Contact tower trigger point

[robvanderwiele 2]

Hello Dave,

I've a question about the trigger point which is used to switch to the tower frequency. 
I'm trying to change a taxi route, again at EHAM. But this time for runway 36C.
I imported the taxiways for EHAM, I use the Flytampa airport. 

When I press the RouteToRunway button in the Gate and Taxiway Maintenance dialog,
I get a route I don't want to take, I want to take the lowest entry point.

There are no hold short points and there is a break in the route. 
So I added a hold short point and closed the taxi route, I also added a taxi
point which is close to the runway start.
Changing the taxi route gives me no problem. See the pictures below. 
And it also gives me the route I want when I press the RouteToRunway button again.

When I request taxi clearance the route is also ok but the black
triangle (trigger point) is still at the start of the runway.



Whatever I try I just can't get it closer to the hold short point.
Is there any way I can force this to happen? 
Would it be an idea to be able to place this trigger point manually.
This way you would be very flexible in defining the taxi route.

Regards,
Rob

Rob,

Have you tried using this to get taxi and takeoff instructions from ATC while connected?  There is additional logic in the ATC controller that will use the Runway Overrun for Takeoffs.

If it does not work properly with ATC, please Save the Taxiway and Gate files using the Save/Load tab and email to me (admin@pilot2atc.com) along with the Gate you are at when requesting taxi and I'll see what's going on.

Thanks,

Dave
