Wow that is very odd. Mark

Try running FS-ATC-Chatter as admin and see if that helps. Mark

On April 12th, 2026, I updated the clip collection with over 1,100 new clips in multiple regions If you are running the FS-ATC-Chatter 1.2.4 player it should detect the update and give you the opportunity to download those new clips. IMPORTANT: You must be running version 1.2.3 or above to get this update: If you are an avid FS-ATC-Chatter user, please consider writing a product review.

Never saw that before. I suggest a fresh install, like this Make a backup copy of the folder: FS-ATC-Chatter\Regions. That will preserve your full clip collection. Using Windows settings, uninstall FS-ATC-Chatter Download and install the FS-ATC-Chatter 1.2.4 demo from here: https://stickandrudderstudios.com/fs-atc-chatter-sample-collection-and-demo/ Replace the Regions folder with the backup you made above, so that the Regions folder contains the full clip set Start FS-ATC-Chatter and see if that corrects it. You might also want to try running as Administrator. Let me know what you find Mark

@vbazillioYou will get that radio busy status when: Either you or SIAI is transmitting SIAI Chatter is playing If it is happening too much and you are getting mostly SIAI chatter, then you can turn down the SIAI chatter slider.

Question I would like to know more about how you work with MSFS ATC and FS-ATC-Chatter. As an example, do you map joystick buttons to the ATC response panel to initiate requests and respond to ATC? As you might know, MSFS has no API that I can use to know when ATC is transmitting. If I had that, I could pause clips when the radio is busy with ATC COMS. The best I could come up with so far was to cause FS-ATC-Chatter to set the next clip start after the MAX delay setting in seconds whenever you change frequencies on the radio. Typically when you do that you are likely to start an ATC request so I could at least prevent the next clip from starting too soon. I might be able to do something similar when I see you interact with the ATC panel. That is why I'd like to know how to interact with it. Mark

I'm open to doing that, but I would need help from the BATC guys. Would you like to suggest it to them? You can have them contact me at: [email protected] Mark

@SonneCan you show me a screenshot of the control panel? I want to make sure you have the volume turned up to 0.00DB with the green slider. Also, I'd like to see your latest log file. Do you have alternate audio devices you can try? You can select them on the Output Device tab of the settings dialog.
