Jason, I don't have P3D so I don't know if it's compatible or not. However, since it's a relatively simple airport that was developed using fairly ubiquitous scenery design tools (GMax, ModelConverterX, SBuilderX, ADE, etc.), I don't see why there should be any problems using it in P3D. Hornit: I don't have FS9 on my system (and haven't for a long time), so it's unlikely that a dedicated FS9 version will ever be made. However, if loading an FSX scenery into FS9 doesn't work (I've only loaded FS9 sceneries into FSX, and not vice versa), you may want to take a look at using ModelConverterX and Airport Design Editor (both freeware utilities - links below) to help make it compatible. ModelConverterX should allow you to convert FSX .bgl files into FS9 .bgl files (and all the buildings in this scenery are individual .bgl files). If that's not enough, you may need ADE to compilie the airport it with the converted .bgl files. As far as the photoscenery is concerned, I have no idea how it will show (if at all) in FS9.

Thanks! This project was a real labor of love for me... I started it back in December 2012 (right when I began flying lessons), put it aside for couple of years, and finally got around to finishing it up in these last couple of months. I'm actually surprised there haven't been any renditions of this airport to date (not even by Art Poole, who has done numerous airports around FL) , but I suppose that's a good thing, since otherwise I may have never attempted this project to begin with. As as aside, here's a circuit of TPF I did a couple of years ago (and uploaded by my instructor to youtube). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNRBJpU9S9g - Jeff

Hi all! Don't know if there are any Florida simmers, here, but I wanted to point out the release of my Peter O Knight scenery for FSX. This is my home airport (where I did my flight training IRL), and also one that has seemed to been overlooked in the flight sim world. All building are custom models, and photo scenery for the airport has been included (including night scenery). Available now in Avsim's library... Enjoy, Jeff

All,I recently purchased the boxed version of VoxATC v.6, and on my maiden flight, have run into a frustrating problem I was hoping someone could help me with.Using FSX's default flight planner, I set up a short VFR flight from Tampa's Peter O Knight (KTPF) to Orlando Executive (KORL).Shortly after taking off, I announce I'm leaving the vicinity of Knight and (per VoxATC's instruction) tune Tampa approach on 118.15 in order to request flight following (screenshot 1).Upon making contact with Tampa approach, I announce my position and altitude (screenshot 2). ATC gives me the current altimeter reading, and then says "unable at this time" (presumably to my traffic advisory request); I do not receive a squawk code as I was expecting.Still I continue on to see what will happen, and up until the time I'm about 20 miles from KORL, only receive two traffic call outs and nothing more.When I get to about 20 miles from KORL, I'm told by Tampa approach to contact Jacksonville center on 133.32. I acknowledge the hand off and tune to 133.32 (screenshot 3), but from this point out, until the time I land (screenshot 4), VoxATC's dialogue box tells me to tune to 118.15 (even though I was handed off to Jacksonville approach).At no time was I ever asked to contact Orlando approach, Executive's tower or anything else.After attempting this particular flight several times (always with the same results), I attempted another VFR flight (this time from Knight - KTPF to Kissimmee Gateway - KISM), curious to see if I'd have the same results as my KTPF-KORL flight; unfortunately I did. After making contact with Tampa approach to request flight following (this after announcing on Knight's unicom that I was leaving the area, just as I did with my KTPF-KORL flight), I only received a altimeter setting, followed up with an "unable at this time" response. I wasn't given any furter instructions/handoffs/etc. after that, even when I was only several miles from KISM. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially as the deciding factor for me in purchasing VoxATC over its competition was the ability to use it for both VFR and IFR flights.On an unrelated note, is there a way to request an airspace transition shortly after takeoff when the departure airport is within the Class B airspace of another airport so I can climb to my cruising altitude without having to stay below the Bravo's airspace ceiling (and is this something real life pilots have to do before continuing their ascent when flying VFR below Bravo airspace)?Thanks,Jeff
