Chatter collection and player for Microsoft based simulators
No. At this time we are only collecting clips from pilots and controllers that are speaking English. You will hear the pilot or controller's native accent as clips are collected from many different countries. The main reason we don't accept other languages is that I only speak English so I'm unable to validate if [...]
X-ATC-Chatter and FS-ATC-Chatter have clips that are curated from LiveATC.net. Stick and Rudder Studios has a licensing agreement with LiveATC.net that needs to be renewed every two years. That agreement has been renewed multiple times and we expect that will continue to be the case. In the highly unlikely event that the agreement is not [...]
The FS-ATC-Chatter installer for the full clip collection is a fairly large EXE file, nearly 3GB. It can take Windows Defender or other anti-virus software some time to check the file before it will run and show you the End User License Agreement Dialog. Be patient, it should open in a minute or so depending [...]
X-ATC-Chatter 1.7.1 or older and FS-ATC-Chatter 1.2.2 and older relied on the FTP protocol and a different update server. These older versions of the products will not work with our new dedicated update server which uses only the HTTP protocol. Update X-ATC-Chatter and/or FS-ATC-Chatter to the latest versions to make use of the new [...]
The FS-ATC-Chatter.zip file contains the player and 400 or so U.S. based clips in the Regions folder. Due to their size the purchased clips are broken up into separate zip files which you must download from your Gumroad Receipt or your Sim Market account depending on where you purchased the full clip set. Each of [...]

Some of the aircraft in MSFS 2020 are not properly maintaining the Radio Power status in SimConnect. This will result in FS-ATC-Chatter not playing chatter if you have the FS-ATC-Chatter radio power option enabled. To work around this disable the radio power option on the Radios setting page. Please let the aircraft designer know they [...]
FS-ATC-Chatter attempts to replicate the behavior of a real world air band radio. By default FS-ATC-Chatter will be using automatic controllers and radio power monitoring. That means in order to hear chatter you must be connected to the simulator, radio power on, and tuned to an ATC facility that is within 100 nautical miles of [...]
The only difference between these two products is the stand alone chatter player. The clip collection is the same in both products. X-ATC-Chatter has a player that works with X-Plane and FS-ATC-Chatter has a player that works with FSX, FSX Steam Edition, P3D V1-5, and MSFS 2020. Either product will work with Pilot2ATC. If you [...]
