October 17, 20223 yr Hi Dave, Pilot2ATC froze mid flight (IFR PANC-PADQ). I kept flying, closed PILOT2ATC, restarted it and loaded the same flight plan again. I contacted ATC and tried to file the FP without sucess. The ATC kept saying the FP was old and I had to refill it. I modified it (mainly just introducing the destination airport) and asked for clearance a several times, but I couldn't find a way to "continue" the FP where Pilo2ATC left it when it froze or to get to PADQ IFR I guess I am missing something. Can you please assist? Thank you. BR
October 17, 20223 yr Commercial Member If you have to restart P2A in mid flight you: 1. Load same flight plan as was loaded prior to the disconnect/crash. (So you'll be on course when you restart) 2. Connect to SIM 3. File the flight plan 4. Make initial call to ATC. Usually this would be “<CallSign> at flight level xxx” or something similar 5. ATC will give you a squawk code and all should proceed normally after that. This will work while you are en-route, up until you've received the Arrival Information call. After that, it may or may not work. Dave Edited October 17, 20223 yr by Dave-Pilot2ATC
October 17, 20223 yr Author Thanks Dave. That's the thing. I press file but it doesn't get green. Does it matter? Br
October 17, 20223 yr Commercial Member Yes, it matters. If it doesn't turn green, then something is probably wrong with the plan and it is not filing. Are you running the latest Public Beta version? There were some Filing issues a long time ago. Dave
October 17, 20223 yr Author Beta 8B when I had the issue. I have just installed 8E. The FP filed ok on departure and was imported from simbrief
October 17, 20223 yr Author Just to clarify I had BETA 8B installed when I had the issue. The FP was imported from simbrief and filed ok on departure but I couldn't file it midflight (it didn't turn green). I have just installed BETA 8E.
