Buster

Buster is a companion app to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 that alerts you whenever you fly into a new airspace.

It shows your current airspace, and announces transitions into new airspaces using text-to-speech.

You can download the Windows 64-bit binary.

The binary zip above includes airspace definitions for the United States. If you want to fly in other countries, just download the appropriate files from OpenAIP. (Why does OpenAIP not link to that page anywhere? I had to get it from the forums.) The files you want start with the 2-letter ISO country code for the region you're interested in, then _asp.aip. After downloading the file, move it to the folder containing buster.exe, and then restart buster.exe.
