Hey Dave,

   I ran into a couple of issues tonight, with MSFS 2020.  Not sure if these are specific to MSFS or not, but here they are (I sent an email do the admin email with the exception screenshot and the log file):

   1) I completed two flights in MSFS/P2A, both VFR short trips.  For the 3rd trip i went to load in a flight plan and it gave me the exception in the screenshot.  Of note, when I quit p2a and restarted and loaded the same flight plan it loaded in fine.  So must be something related to trying to load after a flight completes.

   2) On both VFR flights i did i was talking to the tower and in both cases it told me to expect the correct runway, but after that, never gave me any further instructions like cleared to land or anything.  I noticed a couple of errors in the log that might be related.

       The first flight was KRAL - KLGB, secon flight was KLGB - KSNA.  I did the Auto generate plan option and it gave me basic flight plans which i followed.  ATC handoffs occurred as expected throughout.  Only had the problem when landing at the destination with the tower.

    I'm using the latest 2.6.1.3, with airac 2008.

   Thanks,

   Joe

Thanks Joe.

On #1, it looks like you are not properly connected.  The screenshot shows the aircraft in the middle of nowhere, which happens when the aircraft location is not being received from the SIM.  This can be caused by the SIM being paused during a location change or the connection to the SIM going down for whatever reason.  

On #2, the first flight from KRAL to KRGB, the connection to the SIM was lost right after Approach told you to expect Runway 30.  That effectively killed the rest of that flight.  The next attempt looks like it concluded properly, although I can't see all the pattern position calls I would expect.  

On the flight from KRGB to KSNA, the handoff to tower seemed to work correctly, and tower told you to expect RW 20R.  The initial call just told tower you were climbing to 3500 feet.  To get the "report right downwind runway 20 right" call, you need to include "...inbound for landing".  But as long as you have been told what runway to expect, you can set up and fly a standard VFR pattern, making all the position reports.  You can also ask tower to "...Say pattern direction runway 20" if you don't know which way to set up.

Thanks again for the report.

Dave

Ah Yes, i did not make the calls to the tower, probably when i should have.

Thanks for the info.
