SayIntentions.Ai announces Navigraph partnership to fix Taxiing with ATC in Microsoft Flight Simulator
SayIntentions.AI took the MSFS community by storm earlier this year with its innovative approach to solving some longstanding problems with ATC in flight simulation. By leveraging advanced AI technologies, including GPT-4, to provide a dynamic, intuitive, and natural ATC interaction experience, SayIntentions.AI quickly became a success. Alongside BeyondATC, there’s no doubt that it has transformed the simulated ATC landscape in Microsoft Flight Simulator!
Over the past few months, SayIntentions.AI has seen consistent improvements and updates, evolving beyond the initial version into a progressively more polished and feature-rich software. And the developers have kept the community up to date in a transparent and interactive process.
This week, SayIntentions.AI has announced a breakthrough that promises to solve longstanding issues affecting all existing ATC programs, particularly how these systems handle taxiing.
So, how does SayIntentions.AI plan to address these issues? Firstly, through a partnership with Navigraph, which enables SayIntentions.AI to access Jeppesen’s high-quality taxiway data, known for its precision and reliability. Jeppesen is renowned for its comprehensive aeronautical data, and this partnership allows SayIntentions.AI to integrate this data directly into their ATC software.
This integration means that users of SayIntentions.AI in Microsoft Flight Simulator will experience more accurate taxiway layouts, names, and logistics, reflecting real-world conditions. The Jeppesen data covers approximately 1,000 major airports worldwide, significantly enhancing the authenticity of operations at these locations.
To access this enhanced taxiway data, users need to be Navigraph subscribers, an additional cost on top of the monthly subscription for SayIntentions.AI. However, the creators are committed to providing a no-compromise, no-excuses platform that strives to be the best in the market, regardless of cost.
So, what about all the other airports outside of the Jeppesen database? Alongside the partnership announcement, SayIntentions.AI is also introducing a new program, which they are calling TaxiTuner, that allows users to actively participate in improving taxiway data. This new tool enables users to modify, update, and share taxiway information within the simulator community. Simmers will be able to adjust taxiway labels and paths at specific airports using an intuitive interface provided by SayIntentions.AI.
This community-driven approach not only leverages the knowledge and experience of simmers but also helps rapidly disseminate more accurate data across the platform. Users can create custom modifications to an airport’s taxiway layout, which can then be shared and used by others, fostering a collaborative environment that benefits all users.
Going forward, SayIntentions.AI users with a Navigraph subscription will see both services integrate seamlessly, enabling the enhanced ATC functionalities on the airports covered by the Jeppesen data to recognize and utilize the provided taxiway data.
For airports outside the Jeppesen coverage or for users without a Navigraph subscription, the community-created taxiway data becomes a valuable resource, ensuring that all users benefit regardless of their subscription status.
And with that, the team at SayIntentions.AI takes another step forward in their effort to create the best AI-powered ATC software for flight simulation. All of this is coming within the next few days!
There’s a lot of other cool stuff coming, with major new announcements planned for the next week and the week after. The team has many exciting features on the roadmap, including IFR approaches and arrivals, VFR support in Europe, regional accents, improved response times, integration with virtual airlines, and much more.
SayIntentions.Ai is now available for a monthly subscription of $29.95. To test the concept, you have access to a 24-hour demo period, which should be enough to gauge the software’s capabilities.
It’s a great time for ATC in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and we’ll continue to bring you all of these updates. Stay tuned!
Editor’s note: Made it more clear that the TaxiTuner software does not require a Navigraph subscription.
