0.1.5b P2ATC starts approach vectors during departure

April 14, 20251 yr

I've repeated this twice now, once with 0.1.4, and again with 0.1.5b...during the departure immediately after contacting departure, I get a climb to FL140 and a freq change to 136.4, then immediately after ATC gives me another freq change to the approach freq at my destination over 500 NM away, and it gives me a descent and starts vectors for the approach despite my having barely started my climbout.

If I click on the APPR button, it shows the yellow course line from my present position all the way down to the radar pattern at the destination.

Log follows--the fun starts at 17:35:48 in the log:

same issue here

May 1, 20251 yr

Same with me, using the Flight Factor 777 200ER, Route: SBGR/10L ZORZ2A UBSOD UZ38 UMDEX DCT CXS DCT UMRUD UN741 PAPIX PAPI6A SAEZ/ARSOT.I11-X

I performed two tests with the Flight Factor 777-200ER and another test with the Toliss A320neo on the same route, and the issue occurred every time. I then ran another test, changing the STAR from PAPI6A to PAGO7U. The new route was:

SBGR/10L ZORZ2A UBSOD UZ38 UMDEX DCT CXS DCT UMRUD UN741 GUVON DCT PAGON PAGO7U SAEZ/ARSOT.I11-X

The issue did not occur again. So, it appears to be something related to the PAPI6A arrival (or the connection between PAPI6A and the ILS 11X approach via ARSOT).

Yes, not following STAR or any other approach, always seems to give vector's and depending on the aircraft it changes. Just not following a planned flight in FMC.

Working on a fix for this. Should be fixed in 1.6 when it comes out.

I see the version 0.2.1 is already available. I will try this new version.
