Navigraph’s latest update brings a new layer of realism to virtual aviation by integrating real-time AI traffic and accurate ATC sector data into their platform. This feature leverages live air traffic information, creating a simulation environment where pilots encounter current air traffic and dynamically updated ATC sectors. These additions mirror real-world traffic patterns, meaning VFR and IFR simmers can navigate the skies with a newfound sense of immersion and authenticity.

The live traffic feature enhances the experience by allowing users to visualize nearby aircraft in real-time, reflecting real-world flights’ speeds, altitudes, and headings. When combined with precise ATC sector data, pilots have a richer context for navigating airspaces, which better mirrors actual air traffic control processes. This upgrade allows for more accurate sector handoffs and brings a layer of operational depth often missing in simulations, particularly valuable for those practicing realistic procedures.

For virtual pilots and ATC fans, this means simulation environments now offer operational depth that supports everything from recreational VFR flying to complex IFR flight planning.
