Mine only ever gives me climb via sid or decend via star. Never any specific instructions. Is this something I can expect to change when traffic injection makes it's way to the standard version?
What comparison??? BATC cant do VFR, cant do AI co-pilot, AI tour guide, progressive taxi lights, dynamic arrivals and tons of other kool features. If you try it, you wont look back.
Love SI. Tried BATC last night after a long hiatus. Although the traffic is cool ( and costly on frames at KATL), it 0:48 is still doing a terrible job with approach vectors. Left me sky high on a visual approach to KCAE. I will put it on the shelf again until they improve this--which really should be a priority vs. Traffic injection.
Woah nice intro!
Thanks
Thanks for the video, i was just going to buy it and your video really helped me with my decision!
Glad I was able to help
lol great landing classic… definitely not butter but still epic haaa
wind shear got me ...lol
This was a terrific tutorial. Thanks!!
You are very welcome...I am glad you found it helpful
why is my ai traffic is INOP while i have the full version of the product
You have to actually activate the experimental version in your accounts menu I made the same mistake. If it’s already activated then I’m sorry i don’t know why it would do that
Si is really amazing . I have both and like both. Beyond is good now with the traffic and that gets better every week. With si you feel like you are talking to real people and just like in real life you get to ask anything you like and you will get a reply like say if you want to change a sid our star our runway our approach you can do. With beyond you are more on rail tracks and are limited to what you can say. Even with the traffic so far si is far better with traffic on its way soon . Dont forget the voices i am told with si they will be the same quality for both traffic and pilot transmission. Really Its all about what you want to pay. Which ever you go for they are both good
Very true SI feels more like being on vatsim with the voice realism. Thanks for watching
So at Boston Sayintentions is departing traffic ffom rwys 4R, 22R, and 15, all at the same time. Is that for real.
No i had the say intensions pre recorded background atc chatter on so the other departures you hear are prerecorded from previous users…they don’t have traffic yet
SI is the way to go. And they get better each and every day. Simply amazing
SI is just in another level, no matter how good BATC is. It all comes down to whether you want to pay a one off or not. If you can afford SI, go with SI. You've seen nothing that can compare. Also the speed with which it gets fixes and new fixtures is unheard of. Both are awesome efforts, both are worth your money. And let's not forget about Pilot2ATC.
SI has that potential but I don't think the long time it takes to process it's instructions is going to cut it once a real world level of traffic is injected like BATC does now! I'm not sure BATC will ultimately work and it's processing time is about half that of SI. I'm not sure SI will be able to keep up with a realistic load of ATC communications at a busy airport such as Heathrow! It's hard to get an opening to communicate with BATC now,, and that's with only a traffic level of 5 it's going to be much harder to do with SI! BATC and especially SI has to improve their efficiency in response time, if they're going to work with injected traffic,
@@tf51d this is exactly what I thought up until I started using that little fantastic addon which has transformed my MSFS world. I don't care about the delays anymore, as they're at most up to 4-5 seconds. it's not that the human ATCs reply within a second in the real world either. But SI wasn't always like that, only a couple of months ago they had delays of 8 seconds. And now they've halved it. As the tech matures (they're using 19 different AIs!) they're bound to do the same when AI traffic is a thing. It may still be an issue in very busy hubs but it won't be elsewhere. VATSIM has exactly the same issue if you try and fly near Gander control on a Friday night you have to wait something like 30 seconds before you get your turn and perhaps 10-15 more until you get a response. SI is MSFS life, there's nothing that can compare to it.
@@captainzeppos I not saying it's an issue now, but when SI implements traffic injection like BATC, all during the time it's processing each Instruction both from you and the AI traffic around you more AI instructions are queuing up behind leaving little time to get an opening to make your requests at an airport like Heathrow or Atlanta at a busy time. I'm having trouble with BATC so I know SI is going to be even worse! What both need is some kind of queuing system, to slip in the user's requests. I think that might only work with auto-respond (or Copilot mode in SI) mode though!
@@tf51d In fact, SI AI response times have improved dramatically recently. Less than 4 sec.
@@tf51d But there's no cue in real life. You have to wait and jump in sideways on a busy freq.
Thanks for the comparison and kind words! We have lots of stuff planned for the future and no signs of slowing down yet 😎
It is a great product thank you for the hard work to make it happen
I also have both and thought that BATC would do it all for me. That is, until I tried SI. They are both very good, and the developers work hard to improve their products. For me, however, SI has the edge.
Have both, although Say Intentions is the better one in my opinion. The ONLY benefit with BATC is the traffic injection.
BATC is also procedurally more accurate in many ways, but SI is more dynamic.
I have BATC, but once I tried SI, that was it for me. Ive paid for a yearly subscription of SI. The audio is dramatically better. They continue to improve it all the time. Im glad we have options though
I agree and SI's voice model is way more natural
I'm still with say intentions because of the vfr capability but promising voices are alittle better on say intentions
I just did a flight with SI yesterday and it had been awhile and they have come a long way since i last used them. They’re vectoring algorithm is spot on brought my right into the IlS
Great! But voices seem a touch slow
Do you mean that they talk slow?…that might be by design so newer people to atc don’t feel intimidated would be my guess
Is there a way to make the ATC voice not yell at you?
They don’t really yell at you it is possible that it is an audio issue with my recording. There is a volume control in the options
Just my 2 cents, I have both, SI and BATC , in the future, when both of them have traffic, when using premium voices for traffic in BATC , you will be close, to the price point of SI , and you will need to fill up your premium voices package often, given the fact that SI is much more flexible I believe in the end they will be the winner, but that is just my opinion, competition is always a good thing.
Lol the race on, but the more I use both I think you are going to be right with this one si feels just a little more real when i talk to them. None of them beat Vatsim
Yeah, maybe, but here you have coverage always, everywhere, and no stress to upset the controller , for many a big plus😅
After using say intensions for a couple weeks this really sounds robotic. They’re working on getting traffic going. Not bad though.
I think it's very cool and impressive what they've been able to accomplish with this. Personally I just don't think I could listen to the AI voices for that long, they're not bad but you can tell. Also I can't help but feel a bit lonely lol vs. Vatsim. Anyways, nice video!
Thanks for watching and the kind words….I think this could potentially be a nice alternative for when those times there is no traffic or controller on Vatsim…it’s not even close to being better but it is new…it will definitely be good for those intimated by online ATC. Say intensions does edge it out being VFR capable but that is also on BATC’s roadmap although i believe pretty far down that road.
The pilot still sound like a robot
The voice answering atc is the basic voice set the only premium voices for auto response are youtube content creators. I don’t think its too bad a little wooden maybe
The controller ain't definitely having a good day, dude sound as angry as heck...lol
Lol i know it reminded me of the youtube videos of JFK ATC
Appreciate your review and showing us actual uncut footage of its performance. KPHL is my home airport and Im excited to give this a go
You are very welcome…
They are yelling
The guy with the new york accent does seem a bit on the angry side
What is the version number. 1.2.7?
1.3.7 i believe is the version
Where did you get it? I don’t see it at MSFS store
One other question does the GTN couple on Approach now?
It was submitted but i don’t think the update has arrived in the marketplace yet…i got it from the simworks website
I use the gtn xi and it works perfectly with the pc-12
Awesome! Did they add a VR interface yet, as they said they were going to do weeks ago?
From my understanding VR hasn’t been implemented yet
I hope this will be on xbox one day
Yeeeeeaaaah....I think I'll wait until it is polished but man this is going to be awesome.
Yeah it is a very early release…they don’t have conflict resolution yet and there are bugs, but it has huge potential
Thanks a lot ……it was fantastisk…..🥰👌👏❤️
Thank you i am glad you liked it
This video is with premiun voices or basic ?
Hi, This is with all premium voices
How many characters this "ate up"?
@tiefenrausch8565 50000 characters
@@macklaa thank you, that's much. Like to see how batc compare to say intention, when both are out of alpha and beta. The costs seems to be equal when you gonna do about 10 flight a month
Yeah I personally didn’t like Say Intensions didn’t have a good experience with it. With Batc i wll be setting the traffic to basic voices and only use premium for the controllers that will extend it significantly and i will be posting a test video on character usage based on different configurations
It's INSANE!!
Hello Simmers, i see one needs the supporte pack to access to traffic injection. Though i have the supporter pack since i bought it a couple of months ago, i still can't access traffic injection option. Has anybody any idea what the problem is? HELP
Hi, I had this problem too, I thought it just automatically activated when you purchased it. But you have to go into the account option and physically switch from early access to expérimental. It is in the top right section. Hopefully this helps
@@V_F_Diaries i found out just before your answer. But thank you very much for your help. That was the right answer to my question. Super nice video by the way! Congrats!
You’re very welcome…i’m glad you were able to get it working. Thank you also for the kind words.
They really need to apply some ambient radio noises and static into those voices. Everything sound so raw.
There was some degradation iI noticed but they are pretty clear most of the time
there is a radio degradation option in the settings
Been a BATC user since they launched, but just started trying the experimental traffic myself. What traffic level are you using?
I used level 5
Stressed and angry controller, just like in real life JFK😁
Very impressive. Phonetic numbers correct at last. Still have the annoying "wun zero ten thousand" but very nearly time to buy as a supporter as I've been waiting for the traffic injection. Just need to hear a flight with free voices for comparison.
I haven’t be able to try them out with traffic…the premium will get costly i think. This was a short flight and it used 50000 characters that will equate to about 5 flights for 9.99 but if traffic is set to basic i don’t think it will be too bad.
I was wondering if they were going to vector you all the way to France...
Lol right …i think it was my fault though atc gave me a vector of 085 and i thought it was 185…the only thing is that in real life ATC wouldn’t have let me go so long in the wrong direction
@@V_F_Diaries I can't say I've looked into it but I kinda doubt that they'd have cleared you all the way to 16k, then sent you barnstorming into class E, then out over the Atlantic when going from JFK to PHL. :-)
You probably right also I thought it was weird that phl was landing 9R and 27R at the same time, it is alpha stage so somethings can be forgiven
@@V_F_Diaries no way they'd have head on approaches like that. They won't even land on both runways at once as they're too close. They might use a smaller runway for regionals or general aviation though. The vectoring for intercept wasn't quite right, but I think the regular version also has that glitch. You can't intercept an localizer 30 miles out, and that one NPC plane was given a 065 heading to intercept 27L which is like a hairpin turn, and it was out of sequence aside. I think a lot of the problem was with clearance delivery though. They should have amended your flight plan from the start if they were going to land on 27L. They'd have some standing MOU or whatever for short routes like that so that there is minimal coordination between the nearby approaches, but they'd also minimize how much time you're down in the VFR soup. Maybe clear you up to 6k until you're in the class B approach space or whatever. Still, it is very nice to see them making progress!
They all sound so angry
They do but if you listen to JFK controllers in real life they seem angry and annoyed too so it fits.
how do i purchase the supporters pack?
I just clicked on store in the login window and it gives you the option to buy it there
Looks brilliant, cannot wait to give it a go.
Definitely worth it
@@V_F_Diaries Just generated a flight from Gold Coast to Brisbane Int with the new experimental traffic and it all worked perfectly. So impressed. It's been a while as I was waiting for this to drop as I found the empty skies to be boring. Route was not a busy one, but there were a few jets taking off with me and I could see/hear more traffic heading down the coast at cruise, plus a few departures at Brisbane.. Really enjoyed the whole flight.
It was so nice to see the TCAS lit up with traffic with this program. Went back to vatsim cause just couldn’t stand the empty sky
When BATC tells me to descent, I still wait for TOD and it seams to work great.
Same
Great stream
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it
Are these the Premium voices? Or the basic free voices?
It is a premium.
Hi yes all premium accept for the copilot and the flight used 50,000 characters
How is the FPS ???
I only really saw a 5-7 fps drop during the flight and a couple of stutters all and all it was not bad at all
Im having smooth performance in the sim but the ai traffic are stuttery and choppy. I dunno if thats in the alpha or just me.
I noticed the occasional stutter and i had about 5 fps drop it might be cause it’s alpha and not completely optimized yet would be my guess. I am getting better performance then when i used the FSLTL traffic injection
@@V_F_Diaries I would say the FPS drop for me with the alpha traffic injection has been similar to that of FSLTL, about 6-8 FPS, a bit disappointing as this was supposed to be a big positive of having the injection offloaded from the sim, but of course, it's alpha and early. I find that even static planes cause a 4-5 fps drops at big airports, so in the grand scheme of things, this is pretty good performance.
Great. What traffic is it using? FSLTL?
Yeah it is FSLTL
@@V_F_Diaries I thought they were gonna use their own traffic injection?
They are using their own injection. FSLTL is for model matching. You can use others like AIG etc
The ATC voices are utterly unconvincing.
I don’t know …they don’t seem robotic
They seem annoyed and angry at times.
@@schulz_gaming5707 Have you ever listened to JFK-ATC? 😂If not, you really should! Time well spend!
@@jip5873 Lol yeah that one AI guy kind of sounded like Kennedy Steve
