AI ATC integration

Hello,

I started worinkg on AI ATC integration for the sim. Currently testing with Sayintentions.

Available features:

• Reads the in sim COM1 and COM2 channels and the transponder state
• Reads the position, heading, altitude and speed of the aircraft
• Reads if the aircraft is airborn or not
• The AI copilot can tune to a new frequency so it can handle the full flight

Planned features:

• AI copilot can interact with the cockpit to follow checklists

Soon I will upload it to GitHub.

Will it be possibly implemented for Aerofly FS global (Mobile)? I've been hoping for an interactable ATC feature for the global version.

I will check the possibilities after finishing the PC version.

Hi, Sayintentions app only work in a PC with Windows 10/11 (64-bit).

Maybe it can work with a Bridge like the PC version. I will check it, when the PC version is fully set up.

Which aircraft will it be associated with? Thanks.

Currently I tested it with Boeing and Airbus aircrafts, and all of them works. Seems like FS4 uses the same variabes on every plane, so in theory, all of them should work.

Will this mod and the SayIntentions AI have some form of integration with the MacOS environment?

Since I don't have any kind of Apple product, I can't test it.
I will release the Python script soon, so if someone will have the ability, can try to adapt it.
About Sayintentions, I don't have any clue.

I finished it.
Currenty it works on Windows with the PC version of FS4, and Sayintentions.AI only.
You can start the sim in regular mode and VR mode too.
On the first launch, you have to insert your Simbrief name and maybe locate your main.mcf file.
I tested it for longer time with the A320 family and the B737-800.

There are some known limitations:

• When you use METAR, it only inserts wind and clouds. The temp and baro has no available variable in the sim.
• The FO can't access any button or lever, except the radio COM1 and COM2 standby frequencies, plus the swap button.
• If you have a Fligh plan with higher altitude that FL280, it will set the CRZ FL to FL280, and you have to insert it by hand (clicking on the CDU/FMC will bring the correct value).
• Fuel and payload can't be set. It pastes the right amount to the main.mcf file, but for some reason the sim will ignore it and resets to a default value.
• Cost index must be inserted manually. There is no available variable for it in the sim.
