September 25, 20169 yr Moderator I have a minor annoyance with PF3 (which I just purchased thanx to Bob) - I have a lot of plans that are direct GPS routes from airport to airport. PF3 won't load them - complains that the plan must have a waypoint. Unless I missed it, there's no way around this except to add a waypoint. :( Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160

Vic That's also true with PATC, you must have at least one waypoint. I use Skyvector to create the plan which takes just a minute, and then use Plan G to load the plan from Skyvector, and PlanG exports it as a FS 2004 plan which P3D and PF3 can read. Here is a video of that being done.

September 25, 20169 yr In what way is PF3 more immersive and interesting than default ATC when it comes to VFR flights?

September 25, 20169 yr In what way is PF3 more immersive and interesting than default ATC when it comes to VFR flights? Try it and find out for yourself. Default ATC is way way way out of the picture and is not in any way shape or form ICAO compliant.

Vic You cannot have a valid IFR flight plan without waypoints. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA

September 25, 20169 yr Ok, clear, but when you fly VFR you don't have that much contact with ATC, at least not as you have when you fly VFR. So what does PF3 offer specifically for VFR that default doesn't offer? I know default ATC sucks for IFR, which is why I own ProATC, but for VFR default isn't that bad (and ProATC is pretty useless for VFR) and so I'd like to know hat PF3 would give me when flying VFR. The provided link still mainly shows me IFR related features. Bob said PF3 is great for VFR and I still don't know why.
