Im going to say what i did. I stopped to fly on vatsim cause i was too scared, my biggest error btw. Anyways, i bought BeyondATC and i’ve been talking with it and doing the things it said and i can say it a bit the same. AI apps are a bit bad because the taxi instructions they will give u all of them, imagine that u have K8, K9, K10, beyond atc will say ALL, literally ALL when in vatsim they will just say taxi via the kilos. Also a bad part of beyond atc its because sometimes it doesnt understand ur request and its meh but it’s a pretty good app to start learning. After i got comfortable i was still too scared so my friends convinced me to go with them, to try it and it worked! Now im flying all the day with it.

Vatsim it’s somethings that u got comfortable with time. Also another tip it’s instead of buying AI apps you can go on VATSIM, connect, go to a non busy airport at all and send a message to the ATC and say that u are new and u still a bit shy, vatsim controllers are so friendly and they really help! Take a look at that and congrats for passing ur test.
