John, As far as the late descent issue, please take a look through this link for a possible solution: In regards to your other issues, I've noticed similar issues with the way Vox deals with inbound handling. The only thing I can think of is to try using the included "Flight Plan Extras" tool, found in wherever VoxATC installed its base files (by default C:\Program Files\Internal Workings, called FlightPlanExtras.exe). It's an additional step at the beginning, but may solve your issues with STAR routing. I personally don't bother with it too much and fly whatever they assign, even if it conflicts with a STAR but I totally understand the desire to follow procedure. Let us know if that works!

The problem is fixed! Not sure what happened, but a full clean install of P3D, VoxATC and AIG solved it. I'll report back if I find any obvious mistakes that lead to this issue.

Jay, Thanks for the heads-up on this, I've restored the APX. Using your suggested tool, models check out fine. I also used AIFP's built-in model checker to double up, both look clear. I also use FSPXAI models for the 777 family, 787 family, A380, A350, A330 and the CS100. We even match in that accord! Update to all of this: something I did digging around ruined my current install. I can barely load in a flight, Vox is throwing FATAL ERROR when I do, I made a mess. I've been meaning to for quite some time but I'm stripping all my add-ons and sceneries and indeed my full P3D install for a fresh and clean install of 4.5 hotfix 2, now that I'm much better with proper methods of structure and such (add-on.xml, multiple drive add-on storage etc). I AM still working on this, and hopefully with my fiber connection and SSDs this process will only take an evening. I will report back!

Ok, new development. After confirming that stock P3D AI traffic and flight plans work fine with T2G VHHH, I decided to re-enable a bit of AIG traffic. I added ONLY Cathay Pacific, re-indexed and the problem cropped back up, planes land and go all the way to runway end and stop, locking up Vox. Using AI Flight Planner and AIG Manager, I've confirmed all flight plan styles are FSX, no FS9 flight plans are present and it looks like the AIG aircraft seem to be configured fine (as far as wingspan, parking radius, assigned to "GATE" etc). I have no idea what this could be, but I've narrowed it down to AIG traffic and Vox playing nice. It seems that this issue is the same regardless of what aircraft is being used from the AIG catalog.

Sorry for multiple posts, I want to keep record of what happens if others encounter this problem. I wasn't able to fix the issue until I did the following. I went back to the P3D default VHHH, and disabled AIG's traffic (planes and flight plans). After re-enabling stock P3D AI, I re-indexed and stock P3D VHHH and traffic works fine. Aircraft land and exit the runway as intended. I'm going to try re-enabling T2G's VHHH with the enhanced AFCAD provided earlier and I'll check back. edit: Here's a link to a log file for a successful landing and taxi clear: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eVUYYXOmPfyayA5lPmxhtc3H5Ycw1lQp/view?usp=sharing edit 2: Stock P3D AI works with T2G's VHHH no problem!

update: same behavior with the updated AFCAD. I heard tower clear the aircraft to land 07L, but no turn next intersection from the tower. I've included a Google Drive link to the log file for Cathay 469, the landing aircraft: https://drive.google.com/file/d/126JbJBu5NaJ9m8WtPiRuHcWIIrRootnL/view?usp=sharing The only thing I can see is the craft seems to set what I assume is landing speed (141) then simply reports back "Terminator" and stops. edit: I now realize I had disabled the WRONG .bgl for VHHH (OBX78240 instead of APX78240). Fixed my mistake, re-indexing and trying again!

Jay, Thanks for your advice! I too was quite excited to watch traffic after learning AIG's OIC and installing brand new traffic. I even set up a static camera at VHHH with Chaseplane for this exact purpose, and found this problem! I've loaded in the AFCAD you linked, and used Little NavMap to identify the BGLs useed for VHHH. It shows the P3D base 0903/APX78240.bgl (I set to .off for this experiment) and set up the log for VOXATC. I'll report back what happens.

Good evening! I've been racking my brain for the past three days trying to solve an issue with VoxATC and Hong Kong VHHH. I'm running P3D v4.5, VoxATC v7.42 with AIG traffic/flight plans, and Taxi2Gate's VHHH. When starting a fresh session, I'll activate Vox and watch within minutes as an approaching aircraft lands, decels, then runs all the way to the end of the runway and stops on the blast pad. I've tried setting the weather to force landing both ways on 07L/25R to the same effect. Using ADE, I explored T2G's AFCAD. They have it setup to land only on 07L/25R and takeoff 07R/25L. I've checked for bad paths, even reversed the landing pattern to the same effect. I even tried using the P3D default VHHH and the same thing happens on any runway with Vox. I can't figure out what's going on! When the plane gets stuck, Vox locks up. Traffic will still taxi to takeoff but never turn on the runway and go, and no aircraft are generated to approach and land. Vox does NOT display FATAL ERROR however, it just kind of pauses indefinitely. Default P3D AI works fine on both T2G and default VHHH. I'm at wit's end trying to figure this one out, and appreciate any help y'all may have. Note, I've experienced this behavior before at OrbX's Melbourne YMML. Plane lands, stops at runway end and hangs Vox.
