Descent question....

[Tony P 160]

At what point should Vox ATC start having me descend? There have been multiple times when I hear nothing but after I request to go lower they give me the go ahead to descend. Is there an issue here?

I always get the order to descend pretty much close to my T/D.just fly and let Vox give you the descend order.

When I fly VFR, I have to ask for a decent. When I fly IFR, I always receive a desent without asking.Murray

I lately get a desent way too early: just now I finished a flight from KSFO to KLAS. VoxATC gave me a desent while I was still 80miles away from the T/D !! I was flying a PMDG 738 at FL370.What's up with that? :(

Eric, I was having the same problem. Contact Tegwin, he sent me an update that fixed the problem. Now, usually I get descent instructions with 1 or 2 miles of my TD.

can you post the Fix for us to D/L?

Joel, I got the update (6.06) from Tegwyn back in October. I'm not sure why he didn't make it available to the general public. I just emailed him to get permission to give out the link for the update. As soon as I hear from him, I'll let you know.

I desperately need this fix.

[Akila 39]

what is the latest Version out three?did you get a "What's New" file with that fix?what else does it fixes that 6.06?

[mwilk 1,106]

Joel, 6.05 is the latest on the VOX website. There is no fix list and as far as I know it only fixes the early descent. As I said, when I hear from Tegwyn I'll let you know. Maybe if enough folks requested a fix for this problem he'd release another update.

[mwilk 1,106]

Joel, I received a response from Tegwyn this morning giving me permission to publish the links for the update. Unfortunately I'm at work right now. I'll post them as soon as I get home around 1930 UTC.
