Something I would have loved to see, especially in this era of AI, is improvements to the ATC system. But it seems we're stuck with the one from FS2020, which in turn is largely the same it was 20 years ago.
Not everyone can or wants to go to VATSIM for realistic ATC coverage, but the default one is just dreadful. Obvious phraseology mistakes, happily vectoring you towards terrain, asking you to descend 20k ft. in 2 minutes, and the only way to communicate with it is via a list of pre-determined options.
- netsharc 2y agoThe answer is... ATC Simulator!
- jillesvangurp 2y agoThere are some third party companies working on LLM based ATC. It's a hard problem but that's mostly because there are a lot of rules and regional differences. Which is something that LLMs are actually good at making sense of. The new multi modal OSS models are only going to make this easier. MS with their investment in OpenAI is actually well positioned to do something here as well. So, it's odd that they haven't.

- agubelu 2y agoYes, I was thinking of stuff like BeyondATC or SayIntentions. As another comment pointed out, MS of all companies seems particularly well positioned to pull this out if they wanted to and it could be a very strong selling point for hardcore simmers, or even as a learning tool for more casual players.
