RogerATC, the right-seat controller for X-Plane 12
A voice-controlled Spanish-English ATC system that reads airport data and responds with structured aviation phraseology.
Field notes
RogerATC uses push-to-talk exchanges and airport-specific data rather than generic conversational replies. Its examples use SADF San Fernando, including Ground at 121.850 and Tower at 119.000, and show the system correcting a position report that conflicts with the airport layout. The page says controller phraseology is written by a person, while the language model only interprets the pilot’s transmission. It also describes a choice between a provider key and fully offline operation.
