  1. The program doesn't consider cross-runway traffic when giving clearances and can't really determine that Runway 16 should not be used when the main runways 28R/L are in use. For that airport, I would make Rwys 28R/L the preferred runways and set the "light wind" conditions fairly high so runway 16 doesn't get used much. You could also force the departure runway to be the same as the AI Traffic runway to avoid this. P2A doesn't take control of any keys on its own. Check to see if you have the space bar set as a hot key in P2A or another program. Dave
  2. You can purchase Cereproc or IVONA voices, or any other SAPI 5 Desktop voices. Just be sure that they are Desktop and SAPI5 compliant. This thread has all the info you need about voices, including how to install all the Microsoft Windows voices using a single utility program: Amazon discontinued support and availability of their Polly for Windows program, and as many have said, it worked hit and miss. Dave
  3. John. I will look at adding this in a future version. In the meantime, you can just sit on the runway for a few seconds or minutes after you get clearance and takeoff when you are ready. Dave
  4. Try setting the Volume to 100%. Then, if needed, back it off. Dave
  5. Preferred runways might be used when winds are so light. In P2A, you can set the runway you prefer in light wind and set the tailwind/crosswind limits for preferred runways in TaxiMnt. Dave
  6. Stuart, That looks like you have them installed correctly. Where are you flying? What airport are you at when you get Oceania files but expect Asia files? Dave
  7. The problem is you wanted to start your descent before you even got to your cruise altitude. You planned a STAR that began just 22NM from the departure airport. On such a short flight, you would not normally include a STAR. Most STARs also have minimum altitudes or airspeeds. In this case there is a constraint of at or above 8000 at DTY, the first STAR waypoint. In general, especially if you're flying low and slow, make sure you will be able to meet any procedure constraints on altitude and airspeed. Also, if flying GA piston aircraft, you would normally file a route either direct to the destination airport, or possibly some intervening VORs or other Nav Aids. Then an Approach at the destination airport. Dave
  8. Version 2.7.0.1 Released. Downloads (pilot2atc.com) Fixes some bugs in Com frequency selection. Fixes a bug in flight plan printing. Fixes a bug in the program closing warning. Fixes a few other bugs. Dave
  9. The .005 is implied when using 25kHz spacing on frequencies. So 121.125 is the same as 121.12. P2A currently only supports 25kHz spacing, so if a published frequency has 8.33kHz spacing, the database for P2A has rounded that to the nearest 25kHz spacing. For this reason, you should always use the frequencies given by P2A. Dave
  10. Before requesting taxi instructions, ask for a different runway "<CallSign> request departure runway xx". You should then get taxi to that runway. Dave
  11. There is a bug in the Assign Center Controller logic. This will be fixed in the next beta. In the meantime, as a work-around, if you request VFR Flight Following from Tower, while on the ground, or if you File the VFR Flight plan and request VFR Clearance, you will likely avoid the bug as you will then be assigned a controller and get handoffs along the way. Dave
  12. It's a Windows issue, so you might want to search the internet for how to fix hidden windows. But the process outlined above has worked for hundreds of other P2A users. Once you select "Move" from the dropdown menu and press an arrow key, try moving the mouse around a bit and the window might come into view. Dave
  13. Sounds like it's lost on a phantom screen. Here's how to get it back: 1) After clicking the Stby Com Freq, Hover over the P2A icon on the Taskbar. There should be multiple windows and one is the Radio Freq window 2) Hover over that window and a larger thumbnail of the window should show 3) Right-click that larger thumbnail 4) Select Move 5) Hold down the Right Arrow key on the keyboard until the program comes into view 6) If that doesn’t work, hold down the left arrow 7) Once the window is in view, use the mouse to move it to the desired location. 😎 Shut down Pilot2ATC so the location will be remembered. Dave
  14. Version 2.7.0.1 Beta 1 released. Public Betas (pilot2atc.com) Fixes a problem with the printing of flight plans containing airways. Dave
  15. The issue is fixed in 2.7.0.1 Beta 1. It was a problem with the Airway name. Dave
