I have just tried to complete a flight from Meigs (KCGX( via VOR's CGT, JOT, DPA and then to arrive at KORD.After departing KCGX I didn't get any HDG callouts and I only got the ALT callout I recieved just before taking off.The only way I can complete the legs is to look at AdvDisp to see the waypoints.Now I have had RC2.2 and I allways used to get HDG and ALT callouts for the legs of flight.What is wrong ?I have attached my flightplan (.pln) which I created with NAV 3.1CheersCWE :0)

It looks like your first waypoint after takeoff is less than 30 nm. RC assumes you are following your own planned departure scheme and other than occasional traffic deviations (if enabled) will expect you to perform your own navigation.ATC vectoring during departure requires your first waypoint to be greater than 30 nm from your takeoff point. I assume vectoring is what you are referring to as callouts.

>It looks like your first waypoint after takeoff is less than>30 nm. You're right. I got wrong from the start. I thought your first waypoint should be within 30 nm for ATC to vector you from departure.i have just flown KCGX, EON, JOT, DPA, KORD, where EON VOR was 36.2 nm from KCGX - and it worked as you said.(Well if nothing else is working read the manual........)Lets say I create a flight where the first waypoint is within 30nm and I fly own navigation to this waypoint, am I then vectored by ATC to the remaining waypoints in the flightplan when I pass the first waypoint or at what point is ATC vectoring started..?Cheers and thanx for your helpCarsten (EKCH) :0)

Once you have reached your first waypoint under your own navigation, you are responsible and will not receive vectors until you are handed off to approach near your destination At that time by default you will be vectored unless you choose to do an IAP approach in which case the initial fix should be included in your plan.I do not recall from the instructions how to get vectoring throughout out your flight but ATC will monitor you and let you know if you deviate. If I recall they will recommend in that case a vector or continue vectoring to get you back but you are responsible to determine when you are back on course and resume your own navigation.

It isn't ATC's job to vector unless you are off course, or in Departure or Approach space and no DP or IAP is used.So the answer is, there is no way to get ATC to vector you unless you're off course a lot, then ATC will only point you in the general direction of the plan, then you and FSDO will meet up at the end and have a b-b-q with your license.
