Fenix/SI ACARS Update, ActiveSky Updates, and More!
Official Release of The Fenix A3xx series with SayIntentions ACARS support!
Note: There is a release bug that is actively being patched
Fenix has released their update that includes CPDLC support for SayIntentions. Please update if you use the Fenix series. We congratulate Fenix with this! (See also their post on the Fenix Discord: ( Fenix Sim ) Please be aware that we only support CPDLC issues with this official released update and not with workarounds such as host files.
In the Fenix client, set your service to SayIntentions if you want to use it with our service. You do not need to set your SI API key from the Portal.

ActiveSky Update
HiFi has just released an update to ActiveSky that includes full, native integration with SayIntentions.AI!! This fixes all previous issues with ActiveSky + SI and we strongly recommend all users give it a try ASAP.
The upcoming v2.7.0.8 of the SayIntentions.AI app will be changing the ActiveSky settings to a single combo-box selection "Weather Source: " (choices will be Real-World, or ActiveSky). However, the current version has full support for the NEW ActiveSky integration methodology, and it will start working immediately upon upgrading your ActiveSky app.
As a side note.. I'd like to comment that Damian, the lead developer at HiFi, has been OUTSTANDING as we've worked together to find a solution that will solve all of our previous issues. I can't recommend these guys enough.
Most updates from our Experimental server are LIVE NOW on the Primary server! Big list below:
AI ATC Updates:
General Updates
Fix Names: With about 98% accuracy, all fix-names should now be pronounced correctly. (A few exceptions, which we can adjust by hand). Should be a super nice upgrade to the immersion.
Lots and lots of IFR fixes for arrivals pushed in today. Your feedcback is being heard. We re-run many flights at a granular level to try to find the areas where the decision making is failing. Keep the feedback coming.
Pushbacks: "Face <direction> is now a thing.
IFR Clearances: I think I finally got that bug worked out where sometimes you ask for an IFR clearance and it stays VFR.
Vectoring: MAJOR fix to vectoring code just pushed in.. likely will prevent the "ATC forgot about me" scenario.
AI CoPilot Updates
General Updates
The bug where co-pilot would fail to respond, and then fail to respond for the rest of the flight, is hopefully fixed. It may still fail to respond under rare circumstances, but it should snap out of it within 60 seconds or so.
Client Updates
Latest Version - 2.7.0.8
Note that your app should automatically update itself on restart.
To install it manually, download the .zip file, and run the installer.
What's New:
Weather settings (real vs activesky) are simplified.
Fixed bug where mic test might show something wasn't working, even though everything was fine.
Change COM Radio Display to show 'OFF' when Radio is OFF (instead of just turning gray)
Critical fixes for speech to text issues.
COM1/COM2: If you are running an aircraft with both COM1 and COM2 turned off, the app will now tell you what's going on, rather than just ignoring you.
Any chance of adding a dark/light mode button on these pages/posts? Dark mode is hard on my eyes for reading text like this. Thank you :)
