P2A does understand the phonetic alphabet.  it's the names that are a problem.  Is the name in all capital letters?  It could be a problem in the comparison logic.

What readback is having this issue?  Is the clearance readback, the expected arrival readback or a clearance readback?

It's expected arrival. Anyway, you have confirmed p2atc understand phonetic alphabet, it may be better.

If you have the problem again, please send me the log file for a flight where this occurs to help me identify where the problem is.

P2A Log files are located in: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\P2A_200\Logs where <UserName> is your PC user name. 
After the problem occurs, shut down P2A and the most recent file in the Logs folder will be the right one to send.

Today I requested clearance, SID was EKLO8M, and I read back by phonetic alphabet, p2atc could recognized all words, understand readback altitude and squawck but still said that readback incorrect, 3 times. I'm using latest version (1h) and below is log file and route:

LIRF SIP9C SIPRO Z803 TEA L995 KAPPO M603 GOKEL M26 DITAN DITA1N LATI

The clearance readback is the most complex and usually the program can understand it if you pronounce the procedure names as words, like "Eklo eight M" for the SID name.  If that fails, you can press the SayIt button and it will get accepted.

With the millions of proper names and acronyms in the aviation world around the planet, the Grammar to understand them all would be impossible, so pressing the SayIt button is your best option, rather than getting frustrated that the machine can't understand you. 

If you have read the response printed in Yellow and it fails, just let the Copilot do his/her job and press SayIt.

Hi Dave,

Is possible P2ATC automatically change landing or take off runways due to weather from active sky? And randomrize STARs and SIDs function working properly?

  • Commercial Member

If you uncheck the "Force Pilot Ruwnay Selection" it will change runways if weather changes before you get the Expected arrival information.

Randomizing SIDs and STARs randomizes whether you get them or not.  It does not randomize the SID or STAR selected because that is dependent on the Flight Plan route.

I have flight from LFRS to LIRF, unchecked "Force Pilot Runway Selection". According to metar and atis, landing runway was 34L and 34R, but P2atc assigned me runway 16L

P2atc was using Active Sky in Wx tab. Below is log:

Wind is not the only factor in runway selection.

Preferred Light Wind runways are used if the Headwind/tailwind components are below the limits entered in TaxiMnt.

Availability of precision approaches, etc. will also influence it.  And if the flight plan selected approach/runway does not violate any rules, it will be favored.

The actual METAR does not give landing runways.  Looks like ASN has selected some runways that it favors.

You can select one of those runways in your flight plan.  Then, en-route, when you get your expected arrival call from ATC, if it doesn't give you what you want, you can request a specific Destination runway.

Hi DAVE, is possible turn off "Descend to cross...." when reached to TOD of p2atc? cause I want to request descend manually when reach to tod by self calculated, it's more realistic.

And one more thing, when P2atc could not receive weather report form active sky or rex weather force, it prompted a popup, but that popup was behind the game screen, if user did not notice and turn the popup off, p2atc would be freeze. Kindly inform to you if it's a bug.

Regards.

It does understand the phonetic alphabet now.

For example, when saying the Code for an airport.

It may not understand it in some contexts.  If you are doing a readback, just pronounce the words like ATC says them and it should be understood.

How about this, Dave?

Hi Dave, Could you please add "choose active runway by win direction"? Cause as I research from youtube and pilots, active runways usally chosen by wind direction.
