Flying online networks like VATSIM is the ultimate immersion, but coverage is rarely 100%. Often, you take off with a human controller only to fly 90% of your route on UNICOM. That silence breaks the realism.
We have solved this with Live VATSIM Handoffs, a feature that seamlessly bridges the gap between SayIntentions.AI and human controllers.
How It Works
This isn't just about running two apps at once. It's about intelligent, bidirectional awareness.
- Leaving VATSIM Coverage: When you leave a sector controlled by a human, SayIntentions.AI automatically picks you up. You'll get a handoff instruction, a new frequency, and seamless ATC services continue.
- Entering VATSIM Coverage: As you approach a human-controlled sector, our AI ATC will hand you off to the VATSIM controller, ensuring you are on the right frequency and squawk code before you make contact.
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS
- Bidirectional Transitions: Works smoothly whether you are entering or leaving VATSIM airspace.
- Frequency Coordination: The system knows the correct frequencies for both AI and human sectors.
- Squawk Preservation: No need to reset your transponder; the codes and flight plan data are maintained.
- Zero Interruptions: Fly a single, continuous flight from gate to gate, regardless of human controller availability.
Why This Matters
This feature removes the "immersion gap" of flying online. You no longer have to choose between the high-quality human interaction of VATSIM and the full gate-to-gate coverage of AI. You get both.
It allows you to treat every flight as a fully staffed operation. If a human controller logs off in the middle of your flight? SayIntentions.AI takes over. If a controller logs exclusively for approach? We guide you right to their sector boundary.
Supported Networks
Currently, this feature is fully optimized for VATSIM. We are actively exploring support for other networks like IVAO and POSCON in future updates.
Get Started
This feature is available now for all SayIntentions Premium users. Simply enable "Network Handoffs" in your client settings, file your flight plan on VATSIM, and go fly.
