I flew with P2ATC V2 for a long time. Now I've switched to version 3. The first flights were quite successful. However, I do have a few questions. In the old version, a clearance to descend was issued at the TOD. If my calculated TOD was a little earlier, I could request it (request enroute descent). In version 3, I can see the TOD in the flight plan, but nothing happens when I reach the point. Does the TOD work differently in version 3?

The displayed TOD shows the one calculated for the flight plan as it is displayed and not the one that ATC might use, based on its modifications for things like anticipated vectors, etc.  You can press the Activate button and the TOD usually moves nearer to where you will actually get a descent instruction.

However, I did not receive any descent instructions from ATC on my last flights. Shouldn't ATC report at the TOD point?

It's certainly possible there is a bug.  We are working on a few bugs for the next update.

You can usually press the Activate button (above the flight plan) and the intended approach/vector track will be shown, and you can see if you are just flying away from the intended track or actually on track to get vectors or something that would delay the TOD.

OK, thank you. I'll wait for the next update. Why doesn't Smart Copilot request “Request enroute descent” anymore? This worked very well in version 2 if the TOD deviated too much from the TOD of the Toliss A320.
