Hello everyone,I posted this on the Its Your Plane forum as well, but figured I'd post it here because I'm not actually sure what the trouble is. If people aren't familiar with IYP, this message may not make much sense. If people haven't heard of it, it is an awesom add-on for fsx:http://www.itsyourplane.comI am having trouble with IYP and radar contact. I am blind,and use iyp with the blind pilots mode. Last night, I flew a flight from Las Angeles to San Francisco. Everything whent fine up until the aproach phase. I followed radar contact's instructions and started down from flight level 350. At 25 miles from the airport, I told my co-pilot to execute the aproach checklist. Once I was down to around 3000, atc told me I was cleared for the ils aproach on runway 28 right. I was to fly a certain heading until established on the localizer. I flew for quite a while and actually passed the airport. Michelle never notified me that the localizer was alive. At one point, I did tell michelle to load the ils aproach freq for runway 28 right.I never received any further instructions from atc as far as being cleared to land. The other interesting thing is that atc appeared to bypass my last waypoint. When I was near the airport, the "get flight data" command was reporting that I was getting farther away from my next waypoint. Does anyone have any ideas about this?This flight plan was built using fsbuild 2.3.I am attaching the flight plan in case anyone has any ideas.Thanks!-- flight plan below --<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?><SimBase.Document Type="AceXML" version="1,0"> <Descr>AceXML Document</Descr> <FlightPlan.FlightPlan> <Title>KLAX to KSFO</Title> <FPType>IFR</FPType> <RouteType>HighAlt</RouteType> <CruisingAlt>35000</CruisingAlt> <DepartureID>KLAX</DepartureID> <DepartureLLA>N33° 56' 33.00" , W118° 24' 29.00",</DepartureLLA> <DestinationID>KSFO</DestinationID> <DestinationLLA>N37° 37' 08.00" , W122° 22' 29.00",</DestinationLLA> <Descr>KLAX, KSFO</Descr> <DeparturePosition>25R</DeparturePosition> <DepartureName>LOS_ANGELES_INTL</DepartureName> <DestinationName>SAN_FRANCISCO_INTL</DestinationName> <AppVersion> <AppVersionMajor>10</AppVersionMajor> <AppVersionBuild>60905</AppVersionBuild> </AppVersion> <ATCWaypoint id="KLAX"> <ATCWaypointType>Airport</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N33° 56' 33.00",W118° 24' 29.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>KLAX</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="VTU"> <ATCWaypointType>VOR</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N34° 06' 54.00",W119° 02' 58.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>VTU</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="RZS"> <ATCWaypointType>VOR</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N34° 30' 34.00",W119° 46' 15.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>RZS</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="PEGRS"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N35° 18' 46.00",W120° 39' 23.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>PEGRS</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="ZONAL"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N35° 28' 08.00",W120° 49' 53.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>ZONAL</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="BSR"> <ATCWaypointType>VOR</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N36° 10' 52.00",W121° 38' 31.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>BSR</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="CARME"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N36° 27' 18.00",W121° 52' 46.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>CARME</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="ANJEE"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N36° 44' 46.00",W121° 57' 53.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>ANJEE</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="SKUNK"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N37° 00' 27.00",W122° 01' 59.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>SKUNK</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="BOLDR"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N37° 10' 15.00",W122° 04' 34.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>BOLDR</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="MENLO"> <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N37° 27' 49.00",W122° 09' 13.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>MENLO</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> <ATCWaypoint id="KSFO"> <ATCWaypointType>Airport</ATCWaypointType> <WorldPosition>N37° 37' 08.00",W122° 22' 29.00",</WorldPosition> <ICAO> <ICAOIdent>KSFO</ICAOIdent> </ICAO> </ATCWaypoint> </FlightPlan.FlightPlan></SimBase.Document>

Hello everyone,I am trying to set up squawkbox for use with fsx. I am blind, and will be using the Its Your Plane add-on to control the simulator. My questions is: Is there a hotkey in squawkbox to open the menu to connect, file a flightplan, etc. There is a button on the screen that I can locate with one particular screen reading program, but my main screen reader doesn't see it. I can work around this if I need to, but would love if there was a hotkey I could use. I am guessing that the easiest setup will be for me to run squawkbox in stand-alone mode, not as a module. Any hlp would be appreciated.
