- Update 0.6.2 is Live! - Visual Approaches and a New Interface - 4 October 2026
Hello all! Version 0.6.2 is now live on the Stable branch.First, your scope. The session now comes in three skins: Generic, Spain (SACTA) and United States (STARS). It is the same session in each one, and every feature is in every skin. In Settings > Skin you can pick one skin for all airports or one per airport, or leave it on Realistic, which uses the real interface where there is one. Skins can be modded, so you can make your own.The rest of the interface was redesigned too: the Main Menu, New Session, Load Session, Settings, the Escape menu, the top bar and the panels. The radio strip shows RX, TX, BLOCKED and PARSING. Hover any cell of an aircraft label to see what it means and what to say. Text is drawn at your screen's real pixels, so it stays sharp at any size, and a bigger window shows more radar instead of stretching the picture.New players get four tutorials: the essentials o…
- Update 0.6.1 is Live! - Community Contribution - 19 August 2026
Hello all! Version 0.6.1 is now live on the Stable branch. This is a major update to the simulator, with the implementation of RNAV procedures, new voice commands, and new options for community modding. You can see the roadmap at https://voiceatcsimulator.com/roadmap/. Most importantly, community routes and airport procedure contribution is now easier via the website at https://voiceatcsimulator.com/contribute/. I have also created a wiki page! https://voiceatcsimulator.com/wiki/. It should help beginners learn faster. Tutorials are coming later down the road. For the complete compact changelog and discussion, join the Discord: https://discord.gg/v4uRbPFyyB Thank you for the feedback. Enjoy!
- An early version of update 0.6.1 is now live on the Open Beta branch - 26 June 2026
Hello all, new version available (0.6.1.0) in the Open Beta branch. Some key stuff:Performance and accuracy improvements to the voice model thanks to the telemetry data, now everyone uses the same system that's thought for all hardware.TTS fixes.LNAV enhancements to prepare the sim for the new types of approaches in the future.The features for this version seen in the roadmap (voiceatcsimulator.com/roadmap) will be added in the near future, they are not yet available.In general, the voice interaction experience should be better and faster for all types of computers. Still, keep in mind that this is a beta and will be unstable. Hopefully you notice the upgrade from 0.6.0.I've also fixed several of the bug reports. The next week I will go one by one on each thread and confirm the fixes for the ones I've worked on (if you feel like telling me in advance it'd help me a lot). I know there's…

- VoiceATC Simulator - New horizons - 1 March 2026
Hey everyone! I guess you saw yesterday's trailer, I’m very excited to announce that VoiceATCSimulator v0.6, a major milestone in the development of the project, will go public in the development branch on March 21st. The main feature is Navigraph integration, which effectively unlocks the entire world for controlling. From now on, you are no longer limited to predefined areas — you can control anywhere. It’s important to clarify that a Navigraph subscription is not required to use this feature. If you don’t have a subscription, you will simply operate on an older AIRAC cycle. The simulator remains fully functional either way. Another big step forward is the introduction of realistic traffic generation. Traffic now follows realistic routes generated through a dedicated route generation algorithm, and aircraft spawning behavior is designed to be much closer to real-world operations. This…
