At this year’s FSWeekend 2025 in the Netherlands, the team behind SayIntentions.AI dropped some major news for flight sim fans—highlighting their roadmap for the future of AI-driven ATC and traffic systems in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
One of the biggest takeaways? SayIntentions.AI is working on a brand-new AI traffic system from the ground up. This isn’t just another add-on to layer on top of default traffic—it’s a completely independent system. That means it doesn’t rely on the in-sim live traffic or multiplayer networks, and it's designed to handle realistic enroute behavior, holding patterns, and more. Basically, it’s traffic that acts like actual traffic.
Another exciting announcement: SayIntentions.AI is planning to launch its own multiplayer network. This will allow sim pilots to join a shared environment and experience free ATC coverage across the globe. And yes, you read that right—free ATC coverage. Unlike traditional networks where coverage can be sparse or inconsistent, this system aims to provide blanket, AI-powered control wherever you fly.
They’re also introducing a new tech called “Intentions Sharing,” which sounds like the flight sim version of reading each other’s minds. Pilots using the platform will be able to share their flight intentions—think route changes, altitude requests, and more—so AI and human controllers can manage traffic more fluidly and accurately. The days of guessing what that guy ahead of you is doing? Numbered.
The update also brings improvements to their speech recognition and phraseology systems. That means ATC communication will feel even more natural and authentic, regardless of your experience level.
For newcomers, the ease of getting started is a huge win. There’s no need to study complex charts or memorize comms procedures. You can simply plug in a mic, talk like a real pilot, and get guided through your flight.
And yes, everything they’re building works seamlessly with VFR and IFR flights. Whether you're flying a Cessna at pattern altitude or cruising at FL390 in a 777, SayIntentions.AI wants to make sure you’ve got someone (or something) watching your six.
As of now, there’s no hard launch date for the new traffic and multiplayer systems, but the team hinted that early versions could arrive later this year. Until then, pilots can still enjoy the current version of SayIntentions.AI, which continues to evolve with regular updates and community feedback.
If you’re a Microsoft Flight Simulator pilot who’s ever wished for smarter traffic, better ATC, and more immersive communication, keep your eye on SayIntentions.AI. FSWeekend 2025 just confirmed they’re playing the long game—and changing it in the process.
