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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
