P2A beta Q8 controller is not advising to descend at TOD.

As the title says, the controllers are not advising to descend. Furthermore the approach advise is coming to early (sometimes before TOD).

Same issue here more or less. Using Beta 8Q I get the 'Expect' call and the 'Cleared for the...' call, but not the 'Descend via'. Also seems to be hit and miss as to whether I get passed from CTR to APP.

same here. I was told to contact tower at 28000 feet, 133 nm away.

The next Beta may address some of this.  However, if you have the Log File for these flights, please email them to me or upload them and post a link.  DO NOT COPY THE LOG FILE INTO THIS FORUM.

Having just tried Beta 8R3 and reflown a route where I previously encountered the issues mentioned above, everything ran as expected. So that's a provisional thumbs up from me.

[Mike Berger]

Beta 8R3 worked for me as well.

thanks

Spoke too soon. Whilst the issues mentioned above seem to have been resolved (for me at least), vectoring is still way off - no turn to final, and no final descent instruction to 3000ft. P2A seems to lose it somewhere during vectoring.

[Dave-Pilot2ATC]

Yes, there does seem to be a problem in 8R3 vectoring.  Hopefully I'll have a fix soon.

I just put Beta 8R4 up on the Public Beta page of the web site and it should fix this issue. 

The web site is still the temporary on on p2atc.org.  If you enter either p2atc.org or p2atc.com you will go to the temporary web site.
