I wanted to get rid of the silence in xplane as i don’t use vatsim etc.

The chatter gives the right amount of emersion while if you use the atc function it provides the right amount of functionality without being over complex. The atc also provides good realism while adding to the workload of flying the aircraft.

I have used X-ATC-Chatter since I first got it, and only for test purposes do I ever remove it from my plugins. It is hard to think of another plugin that adds this kind of immersion. Bonus: Lately I have been learning ATC jargon, practicing for using a live ATC program. I found the little gem “Simple ATC” hiding in the menu up there. It works seamlessly with the chatter and follows my plan, vectors me to final in bad weather, and adds a lot to the ATC experience without confusing instructions (so far so good). I have used 3 other ATC programs and this one is my favorite.

This helps kind of get your head in the busy ATC airspace, great little program to help add the 4th dimension to the sim experience.

I wish we could add custom files easier, it is difficult process at this time, but the program does what it advertises and the dev seems open to suggestions and support.

I found the missing element to my IFR flights - ATC communications that delight the senses.

As someone who flies planes and frequently uses X-Plane, I noticed that one aspect was missing: air traffic control and its ongoing chatter. This software addresses that by providing a constant and ever-changing stream of ATC communications that enhances the feeling of real flight every time I take off in the simulator. The radio channels available often correspond to the actual airport or center associated with your flight, which adds to the realism.

If you ever encounter any issues with the program, Mark is extremely responsive and eager to help you troubleshoot. In my opinion, his level of customer support is unparalleled.

I highly recommend this software as a valuable addition to any flight simulation setup.

It's very simple - immersion and engagement

It’s enough to disable this plugin and… you will realize that the immersion is gone. For me, this is a very important indicator. Without X-ATC, the game becomes rather bland and lifeless.

From the first version, it is a wonderful plugin that brings a big plus in the cockpit. I only use it for recorded conversations without ATC.

Fully customizable, it is easy to configure.

Hearing real conversations with accents that change depending on the country you are flying over provides a great immersion.

I give 20/10 to Mark Cellis, the author of X-ATC Chatter!

I’ve been using X-ATC-Chatter ever since I first found out about the program some time ago. My favorite feature is the ability to change frequency on my com radio and hear the appropriate ATC communication. Tune in Clearance, you’ll hear clearance transmissions, tun in ground you’ll hear ground traffic, and so on.

I like the program so much, I also use Mark’s FS-ATC-Chatter when I’m flying MS2020!

Personally, I think $15.00 is a bit low for such an addon!

Thanks Mark

XP can be a pretty quiet and a lonely place since it doesn’t have default multiplayer, and the default ATC is very simple and not fully immersive. X-ATC-Chatter is a must and brings XP alive with much more immersion than default. Bring sound to those quiet skies with X-ATC-Chatter.

X-ATC-Chatter is a must to have addon for XP11, it saved my ATC experience on XP11. After testing multiple other softwares that or not work so well or have a too much robotic experience, this addon is perfect. Another nice feature is that its very easy on cpu resources and works perfectly.

Also it is constantly updated with more and more features and voice packs for free.

I love it and strongly recommend it!
