Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
Any documentation on how to create an ATC for MSFS 2020?

There isn’t really any full public documentation from Asobo or Microsoft on how to build a custom ATC system for MSFS, at least none that covers logic or voice handling in detail.
I’ve been experimenting with this while developing my own open source project called OpenSquawk: https://opensquawk.de
It’s basically an AI driven ATC system for MSFS and X-Plane that uses speech recognition and text to speech to simulate realistic radio communication.
Some notes from what we found so far:
- You can access aircraft telemetry through SimConnect (position, frequency, com state etc)
- A local .NET 8 bridge app streams that data to a backend API
- The backend handles speech to text and intent parsing, then returns text to speech audio for controller replies
- The frontend is a Nuxt based web interface for both “Classroom” training and live ATC interaction
If you’re looking for a place to start, the source code for our SimConnect bridge might help:
github.com
Happy to share more details if you’re trying to build something similar or run into issues with SimConnect voice integration.
