This is what I do at unfamiliar airports.I contact FS ATC for straight out departure then after being given my assigned runway, activate prog taxi, disable fs atc, load this into fsnav, export, start RC load up exported plan 99-100 RC asigns the same RWY. pb and taxi with prog taxi to asigned RWYGerry

The 'R.C.' manual tells you to load the flight plan before firing up FS9?

Gerry, Can you please clarify exactly what you mean by "disable FS ATC". I have seen suggestions such as switch to Comm 2, turn down volume for ATC to minimum, or do you mean going into the ATC setting and unchecking the three options.Sorry for such a dumb question but I want to be clear.Warren

Warren,during my use of RC, I disable ATC sound and ATC active display.Hope this helpsGerry

Dave,Below, Extract from another post by JDGerry--------------------------------------------------------------------rc chooses the arrival and departure runways based on ai movements. be sure to load rc LAST, and make sure the weather is refreshed and the ai are refreshed to enjoy your takeoffs and landingsjd
