As a retiree who can’t or won’t afford subscription services I have always been grateful for your pricing model, and was happy to be a supporter. But I was always a little secretly envious of the advantages LLM can bring to the immersion of ATC. Now I don’t need to be envious any more :) Thank you for your commitment to your existing customer base, for retaining a subscription-free structure, and for remaining true to the core principles you have built BATC on. Have a happy and safe Festive Season.
I'm not retired yet (and I'm still missing) but I don't want a subscription either. And even less for an addition to a game. With this pricing model, I am happy to have BATC. With subscription, I would have passed on this.
Enjoy your break too you have worked very hard. Once you have VFR traffic, flight following and VFR airspace transition you have got me for life including upgrades later.
It has become obviously clear that I made the right choice in going with BeyondATC. You guys have done a fantastic job and created a great addon, that was also a great little piece of Christmas news I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise, I can't wait to try it and can't wait for the VFR down the road. I have been using BeyondATC right from the get go and it only gets better and better. Oh and almost forgot the value for money is also becoming very obvious, I had to go away for a short bit and wasn't able to fly but when I got back my credits where still there waiting for me. Just want take a second Capt. and wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and I would like to also wish the rest of the team at BeyondATC a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. A satisfied customer, thanx again!
You know.., sometimes you see or listen to someone, and you have a feeling that tells you: "This guy doesn't talk b*llsh*t. This is not the kind of marketing chit-chat you are used to, whenever it's about 'selling something'..." - I had exactly this feeling when I saw your very first announcement video for BeyondATC. And I never doubted it. I had this picture in mind, when imagining the planned features of BATC, how this tool will change the way I used to fly for the most of my 30 years with flight simulation. And it comes true more and more, step by step, with every update. I really want to thank you and your team (of course)! I wish, more developers would be that ambitious, passionate - and honest with their products and customers like you are! Have a very merry Christmas and joyful holidays! 🎄
Bro just cooked Say Intentions AI. But seriously, great job y’all. It’s so refreshing to have a team like you guys in the era of subscriptions and live service. Quality, value for money, I love it! Would absolutely recommend to a friend 😊
Wow combining your own more "traditional" and reliable engine together with an LLM to make it so incredibly less limited seems to have incredible potential. Looking forward to this!
Just watched. A game changer. This is going to put the hurt on your competitor. I use the other one as well as yours but you keep this up and no more annual subscription. Great job!
Thank-you for the update. Answered all of my questions. Since I'm not a tube liner enjoyer I'll wait until you have the VFR worked out. Then I will gladly purchase this revolutionary product. Happy Holidays.
Looking good! Just picked this up yesterday, and had my first flight with it today. Worked great, even was able to deal with a go around at KPHX today. All the vectors worked great, and got me right back into the field. Great immersion factor.
Guys, you are just insane - you elevated my experience with MSFS to a next level. You won a customer for (simulator) life. Thank you for your hard work! I wish you all a nice christmas, great festive season and am looking forward for things to come in 2025. Have a good one!
Congrats guys, this is huge. One other feature is it possible for my mates I fly online with to hear my communications and or the responses from ATC. All the best and good luck for the future development of your awesome work.
This is amazing engineering guys. Great job on creating a fit for purpose project that is also cost effective and efficient. Looking forward to the feature of BATC!
I recently bought BATC for FSTL AI models but I realized what fun there is with a deep immersion with your virtual ATC as much as when I listen to the communications between the control towers and the real planes when I do plane spotting. I am not perfect in English but LLM will help me greatly to improve. Merci :)
So glad I joined the BATC family recently. It is obvious that the devs have a true passion for the product and their customers. I will be upgrading to the supporter pack when I'm able to afford it.
I'm fortunate enough to have both Beyond ATC & SI - and watching the development over the last 12 months has been amazing. Fantastic job. My only issue with both is that the ATC responses are a kind of shouty, cardboard style - not the naturally conversational manner that I hear listening on my scanner or on VATSIM.
This is seriously awesome work! As soon as the VFR features are released, my money is as good as yours! And I can finally be done with the atrocious default ATC.
Amazing doesn't cover how great this is. Proud to be a user of BATC. In a couple of year, it'll be a case of "I was there when it started". Good job team, happy holidays
I appreciate the BATC team so much! Thanks for this great addon and all the great work done in 2024. I was very skeptical at first and hopped in the discord asking prodding questions trying to figure out whether your hearts were in the right place. The answers were fair and satisfactory and it convinced me to buy the supporters pack on day 1. I have zero regrets on that purchase! Merry Christmas and Happy new year. Looking forward to all the exciting features coming in 2025.
You guys are great! I appreciate that you are giving us so much functionality at such great value for money. I don't know how you do it, but you are the best!
Bought the supporters pack about a week before traffic was released. I couldn't wait even a week Lol. I don't regret it at all. Cant wait for this to be on the experimental and also cant wait for VFR. For me it's now impossible to fly without this program
Very nice. I just recently bought BATC after compairing all alternatives. I'm very happy with what i got and am looking forward for whats in store in the future. Happy christmas, enjoy your holidays. M
Impressive, more good news even as traffic just dropped for all users. You guys are doing god's work by setting a new standard on how add-ons for these flight sims should be; actually worth paying for.
Absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I bought into this program over other options. You guys are definitely doing this the right way. I’m wondering if you guys can add in one additional feature at some point which is pushback. The voices you have would be great along with the ai speech recognition and since beyond atc already has airport taxi information it would seem to make sense.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at BATC. Thank you for doing what flight simming has needed for a long time: quality ATC. You guys rock!
All i can say is WOW. I still have an original copy of MSFS 5.0 on 3.5" discs ! On the box it says " As real as it gets" how this statement still holds TRUE... Thanks guys. Enjoy and merry Xmas..
These are all amazing. Would you ever consider in the future - an option or checkbox to keep the dialogue more professional without so much of the slang? e.g: Ready to Aviate, Ready for Airways, On Our Way, etc. - as one that is kind of trying to use this as a confidence builder or stepping stone to live online services - it would just be nice to hear only FAA/ICAO correct verbiage.
This is brilliant. It's really annoying having ATC give you the "Did not copy" response, because of the limitation in questions you could ask, even when it's a question ATC should be able to give you a response to. So we'll done again to the team, and looking forward to seeing this implemented👍
Wow! This was unexpected, and I want to commend you on the fantastic work! I have been using SI from the beginning, and you have convinced me to embrace this side of the world now. While I love SI, I feel that the extras being released are more distractions. Additionally, it was disappointing to hear from Brian that traffic injection will be further delayed. I hope they watch this video and take note of the pace set by the BATC team. I’m confident I’m not alone in this sentiment. Kudos to your team for a job well done!
This is awesome. Traffic was/is game changing, but I was recently very impressed by a demo of Say Intentions on Father's Time's channel, comparing it to BATC and some of the LLM stuff it could do was beginning to make BATC look a bit inflexible. However, there were times when the SI controllers would go a bit "off piste", and I didn't like that. Making your own LLM must be a massive task, but I can see how that could really benefit an ATC add-on, as so much of it is very procedural and there are so many rules to follow. Really excited about this feature, and the keyboard addition is perfect. I have 1 request and 1 question. Question: Will this allow us to request and receive vectors on approach if we need them, but the "system" isn't giving them to us? I think that would be really helpful. Request: Could you please make it so that the "speaking" icon doesn't make the buttons go away, and make it so that we can press a button while someone is talking and then have it say our request as soon as there is a gap? On really busy frequencies it can be impossible to get word in edgeways right now. It is quite infuriating to miss your TOD because the controller and other traffic are constantly talking and you can't even press the button!
This is actually just incredible! I've been heavily considering purchasing BATC, but this just might be the thing the pushes me over the edge to buying.
As a cargo dog I'd be more impressed to have BATC actually find relevant Cargo ramps for me to park at, which somehow GSX can do consistently, despite it using a similar splined type airport map model in order to work. Over the last 30+ flights, only once has BATC found a cargo ramp for me, yet GSX almost always can.
I have the supporter pack with experimental. Love it! But had to also try SI. Just finished 1month sub and my impressions as a irl pilot is just what you said, it is completely off the rails, it will grant you anything and its situational awareness sucks. One month was enough both for my sanity and my wallet!😂
Merry Christmas to the crew of BATC. I am looking forward to seeing this new update. I fly around the San Diego area on the sim almost every weekend. Now when the controller tells me to decend to 2000 feet (into a mountain side), I can tell them the alt. is not possible at this time, and not get a "Did not understand your request response.
This isn't with the LLM but yesterday I was taking off from Sumburgh. I should have been on runway 33 but I'd got lost and I was on the wrong runway. I asked for clearance and the ATC responded with "117Juliet, you are nowhere near three three, what posessed you to even ask for clearance, get on the assigned runway immediately", he actually was shouting and my copilot (who was handling comms) responed with a weak "sorry, 117Juliet". It was hilarious, I love this program.
I started to play with LLM today on a 5 years old laptop, it's incredible how fast and accurate it is on small model, would love to see this LLM and F5TTS running locally on a seperate SBC
Indeed, for many potential users like me the VFR handling ability is the main competitive advantage of SayIntentions. Hope the path to VFR in BeyondATC won't be very long...

I’m the same. Retired and do not want any subscriptions.
Same here. The cost of living today makes something like this a great addition for a decent price.
Dito 😊
I'm not retired yet (and I'm still missing) but I don't want a subscription either. And even less for an addition to a game. With this pricing model, I am happy to have BATC. With subscription, I would have passed on this.
Enjoy your break too you have worked very hard. Once you have VFR traffic, flight following and VFR airspace transition you have got me for life including upgrades later.
Agree. If it can do this, it should be close to being able to talk to ATC in VFR.
facts
ATC with personality, you know we want Kennedy Steve

It is awesome that you are continuing to add more great functionality for no additional cost. Thank you!
Fantastic stuff as usual mate! This sounds so promising can’t wait to see where this add-on goes eventually 🎉
Wow. That's insane. Coupling with traffic and the 3D engine is really impressive.
Only thing we need after this is simulating frustration in the voices like the many grumpy controllers irl
Just watched. A game changer. This is going to put the hurt on your competitor. I use the other one as well as yours but you keep this up and no more annual subscription. Great job!
agreed

Wow. This tool is improving so quick. Really enjoy using BATC.
Really amazing stuff!
I bet one day this tech could be adapted to place “virtual AI towers” at non-towered airports in the real world.
Great work guys! Makes me want to keep buying those premium voices packs to support you. Now, please get some of this goodness to GA VFR :).
Guys, you are just insane - you elevated my experience with MSFS to a next level. You won a customer for (simulator) life. Thank you for your hard work! I wish you all a nice christmas, great festive season and am looking forward for things to come in 2025. Have a good one!

Just so you know, you didn't need to buy BATC to get the FSLTL models, FSLTL is a separate free product.
@@shinkicker404 Yes, I know, but FSTL doesn't work for MSFS 2024 yet and the only software so far that can inject its models into it is BATC.
@@flyingpedalfsltl works fine for me on 2024
Ooo lala... healthy competition with SayIntentionsAI is heating up! Good job!
that typing feature is awesome, I won't have to whisper at the mic anymore at 2.43am
Holy s***.
You guys are nailing this. NAILING IT!!
Captain & Devs Hats off to you all!! well done
So glad I joined the BATC family recently. It is obvious that the devs have a true passion for the product and their customers. I will be upgrading to the supporter pack when I'm able to afford it.

Mind blowing! I did not expect this and to think it won't be an extra cost is unbelievable. Thank you!
Amazing doesn't cover how great this is. Proud to be a user of BATC. In a couple of year, it'll be a case of "I was there when it started". Good job team, happy holidays
amazing work guys! enjoy the holidays!
Yall are awesome 🎉❤
Amazing. Really looking forward to this. Thank You for your hard work guys. Merry Christmas
What a perfect update!!
Very well done. A revolution in ATC this year.
Have a great break.
Barty
Brilliant, look forward to it's release in the new year.
Can't thank you guys enough. Never thought I would be conversing with atc. It's a great training tool.
I appreciate the BATC team so much! Thanks for this great addon and all the great work done in 2024. I was very skeptical at first and hopped in the discord asking prodding questions trying to figure out whether your hearts were in the right place.

You have just blown the competition away... So glad I picked Beyond ATC...
Wow guys, very impressive! Thank you for all the effort.
Superb! Incredibly outstanding news! Good job guys!
This is amazing. What a wonderful job. I would be happy to support your project. I will buy more characters. Maybe that way I can help. 🎉
You guys are great! I appreciate that you are giving us so much functionality at such great value for money. I don't know how you do it, but you are the best!
Gamechanger. Thanks for the hard work that your team put in since launch. I'm looking forward to what's next. Happy Holidays.
Bought the supporters pack about a week before traffic was released. I couldn't wait even a week Lol. I don't regret it at all. Cant wait for this to be on the experimental and also cant wait for VFR. For me it's now impossible to fly without this program
This is absolutely awesome, really happy with the keyboard as I also fly when the kids are asleep.
Amazing job!! What an awesome feature! Congratulations, guys!!
Great news, indeed! Have a great christmas time!
Looking forward to getting the update, thanks for the great work with this fantastic software
Holy cow this blows my mind! Amazing, I heard a streamer talking about this the other day. I never seen it in action. Definitely purchasing tomorrow!
this actually makes perfect sense. a real controller is trained and has " guard rails."
Wow! It’s now more like Say Intentions!… but without the 5 hour pause between transmissions, plus no monthly costs!!! Amazing!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍❤️
I am truly appreciative with the efforts of the team at BATC. I love the immersion! Thanks and happy holidays!
That's amazing. Well done, all involved with the Coms and the program impressive.
Incredible! I have been dreaming of this since I started flight simmin’ in the late 1970’s.
Fantastic. Thank you so much. Nice Christmas present. Have a great Christmas.
free update is wild. Can't wait to try it out.
Very nice. I just recently bought BATC after compairing all alternatives. I'm very happy with what i got and am looking forward for whats in store in the future. Happy christmas, enjoy your holidays. M
Impressive, more good news even as traffic just dropped for all users. You guys are doing god's work by setting a new standard on how add-ons for these flight sims should be; actually worth paying for.
I already purchased , and you continue to impress me. This is a game changer once it's all worked out.
Absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I bought into this program over other options. You guys are definitely doing this the right way. I’m wondering if you guys can add in one additional feature at some point which is pushback.

You guys are the best! Thanks!
You guys are insane! This is amazing, good luck!
Wow.this is just amazing. Thank UA-cam and enjoy your holidays.
OMG THIS IS AWSOME. TRULY AWSOME. AI IS GENIUS. OMG ITS SO COOOOOOL. And this update is free?
Congratulations! This looks very promising
Outstanding Infos
Love beyond atc ❤️thanks for you continue work on it. Regards from Germany.
Once you have VFR, I’m in. Also other pilots communicating on CTAF.
All i can say is WOW. I still have an original copy of MSFS 5.0 on 3.5" discs ! On the box it says " As real as it gets" how this statement still holds TRUE... Thanks guys. Enjoy and merry Xmas..
This is awesome. It really need d this functionality. Whats missing is life at GA airports - ATC and Traffic at both towered and non-towered airports.
During the fisrt example, i could feel the ATC just starting to get mad at you for not requesting your clearance and doing your job lmao hahahah
These are all amazing. Would you ever consider in the future - an option or checkbox to keep the dialogue more professional without so much of the slang? e.g: Ready to Aviate, Ready for Airways, On Our Way, etc. - as one that is kind of trying to use this as a confidence builder or stepping stone to live online services - it would just be nice to hear only FAA/ICAO correct verbiage.

Sounds great! Can't wait to try it. Thanks
Wow! This was unexpected, and I want to commend you on the fantastic work!

Kudos to your team for a job well done!
Me too. I’m still using SI, but kind of bummed they are working on missions instead of traffic injection.
This is awesome. Traffic was/is game changing, but I was recently very impressed by a demo of Say Intentions on Father's Time's channel, comparing it to BATC and some of the LLM stuff it could do was beginning to make BATC look a bit inflexible.

It is quite infuriating to miss your TOD because the controller and other traffic are constantly talking and you can't even press the button!
being able to queue up a request/response during busy traffic is one of my main wishlist items also
Excellent news. Keep it up! Big BATC fan.
Best Christmas Gift ever 🎉
Merry Christmas to you all.
just wow, flightsimmers could only dream of this a few years ago
This is actually just incredible! I've been heavily considering purchasing BATC, but this just might be the thing the pushes me over the edge to buying.
Thank you for the option to type in free text 😊🎉
I am glad that my idea to stick with Beyond ATC is paying off!
Nice work!
I love it! The only thing I would like is to hear it speaking slightly slower?
Thank you very much 🎉 Have good holydays.
Sounds great.Cant wait to try it out.
As a cargo dog I'd be more impressed to have BATC actually find relevant Cargo ramps for me to park at, which somehow GSX can do consistently, despite it using a similar splined type airport map model in order to work. Over the last 30+ flights, only once has BATC found a cargo ramp for me, yet GSX almost always can.
Incredible! It’s like exchanges with SIRI! And of course with real people… 😊
I have the supporter pack with experimental. Love it! But had to also try SI. Just finished 1month sub and my impressions as a irl pilot is just what you said, it is completely off the rails, it will grant you anything and its situational awareness sucks. One month was enough both for my sanity and my wallet!😂
This is fantastic!
Merry Christmas to the crew of BATC. I am looking forward to seeing this new update. I fly around the San Diego area on the sim almost every weekend. Now when the controller tells me to decend to 2000 feet (into a mountain side), I can tell them the alt. is not possible at this time, and not get a "Did not understand your request response.
This isn't with the LLM but yesterday I was taking off from Sumburgh. I should have been on runway 33 but I'd got lost and I was on the wrong runway. I asked for clearance and the ATC responded with "117Juliet, you are nowhere near three three, what posessed you to even ask for clearance, get on the assigned runway immediately", he actually was shouting and my copilot (who was handling comms) responed with a weak "sorry, 117Juliet". It was hilarious, I love this program.
Can't 2ait to try the new update! I still haven't used the traffic or done it on 2024 yet, but it should be a great time!
I started to play with LLM today on a 5 years old laptop, it's incredible how fast and accurate it is on small model, would love to see this LLM and F5TTS running locally on a seperate SBC
Indeed, for many potential users like me the VFR handling ability is the main competitive advantage of SayIntentions. Hope the path to VFR in BeyondATC won't be very long...
This seems amazing !
On my wishlist for BATC: correct Taxi instructions to real gates upon arrival 👌👌
