SkyLink ATC + Cabin Crew Bundle for Xbox

MAKE YOUR XBOX FLIGHTS FEEL ALIVE FROM GATE TO GATE

Microsoft Flight Simulator looks incredible on Xbox, but a flight can still feel quiet once you leave the gate.

SkyLink Immersion Bundle adds conversational ATC, automatic Cabin Crew, worldwide VFR, an evolving Career Mode and live communication with other pilots on the SkyLink network.

Connect your Xbox headset to SkyLink, bind Push-To-Talk to your controller and stay focused on the aircraft while your companion device handles the experience.

One-time purchase. Lifetime access. No subscription.

It combines SkyLink Comms ATC and SkyLink Cabin Crew for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 on Xbox Series X|S.

NEW: BUILD YOUR OWN PILOT CAREER

Start as a developing general aviation pilot and work your way towards advanced commercial and airline operations.

Create your pilot profile, choose a personal callsign and select a home base anywhere in the world. Career Operations then builds assignments around the area you want to fly.

Your career can include:

• Circuits and local training flights
• Cross-country navigation
• Charter, utility, cargo and instrument operations
• Multi-engine flying
• Regional and airline progression
• Mission stories, characters and spoken briefings
• Post-flight debriefs, scores and career rewards
• Pilot ranks, qualifications, achievements and statistics

Each assignment has its own story, objectives and radio environment. Complete missions and watch your career develop.

Because Xbox does not currently provide full aircraft telemetry to external services, SkyLink grades radio work and milestones it can verify, then asks you to confirm outcomes it cannot see.

NEW: FULLY FLEDGED WORLDWIDE VFR MODE

VFR is now its own complete SkyLink experience. No SimBrief flight plan or SimBrief username is required.

Enter your registration, airports and intentions. SkyLink builds the VFR radio flow for that operation.

Fly:

• Controlled or uncontrolled airports
• Circuits and traffic patterns
• Local, scenic, training and cross-country flights
• VFR departures, arrivals and airspace transits
• Touch-and-go, stop-and-go and full-stop operations
• Australian, New Zealand, FAA, UK and worldwide ICAO phraseology

The VFR Radio Coach shows what to say next using your callsign, runway and current stage. Speak naturally or follow the suggested phrase.

At controlled airports, SkyLink provides realistic responses, clearances and readbacks. At uncontrolled airports, it understands CTAF calls without inventing a controller.

Where data is available, SkyLink combines live weather with real runway layouts to select a wind-favoured runway. Choose your parking position for a MakeRunways taxi route using real taxiway names.

Cabin Crew is automatically switched off for normal GA VFR flights, keeping the experience appropriate to the aircraft you are flying.

NEW: LIVE PILOT COMMS

SkyLink is no longer only a conversation between you and ATC.

See other pilots who are actively flying on the SkyLink network, listen to their live radio transmissions and speak directly to them using Push-To-Talk.

Live Pilot Comms lets you discover active pilots, listen live, speak directly through a separate pilot-to-pilot Push-To-Talk control and hear transmissions with a radio-style VHF effect. You control when your flight is visible and whether talkback is allowed.

Live communication depends on other SkyLink pilots being online and choosing to make their flight available.

XBOX HEADSET AND CONTROLLER PUSH-TO-TALK

Connect your Xbox headset to SkyLink and bind Push-To-Talk to your controller, so you can communicate without constantly reaching for your companion device.

Hold PTT.
Make your transmission.
Release the button.
Hear the response through your headset.

Your companion device runs SkyLink while your headset and controller connect the experience to your cockpit.

REALISTIC CONVERSATIONAL ATC

SkyLink Comms follows the structure of a real flight instead of using random radio prompts.

The experience can cover:

• Clearance
• Pushback and startup
• Taxi
• Takeoff
• Climb
• Cruise and handoffs
• Descent
• Approach
• Landing
• Runway vacation and taxi to parking

Request clearances, speak naturally, complete readbacks and keep the flight moving from gate to gate.

IFR pilots can import a SimBrief plan for route, aircraft, runway and flight details. VFR pilots can begin without SimBrief using the dedicated VFR setup.

With Smart Sync, choose where you are or say a supported sync phrase whenever your real position and SkyLink differ.

AUTOMATIC CABIN CREW

SkyLink Cabin Crew is more than a soundboard. Announcements are designed to follow your journey while you focus on flying.

Your cabin experience can include boarding announcements, your own music, safety demo support, takeoff preparation, seatbelt events, cruise, turbulence alerts, descent, arrival and deboarding.

SkyLink creates the feeling of an active cabin operating behind you from boarding through arrival.

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES

Use SkyLink ATC and Cabin Crew in:

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Japanese
• Portuguese

Fly in your preferred supported language and bring more realism to flights around the world.

IMPORTANT

SkyLink runs through your phone, tablet or laptop alongside your Xbox flight.

No software is currently installed directly onto the console. Since full external telemetry is not presently available from Xbox, SkyLink uses your setup, voice calls, confirmations and Smart Sync to follow progress.

Live Pilot Comms requires another participating SkyLink pilot to be online. Visibility and talkback controls remain in the pilot’s hands.

The planned Xbox toolbar remains subject to Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace approval and availability.

After purchase, you will receive your access instructions by email.
