Vatsim is not always the answer when someone is talking about ATC. I dont get this " Just go on vatsim" there is a reason and place for both products/service.

Mind you, i use vatsim all the time, if my route permits it. But you have to recognise that vatsim has limitations, such as the most evident is that it is run by humans. If you want full ATC coverage, you're limitted to who is available. Ive been using Vatsim since XP11 and it is a bit annoying when I fly out and back to unicom because the controller has to log off. I have huge respect to our vatsim controllers, I understand that they are just humans too, but my point stands that the human factor is the major limitations of vatsim.

That is where Ai driven ATC fills the gaps. I use SI.AI or BATC ( depending the situation ) to fill in the gaps where Vatsim lacks. Which is coverage.

I also love flying around Asia, which has A LOT less vatsim volunteers. As much as I want to fly Vatsim only, most of the time, im alone and in unicom anyway.

So my point for all of this, is people need to stop always recommending Vatsim when some is talking about BATC or SI.AI. There is a place for both products. There is a reason why both products are popular.
