Get the BEST out of BeyondATC | User Guide & Full Flight | TBM930 in MSFS

[@SimHangerFS]

Adding a SID & STAR to the flight plan makes for a more immersive (and busy) ATC experience. If no STAR then ATC will provide you with vectors to your final approach. Considering this is EARLY ACCESS the basic ATC is in a fairly solid state, promising big things to come!

[@vatnsfjord]

I think you should offer your voice as permium add-on. Would love to hear your soothing south african accent guide me from A to B

[@WesleySchwartz-ty7sg]

Great idea!

[@j_london9791]

U are easily the best in covering everything pertaining to our hobby. I have seen several other attempts at explaining BATC yours is superior. Thx

[@SimHangerFS]

Wow, thanks!

[@KevinRowe-v1h]

Mark. You are brilliant. End of story. Without your help I would have left flight sim long ago. Especially programming my controls. This video, once again is brilliant. THANKS

[@RomanDesignCanada]

Thanks for reviewing BeyondATC with basic voices all the way, unlike most other reviews. I think basic is how most people will use it, including me. That's why I wanted to hear the whole flight with basic voices, and they sounded great.

[@SimHangerFS]

Agreed, they are so good not sure I would bother with premium 😊

[@FF862341]

Very informative and inspiring guide, Mark. This helps me mastering both BATC and the TBM930 in IFR mode as well. Thank you!

[@FF862341]

By the way, recently I stumbled upon a nice guide made by @VirtuSim to aid using BATC in VR using FSDesktop, hanging native VR support further down the roadmap. URL:kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3maeaOIaL6HaNEsi=U81CctgafEceEd10

[@davenottingham3254]

Thanks for this. I bought BeyondATC yesterday and absolutely love it. It’s such a huge improvement to MSFS ATC. I keep getting vectored of the flight plan near the end of my flight and I’m finding it impossible to get onto the ILS, I’m aware this is probably my fault but if you ever make a video about this I’d be ever so grateful! Keep up the good work. Love your channel!

[@q8386]

Been waiting for your revue, Mark. I bought BATC on day 1 and I have been impressed with the number of updates (practically every day). Like most others here, I use the basic voices. Once they get the traffic injection active, this is going to be very immersive. It's been a great learning tool for me, both for proper flight planning procedures and phraseology. I'll be trying VATSim at some point, but given that there aren't always controllers in the areas i fly, BATC will be a great substitute.

[@peterregan8691]

A recent update means the ATIS can now be tuned on COM2 which is a handy option.

[@charlesallsop2470]

Great video as always! It really is a superb programme and we will see much to make it more so in the future. Greetings from a Sunny Jbay in RSA!

[@michaelstack2024]

Good testing video and flight . Very helpful, many thanks.

[@refmannc]

Brilliant job. Now going to launch my first flight. Well done.

[@EricDevoe]

Interesting, I fly primarily VFR, so I’ll wait for that support

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Been using BATC for a couple weeks now and love it. It does have a few quirks that I know will be worked out, considering the number of updates that have already been put out. I'm only using basic voices as they are more than good enough for me. Flying in multiple African countries, I got to hear various accents which is very cool. During a flight today in the A320, BATC completely ignored the ATIS at the destination airport and vectored me to runway that was not what should have been used. It also ignored the STAR that I had in my flight plan (according the ATIS, what I had in my flight plan was still correct). Had no issues with multiple flights in the TBM, other than one time not even wanting to run (due to what I believe was due to multiple ICAO codes for the airport). Overall though, I am very happy with what the dev has come up with so far.

[@SimHangerFS]

Agreed, nice to see such active development.

[@johnreveley4901]

Very helpful video Mark, Thank You!! I was having trouble getting BATC to give me descent instructions but now I see you have to request the descent (which I could not see in VR). I hope the BATC platform will be visible on VR at some point. But in the meantime, it makes it more challenging.

[@johnreveley4901]

I set my tablet up as a second monitor and use the VR color passthrough app to look at BATC on the second monitor and it works great (for now until I don't need the second monitor)

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

A really great demonstration Mark thankyou for putting this together. I think the standard "basic" voices are more than enough for most of us. I look forward to following the developments closely, especially once VFR and VR support is added. Cheers.

[@CrazyPilot_from_Belgium]

I will recommend your soothing voice to BeyondATC for the program. I enjoyed your video

[@SimHangerFS]

Already ''in-the-works'' :)

[@francoisfourie923]

Have just picked up BeyondATC and loving it so far. Thanks for a great video Mark! Greetings from a sunny Gordon's Bay 🇿🇦✌🏼

[@scottbradley5482]

Well done. I look forward to watching how they improve with time. I hope they add other aircraft traffic/ATC comms to make it more realistic. The price is reasonable and hope there is enough incentive to allow them to continue to expand.

[@SimHangerFS]

Traffic injection with ATC interaction is coming 😊

[@KevinRowe-v1h]

Thanks

[@SimHangerFS]

Thank you for supporting the channel, you're a star!

[@kennykanada]

As always, very informative! I purchased this and tried it a few times. As they clearly state, it’s buggy and has issues still. It certainly is. Had a CTD using it. Without a UI in VR, it’s very difficult with no prompts. No VFR and can’t play audio through Pimax, I’m gonna wait until it’s updated to support these issues.

[@chrismckis6843]

I had to stop using it because it was crashing the sim repeatedly. Yes it is buggy and they tell you that upfront. Has a lot of potential once they improve it.

[@josephgreen4217]

One word Brilliant

[@jmuellerdrenkberg]

Great Flight, please provide more of it. Likely with another GA MSFS plane, maybe C172 or C208B😊

[@roberthatcher2773]

Thanks Mark, as always an exceptional video showcasing a great product! I would love it if you could do a similar video with a PMDG 737 which most of us are familiar with.

[@Topcat1952]

Extremely helpful. I have to try it now. I am wondering about the "backtrack" command they gave; hopefully it was just a bug that will be fixed. Can't wait for VFR flights to become available.

[@SimHangerFS]

Glad it helped! 😊

[@briancrawley8440]

[@seattime4075]

When in doubt, Always wise to just ask to cross a active runway.

[@christopherwalker283]

[@andyprobert7040]

I really like the TBM, if you have a navigraph susscription, you can download to the in game navigraph and then auto export the flight plan directly into the plane.

[@SimHangerFS]

Not the default TBM unfortunately.

[@andyprobert7040]

As far as i can remember i havnt added any additional software. Thanks for the reply love the videos

[@ede8193]

Great video Mark, i just got Beyond atc and i need practice lol this will help!

[@mikecoffee100]

Spot on

[@ClevaTreva]

Still unsure about this but of course anything's better than the quite caustic default ATC voices! It would have been nice to see and hear the co-pilot automation too but great video. I wonder if the traffic injector will be better or worse than FSLTL in terms of performance?

[@Stierado]

Another excellent review Mark. Thank you so much. I have a question regarding the PTT switch. I am on a Pimax Crystal VR headset and my PC shows the built-in mic working properly, but BeyondATC tells me that there is no audio detected during the mic test. Have I missed a step ?

[@SimHangerFS]

Did you select the Pimax Mic from the drop down menu as I did with the Corsair headset in the BeyondATC settings?

[@Stierado]

@@SimHangerFS I feel utterly thick right now 🤣 I was looking at the sound settings in Windows and glossed over the settings in BeyondATC 🙈 Works like a charm now. Thank you Mark 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@alapjani8508]

Hey, thanks for the detailed video. I purchased BATC and in my understanding done everything correctly but every time i start a flight and try to tune into any frequencies, I get an error saying that "an error occurred starting the basic speech engine" and after that i cannot hear anything. Strangely, premium sound packs works. Any suggestion?

[@wirelad1]

Hello Mark - Great tutorial there with the new BeyondATC. Just wondering if there are any changes to be made within FS2020? Any settings to be switched off. I initally had FS2020 ATC and Beyond ATC at same time and radios wouldn't change. Maybe you could take a look and let people know. Good stuff though, I for one, frightened to death going onto VATSIM etc.. loving BeyondATC just to get some excellent practice!! 🙂 Thanks Mark.

[@RWalt-lp6ie]

Your clearance to cross runway during taxi had already been given, otherwise your taxi instructions would have been to hold at runway. Curious to know if software took into account how little activity there was and not having several aircraft lined up in final for landing.

[@SimHangerFS]

Interesting, I thought cross runway instructions were explicitly mentioned for safety reasons without exception. I stand corrected.

[@RWalt-lp6ie]

@@SimHangerFS That is correct. I'll have to watch it again, I may have missed that.

[@RWalt-lp6ie]

@SimHangerFS My mistake. I listened to it again and it ignored the runway. It should have told you to cross or hold, depending on the situation.

[@jiml5233]

I think at custom airports taxiways can produce errors. They're working on it

[@miraclealigner]

Thanks Mark! Does it have any sort of vr support?

[@SimHangerFS]

You can not see the UI in VR, but as it is voice it is not a show stopper. VR panel coming as part of the development cycle.

[@FF862341]

@@SimHangerFS There's a pretty usefull workaround for this using FSDesktop. @VirtuSim made a video on this. Tried it and it works fine for now until BATC offers native VR support.

Thanks Mark. How does this work for VFR flights, is there a VR toolbar app and is it worth it for flying helicopters?

[@SimHangerFS]

A toolbar VR panel is part of the development cycle. Not aware of the timeframe from this.

[@frontcentermusician]

Glad I only paid 30 bucks for this. No update in quite awhile. They still active at all?

[@ztublackstaff]

great review, but how does it deal with non-towered airports?

[@andyprobert7040]

Hi there, i used the BATC to fly into a farm field, it give me vectors all the way in, actually because it was dark and there was no runway lights, I missed the runway and then vectored me in for anothet attempt. Really clever stuff. My fault it was dark should have looked at the info on the airport before setting out.

[@obriets]

I’m just curious how this is going to work for long hauls. I tend to go have a nice nap and watch TV after I’ve reached cruise altitude and set the alarm for step climbs and the approach to TOD.

[@SimHangerFS]

🤣 well hopefully ATC will have a nap too. Just contact centre or approach and it will pick up from there.

[@seabee8676]

I had the same bug, ask me to backtrack at the end of a runway

[@denrenvavanaardt6989]

so i wont hear any other coms between atc and online\offline aircraft?

[@MrSunlander]

Very good and promising, but it does not recognize many small airports - private and the like. Much like Simbrief itself. Those flights, I have to wing it w/o Beyond ATC.

[@Hedgehobbit]

Considering that the whole point of the product is voice recognition, I wonder if they plan on making it so that you could just tell it your flight plan.

[@MrSpeaker69]

The Bring to the Front key binding does not work. I assumed it would pop up the UI while in fullscreen mode. Cant get on the discord yet. Anyone get this to work.

[@Lunacrater]

Does anyone know if you are able to divert to your alternate in Beyond ATC?

[@RamonAnt]

Why the approaching and landing process is not available in the last part of the flying. All flight just finishing with radio check and nothing else even when I which among the all available frequencies at the airport. No approach, no final, no tower. I am landing at LKPR mostly.

[@mind4300]

Hi, make sure you've got and keep throughout your flight the correct transport code as given in your clearance by BATC.

[@mind4300]

That should read TRANSPONDER code

[@jarose7396]

BATC always give me an exit taxiway I already passed or in process of passing.

[@surfman88]

Nice can you minimize menu as well and just use voice?

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes you can 😊

[@wrongwayfeldman5393]

Oh, TY for this video, I just got this a few days ago $42 Cnd for me & still trying to figure it out. Does the Default ATC in the sim conflict with Beyond ATC? I called for Taxi but the engine wasn't running & they called me a bad pilot, lol

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes it does, as shown in video, turn MSFS ATC off.

[@craftwek]

Can Beyond ATC be put on a tablet linked to the Main Simulator PC via IP address so that the Beyond ATC can be used via voice and window on on the main visual PC

Not yet, but believe it is part of the development cycle. No idea of time frame though.

Do not buy, jank ass program. The lag from the traffic is horrendous and cause my game to completely glitch out, throttle to max, can’t control ailerons, fps to a stutter fest. And I’m on a 4090. If you use vr, the support is jank as well. You have to exit vr mode, hit window key to open the window to start batc, then go back into the sim. For every flight. Not streamlined. Also there is a hard dependecy to use simbrief otherwise it won’t work. I regret my purchase.
