Many thanks, that solved the issue.

As per my opening post, this is exactly what I did Kyle but he says his software does not program the FMS (however if this not the case I'm wondering where LFMN is coming from???) Good tip, thanks - I had to double check I wasn't trying to change departure before destination before I replied to your post - and I wasn't, so unfortunately this wasn't the answer. Another good tip - watched one of his videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2bQEXEv7KM) and noted down exact procedure and followed to the letter, but I cannot modify the destination as he does (at 8:05 in video) - please see this new screenshot that shows the EXEC button is not illuminated despite the MOD from LFMN to MHTG. Pressing EXEC does nothing: http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/28/2016-7-27_23-53-49-280.jpg Anymore help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

That's correct - works fine without FSiPanel.

I'm using FSiPanel to practice approaches in the 737NGX however when FSiPanel loads the aircraft the CDU is always programmed with a route from/to LFMN and I can't figure out why: http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-23-44-62.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-23-52-62.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-23-58-901.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-24-5-29.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-24-33-161.jpg http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/07/13/2016-7-12_22-25-11-594.jpg I'm also unable to modify the route. I raised this over at the FSiPanel support forum however the developer Jean-Pierre said that FSiPanel doesn't program the FMS for approach, so I'm not really sure where this is coming from or why. I uninstalled/reinstalled both FSiPanel and 737NGX but to no avail. Any ideas?

Fair enough, thanks bryan

Flying a left hand pattern from/to KPHX (flightbeam) runway 08 practising precision approaches, on the downwind leg PM announces "glideslope alive" but there is no evidence of this on the PFD i.e. no white/pink diamonds. I've performed 3 circuits and has happened each time. Let me know if more information would help. Running p3d v3 latest release. Thanks

Hi Dave I'm trying to practice IFR approaches as previously mentioned and I'm requesting departure from the tower but I get an unhandled exception (see below for detail). I have no flight plan, the VFR radio button is selected and I speak "Speedbird 36 ready for departure runway zero eight" which is successfully recognised (I hear the tone) but immediately after, the exception dialog is displayed. This reproduce-able every time. Thanks Darren Exception details: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text **************

Many thanks Dave for your reply - most helpful. Have now purchased the product - was very useful being able to trial it first.

Really enjoying the trial (day 6) - great program, very impressed and will definitely be purchasing. A few things... One thing I can't seem to get to work is requesting the last transmission - tried all the variations but no response from ATC. This next one is a bit odd as it is not consistent - a couple of times I have had to restore the PTT joystick button to my selection made during a previous session - it has reset back to the first joystick in the list button 0 after restarting the app. I can't tell if the button selection has actually reset as I set it to button 0 anyway, but definitely the joystick selection is not saving - well, not every time. A question - I often fly circuits to practice precision approaches, so not VFR. Can you advise how I can use Pilot2ATC in this scenario if possible i.e. getting clearance for takeoff and landing. A couple of feature requests: 1. The ability to direct sound output from Pilot2ATC to a selected sound device to hear ATC through headset adding realism. I'm so used to this that now having ATC through my speakers merged in with the aircraft sounds is not as good. 2. In config option to have PTT button play sound on press and release (I'm thinking of mic click wav) And finally... I'm a bit unsure about the radio static sound file usage - is this for playing over chatter files? or is this for playing whilst TTS voices are speaking? Or something else? If it is not for playing whilst TTS voices are speaking then I'd love this to be a feature if achievable as it would add greater realism to the ATC transmissions. Thanks

As a feature request, would it be possible to have the recognised voice commands appear below the maim panel, as an optional alternative to the green bar? The reason being is that I find it useful to see commands in the green bar but a bit distracting in the main vc window. Having the option to see them in the main panel allows for undocking and moving to a 2nd monitor.

Same here, no OOMs in P3D. I've seen posts showing memory consumption comparison between UT and Vector - Vector uses more. I was experiencing stuttering in P3D on the odd occasion - after many hours of trial and error found that it was Vector.... as such I've moved away from Vector - at least in Europe and USA where I'm now using UT. Very pleased with it. I've also disabled FTX EU regions. Still using FTX Global textures and OpenLC EU (OpenLC outside of UT coverage). Looks good - exactly how I had it (as per UT documentation 'sandwich method'), however I've now moved OpenLC below UT Veg entry as OpenLC was causing some very obvious texture anomalies (parking lots in the middle of the English countryside).

What I do to keep things simple is to set the TBM value to the same as my locked frame rate value - this way I can forget all about TBM and just tweak TML instead. As per the formula: TextureMaxLoad = max(TextureMaxLoad, TextureMaxLoad*TextureBandwidthMult/LimitedFramerate) example: TML=9, TBM=30, Framerate=30 TextureMaxLoad = max(9, 9*30/30) : resulting TML=9 example: TML=15, TBM=30, Framerate=30 TextureMaxLoad = max(15, 15*30/30) : resulting TML=15 example: TML=15, TBM=33, Framerate=33 TextureMaxLoad = max(15, 15*33/33) : resulting TML=15 As you can see, using this method TML will evaluate to the value it was originally set to regardless of TBM value. This simplifies things as you only have to tweak one value.

Awhile ago I had the same issue as OP at DD's Tallinn (EETN), fixed it by increasing texturemaxload to 30. However SimWing's EGLL still suffers briefly with the loading of textures. I have several large payware airports but only at EGLL am I seeing this. For reference, here's the calculation used in P3D (when frames locked): TextureMaxLoad = max(TextureMaxLoad, TextureMaxLoad*TextureBandwidthMult/LimitedFramerate).

I'm running 30hz too, VSYNC, triple buffering and frames locked at 33 but not having any problems with EZDok (using track-ir). My resolution is 1980x1080 though. Single 970 gpu. Older drivers: 361.43

thanks for your reply Chris... maybe I'll give the berlin demo a try then

Switched to Win10 several months ago - love it! Haven't experienced any problems with P3D or addons or hardware and I have several - saitek stuff, CH, GoFlight, track-ir, TFS3, leap motion, multiple displays. Would highly recommend upgrading.

Hi Chris... I'd like to give NE a try but if the demo is not truly representative of the current evolution of NE then it is not going to be worthwhile for me to install it. Would it be possible to provide a new demo? thanks

Yes Chas, FO working fine. I have FO assigned to a joystick button. When pressed, the red FO box in the voxatc panel turns green and from hereonin will handle all tuning/transmissions.

Hi Mike, as mentioned in my previous post I was able to test removing the AI model this weekend. It successfully stopped the rendering of the AI aircraft but there is still the performance impact on the sim - frame rate will intermittently drop by 5-6 fps causing some stuttering. I will investigate further. Having so much radio traffic was great - as you had said previously Mike - I really had to keep on my toes not to miss a transmission!

funny as I have been thinking along the same lines and are halfway to a solution. What I dislike when I purchase a large payware airport is that it is unrealistically void of all aircraft, but like you, I don't want my sim to suffer in terms of performance by enabling AI. So I've been working on a tool to populate any given airport with static models. The performance of static models versus AI is vast. For example I can go from an empty EGLL Heathrow to full capacity of static models, so every gate/ramp with an aircraft, and there is no impact to fps - not that I am visually aware of anyway. It looks fantastic to see so many aircraft. Here's a top-down view of EGLL (SimWings) almost full, I think I set it to around 80% capacity: http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2016/03/02/egll_80.jpg So then the other half of the story is that the airport now lacks realistic audio i.e. ATC - my intention is to remove all the models from the AI aircraft, theoretically this should prevent them rendering, just haven't got round to trying it yet as I've been focusing on the airport population tool. Hopefully get around to giving it a go this weekend.

no probs.... i feel the same when things don't work. The fact that it works for some points to something else interfering.. windows UAC, antivirus software? tried running VOX and p3D as admin?

was only trying to help with some practical advice

Migration tool (latest version) worked fine for me - no problems with VOX whatsoever... just need to make sure you have it enabled when changing any VOX settings, running the VOX tools etc, as well as for the initial installation.

I agree, this is most helpful - thank you

You may indeed correct me. I have never observed this and always receive vectors - unless I have a STAR (or waypoints of) in my FP. From the manual... "To be assigned a SID or STAR, your flight plan must have some waypoints that correspond with waypoints in the SIDs at your departure airport and/or STARs at your destination. The assigned procedure may vary depending upon the runway in use."
