Thanks. Will do. Alan

When flying out of uncontrolled airports I always call from the ramp for IFR clearance and am given an initial altitude with the clearance, for example 4000 ft. I'm also instructed to call at the runway for IFR release. Upon reaching the runway and calling for the IFR release I'm ALWAYS instructed to climb and maintain 2000 ft. Why 2000 when I've already been cleared to 4000 ft?

Thanks, Dave, for the quick response. That will solve all problems, except when I get careless and plan for east when I'm going west; I've done it before. Loving the program. Alan

My understanding is that in the USA altitudes are assigned at or above FL 410 as: Track 000-179 degrees FL 410, 450, 490, etc; Track 180-359 degrees FL 430, 470, 510, etc. P2A evidently does not follow this convention. For example, tried this morning to enter FL 430 for a flight heading west; the flight plan wouldn't take it, P2A changed it to FL 440. Alan

Thank you, Ray. Wilco.

Hi, I reinstalled RC4 on a new computer, sent the key request email from the install program, over 24 hours now and have not received a new key. Someone please help! Alan

Looks like you've nailed it. I've had time for only one test, but using the hotspot area worked perfectly. The Saitek eventually works, but not at the beginning of the takeoff roll. I'll probably forget about the Saitek button and just use the hotspot. Thanks for the help. Alan

I have a button on my Saitek throttle. It must be set up properly because TOGA eventually appears on the display. Alan

Did a search on my problem but didn't find anything, so apologize if this has already been dealt with. My problem is that on takeoff I have to press the TOGA button several times before anything happens. I have both FDs on, AT armed, and engines spooled up to 40%, then I press TOGA, and nothing happens. I press several more times, still nothing. Finally, just a few seconds before reaching V1, I press it and it takes. Everything seems normal from there. So, what am I doing wrong? Alan

Jay, thanks for the tip. And Agutz, in my too flippant response yesterday I forgot to thank you for you input. All help is always appreciated. Alan

Apparently no one else does either. Does the developer follow this forum? Alan

I am using Navigraph 1309, the latest one. Alan

Tonight I was flying from KTRI to KOSU. Nearing KOSU I was cleared for the NDB 27 approach. AIrnav.com shows no approach chart for a NDB 27 approach. What gives? Alan

How about VoxATC? I was waiting to hear something re RC5, but... The silence from JD is deafening -- afraid we're going to have to move on. Alan

Back from vacation, and have flown the Q400 two more times. Neither time did the fuel problem rear its ugly head. Crosswind, I wish you luck finding this elusive bug. Alan
