August 11th-18th Changelog




AI ATC Updates:

General Fixes

  • In the U.S., IFR takeoff clearances now include initial instructions (RNAV or heading). [This is not a thing outside the U.S.]

  • Fixed a major IFR arrival issue where flights without a SID were getting VERY strange arrivals.

  • Fixed bug where a requested runway was being acknowledge as approved by ATC, but then it wasn't assigned.

  • Adjustments to pronunciation model to try to get Nice pronounced as "Neese". This is a tricky one.

  • Changes made to increase intelligence about reading back a flight-level assignment and not confusing it for a request.

  • Significant changes made to try to improve general detection of readbacks vs requests.

  • Expect your descent in "zero minutes" is fixed.

  • Issue with STAR being assigned as SID during very short IFR arrivals is fixed.


Callsign Updates (BIG CHANGE)

  • SimBrief Callsign Import: Your callsign will now be automatically imported from SimBrief.

  • Tail Number Ignored: Callsigns that resemble tail numbers (e.g., "N12345") will be ignored.

  • Explicit Airline/Flight Number Required: Ensure you explicitly set your airline and flight number or manually fill in your callsign in SimBrief.

  • Format Requirement: Your callsign in SimBrief should follow the format XXX1234 (where XXX is the ICAO code of your airline). Example: UAL1234 will be spoken as "United one-two-three-four."

  • Cabin Crew Announcements: Cabin crews will now refer to you by your flight/callsign if it's imported from SimBrief.

  • IFR Flight Plan Activation: Your callsign will only update when you pick up your IFR flight plan, provided it meets the criteria mentioned.

  • Virtual Airlines Supported: For virtual airlines, enter your custom ICAO code and callsign in the pilot portal settings.

  • No Visual Indicator: Be aware that your callsign will not visually change. ATC will start using the new callsign once you call to pick up your IFR clearance.


Voice Updates:

  • Resolved an issue where a Swiss voice was mistakenly acting as a Center controller in the US. The voice has been reassigned to its proper region.

  • Adjusted talking speed for 47 voices. A reminder: you can now ask a controller to repeat a message more slowly if needed!

  • Removed all Customer Voices from our default table, and replaced with 38 curated high quality default ATC voices. This should improve experiences dramatically.

  • Annual Subscriber voice choices still remain in place, if voice was approved after further QA
