaccated one, you’re with the ground. Period. And good luck to have a crossing runway clearance
I requested Gibbs apron where my former club is (Plus One Flyer). Gibbs is the old name, now it’s Executive park if I remember well. I didn’t test in SayIntentions. Anyway, it recognized my call but clear me to a specific stand, the #62. Why ? Don’t know. Overzealousness. Not realistic.
I think I participated to fill data on Montgomery KMYF for SayIntentions. To have specificities (like the limit altitude clearance somewhere else) in what they call AirportIntune or something.
Overall a good SayIntentions experience. It’s quite new as I spent so many times being frustrated by the (expensive) add-on. They were always a think that kill the immersion. In this flight, it was above OK, helped by the VFR injection.
