This is a terrific idea. Live ATC Chatter is an add-on from Cielosim for Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004 that streams live, real-time ATC from selected airports when you are in the vicinity. I can imagine this will add a tremendous feeling of realism to flights.

Live ATC Chatter is program for Flight Simulator that allows you to listen to live real-time Air Traffic Control streams within the simulator. It connects via the internet to the ATC streams and then projects the audio in Flight Simulator. Although Live ATC does not come with any ATC streams, you can download them freely at www.liveatc.net. Live ATC enhances your Flight Simulator environment by adding real-time live ATC audio for the selected airports you fly at. If you don’t always have an active internet connection or you don’t want to connect to a stream while flying, Live ATC also offers the option to play either Mp3 or Wave sound chatter files. So whether you be online or offline you will be able to listen to Real ATC chatter in Flight Simulator.

Surely this will get really confusing, since you’ll have non existent aircraft being directed by ATC.
I’ve not tried it, but I think it would be okay. After all, in a real aircraft, you can’t see that many other aircraft around you very often, but they are there.
Please need advise…
Unable to locate the LiveATC.net downloaded streams in my computer.Those streams file are needed for the program to work.
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Well if you ask me even the marketing is confusing,
“Live ATC Chatter is program for Flight Simulator that allows you to listen to live real-time Air Traffic Control streams within the simulator”
Yet you have to download the pre-recorded streams. . . .so its no so live after all.
The program just plays audio files back through the sim.
