February 22, 200521 yr Hi All,I am having a problem when I am arriving at my destination airport,RC3.1 keeps telling me to turn 90 degrees off of my approach heading when reaching 10K then resume on course when able.Example my flight to Midway last night I was desending through 12K the controller told me to fly heading 264 upon reaching 10K, proceded on course when able, 2 second later, I get "I say again fly heading 264" I was still desending through 11800, ok so I turn to 264, I get Contact arrival on ###.##, I contact arrival, now I get fly heading 064, 180 degrees out, this is the heading I should of recieved in the first place,it's really bugging me as i get this on just about every flight.I do not get a crossing altitude like before, "Expect to cross DO DO at 10 thousand 250 kts."I am using RC3.1 Version 3.10.0.2272.This is a complete re-install of RC3, Can't wait for RC4, this is the only ATC program I use as I never fly on-line and I fly every day, So any help will be gratefully appreciated.Thanks,Dale Reitz
February 23, 200521 yr Commercial Member if you are being turned 90 degrees off course when you should be contacting approach, you are missing your crossing restriction. you may not be getting the "old" crossing restriction, which is "cross 40 miles from xxx at 10000, 250knots"you're probably getting the "new" crossing restriction, "descend and maintain 10000, i need you level in 30 miles or less"jd JD Read my blog
February 23, 200521 yr Author Yep, thats the problem, I'm not getting to 10K soon enough, I'm trying to follow my descent profile on my PMDG 737-700, so I will have to descend a little faster when center gives me the initial descent at 60 mi or so.Thanks JDlink:jdtllc.com|http://jdtllc.com/images/RCsupporter.jpg
