Bugs V4 x64

[kneighbour 32]

The orange response 'Traffic not in sight, <callsign>' is actually entered in the program as 'Ttraffic  not in sight, <callsign>', so it does not work.  (double tt)

Clicked "Info" on airfield WPEC. System froze (circling cursor). Had to kill process after 10-15 minutes. This is the Info button on the map screen, not the Flight plan screen. That seems to load ok.

Entered new flight plan - first airport WATC. No problems. Then entered WPEC. Took 2.5 minutes to return - almost gave up and killed process again. But it finally came back ok.

Pressed "Autoplan" (IFR mode). No problems.

Pressed "File" - it wiped the plan, leaving only WATC.

Went through the whole thing again - this time the plan filed ok. Also WPEC loaded instantly this time.

The Sayit screens do not seem to remember their location. I have to readjust them every time I load the program. They are basically way off to the right of the form and unusable. Also, the main form does not remember which monitor it is on, nor the size of the window.

I am not sure what to do when P2A crashes and is then restarted once you are in flight. Do I have to "File" the flight plan again?

Thanks for the bug report.  I'll look into them.

If you need to start P2A mid-flight, follow these steps:

1. Load and File the flight plan the aircraft is currently flying
2. Make the initial call to the appropriate controller like "<CallSign> at FL 320".  This is normally a Center controller.
3. Controller should give you a new squawk code.  Enter the new squawk code and set transponder to Active
4. Controller should say Radar Contact.  You should then be good to go.

If you are in the approach phase of the flight, then this will likely not work.  In that case, you can make an initial call to Approach Control and request an approach to your destination airport.  Something like, "Approach, <CallSign> request radar vectors for the ILS to Runway 35 at Kilo Delta Foxtrot Whiskey".

Just discovered that you generate logs. Will include mine from last night's session. mmm...cannot see how to do that. Will put in segemts here, if that is ok.

There are a lot of errors. Probably not much use unless I can get the full log files to you showing context. VisualBasic! I feel sorry for you if you are using that - I did a few years in VB way back in 1995 or so. No control over anything, so had to give it up. Anyway, hope that the error messages might be of some small help.

I have a decent system - I7-6700k 32 gig RAM, NVIDIA GTX-980 TI 6G RAM, GTX-460, Saitek X55 throttle, Combat rudder pedals, CH Eclipse yoke,TrackIR 5, 5 monitors (main is 40" 4k), Corsair K95 RGB k/b, Win 7 x64. X-Plane 11.1+. I am a computer programmer myself, and have a fast cable internet connection. My downloads run at 4MB/s. So should not be an issue connecting to the internet. Don't take this the wrong way - but I am bemused when you say something takes 40 seconds or so. I am spending a lot of time at the moment trying to read in 2 million records in Firebird - and it is taking way too long at 55 seconds. Anyway, I know that does not cheer you up - all the best fixing these problems!

You're right.  The full logs would be more useful.

Can you please email them to me at admin@pilot2atc.com . 

VB has come a long way in 22 years.  Has all the features and functions of C#.

Thanks,
Dave
