![]() Question, how airspace aware is SI? For instance you are flying in a terminal area when an approach controller drops you below TMA limit for traffic avoidance (which is quite common flying vfr near larger airports) so basically class C to class G (EASA) It's an often-used cliche but this truly was a game changer for me. I'm not saying I'll pay $30 per month for the rest of my life, but I am very happy to pay $30 for a month of further playing with this revolutionary immersion addon. ![]() As a result of what was a half-hearted decision to try the demo during a spare half hour I had tonight, I went straight onto Amazon and bought a new headset/mic, and subscribed to SI for the month ahead. In short, I was truly blown away by the immersiveness and versatility. Procedurally, what I did with it tonight was not particularly challenging or complex but it handled the flight (and my expectations) perfectly. After I'd replied, there was lot's of specific broadcasts coming from ATC related to my destination airport and the space around it. When I had first taken off VFR, I'd not mentioned my destination and got an early call "Skyhawk GLL, what is your destination?". The controller came back with a "standby" followed by "Carlisle is currently 220 at 6, QNH 30.06". I followed a normal GA VFR flight regime, with some additional little extras I tested, such as "Newcastle Approach, do you have the wind at EGNC?!. I was scribbling down the frequencies, squawks and instructions I was given so I didn't miss them. Or even when you fly on VATSIM (with coverage) for the first few times. The feeling was strange because it is so convincing and immersive, that I had slight butterflies! This continued in the air, where I had the similar feeling to when you're using the radio for the first time as a student pilot IRL. Delay was around 5 secs (not bad at all) then a very convincing British-accented female voice got back to me. Hit my PTT and talked to it for the first time "Newcastle Ground, Skyhawk G-WILL is on the GA apron with Charlie, request taxi for VFR departure to the west". Because you'll either be blown away by the immersion (as I was), or possibly not be moved by it.įor me, I set up in the C172 at EGNT on the GA apron. So how is the program in use? Well, all I'd say is that in my opinion, everyone should try this demo. Really impressed with how smooth the process is. Then, run the EXE, start MSFS, choose my PTT button and about 3 other preferences and that was it. Enter an email and password, put in credit card details (necessary even for the demo as verification), get taken to the download. First thing to say is that, compared to some addon ATC programs, the set up from clicking the 'try the demo' link on the website, to using it for the first time was unbelievably smooth, easy and hassle-free. ![]() I tried the SayIntentions demo this evening. But you know when you experience something jaw dropping within this hobby and you're super excited and just want to share that? This post may irritate some, as I'm not saying anything new that hasn't been said by some others recently.
