  1. Most USB mics work fine. Just be sure it gives a loud and clear sound and works and can be set as the default Windows Audio Input device. I personally have several headsets, both USB and wired via the jack and all work fine. I normally used an inexpensive wired one without any issues. Dave
  2. Rory, You can enable the Copilot to respond to all calls, and for the requests you need to initiate, like request to taxi, you use the Copilot phrases. Also, you can use your voice for any of the calls you might like to try yourself. Watch the quick start videos and you can see this in action. Dave
  3. The screenshot you sent is the initial blue screen where license checking is done. It requires a good internet connection to work. Make sure you have a good internet connection before starting the program. If it hangs, you should be able to close the window using the Windows "X" button in the top right and try starting again. Dave
  4. What version of P2A are you using? Do the words display on the screen but the voice just doesn't sound? If so, it could be an issue with the voice being one of the online voices not loading properly. If you can email the full log file to [email protected], I can have a look. Dave
  5. Traffic Global is another option for traffic. P2A interacts with X-Plane for traffic which will expose the first 64 traffic aircraft generated by either the traffic engine or X-Plane directly. Dave
  6. Glad you're enjoying the trial. Navigraph does not allow display of their charts in desktop programs...only in VR addons. However, P2A natively lets you display and overlay FAA SID, STAR and approach charts. You can also display any PDF charts, but unless they have geo information attached, they cannot be overlayed. One way of getting the PDFs is to print charts to a PDF printer, but of course, this would lack geo referencing. I'm not sure what the traffic engines have to do with the charts, but P2A supports getting traffic from XP whether it is generated by XP or by traffic engines like the ones you mentioned. Dave
  7. The AIRAC cycle being used by P2A after you do the Navigraph Auto Update is shown in the upper left of the P2A main window. P2A will attempt to import the SIMBrief plan, regardless of the AIRAC cycles. Of course, if the data is very different, like a missing procedure, the import may fail. Dave
  8. At very large airports, especially if Memory or CPU resources are limited on the PC, it may take a significant time to calculate the taxi route and seem like the program has stopped running. There could also be an issue with data at some of the airports that could cause this or that could cause a problem calculating the route, again causing the program to stop responding. Use the work-around you found for now and see if the problem continues with the next update, hopefully coming out soon. Dave
  9. Thanks. This should be fixed in the next update, hopefully soon. Dave
  10. In the real world, ATC interactions are based on what your status is, where you are physically and what controller you are talking to. So, for example, if you ask Ground controller for takeoff permission, he will send you to tower, assuming you are near the end of the runway. If you ask tower for takeoff permission but you are located far away from the active runway, he will send you to Ground control to get taxi instructions/permission. The Copilot phrases you can select in P2A are just a subset of the phrases that P2A can understand and react to. They are the more common phrases you would use and are driven, like real world ATC Communications, by the aircraft's state and location and by what controller you are speaking with and other factors. Dave
  11. Make sure the flight plan in SIMBrief is fully Generated by pressing the Generate Flight Plan button in SimBrief after entering the flight information. This function does work in 1.5b Dave
  12. I haven't disappeared. Not sure what's causing this in your environment, but this DataMnt crashing issue has not been reported by others. Hopefully the 1.6 update coming soon will fix it for you. Dave
  13. Working on a fix for this. Should be fixed in 1.6 when it comes out. Dave
  14. Once you get your arrival information call, the assigned STAR and Approach will not change due to wind. You can still ask for vectors to a different runway if you like. Dave
