I agree with that Mike. So I tried a flight from an uncontrolled airport. Verified and Filed the flight plan. Once on my way I contacted a controller and received flight plan clearance. Great! Thanks Dave. Regards Rob

Thanks Dave, I'll give that try and report back if there are any problems.

Hi Dave, I don't think this will always work. I know of some airports that only have Unicom and no Departure nearby. YMHU (McArthur River) is one. Regards Rob

By weird things I meant it didn't link the flight path with the transition in the visual display.

​Hi Tom and Helge, I tried this again and did indeed get the error. Then I found even if I assigned KFCM ONL KTOR and then tried to add the approach NDB RW28 with the BFF Transition, it did weird things. Regards Rob

You have a good point Tom. If you are at an uncontrolled airport and want to file an IFR flight plan, there does not seem to be a way to do it. Even if you expand the radius of the "Frequencies" window to maximum, sometimes there is no "Center" to request flight plan clearance. I'm sure this can be addressed with a fix by Dave. I was a long time VoxATC user and IMO P2A V2 offers more. Dave has been very good at replying to bugs which is more than I can say for Tegwyn at VoxATC. Maybe the "announcement" will change my mind but I doubt it.

Hi Tom, I created the same flight plan KFCM to KTOR and added ONL as the only waypoint. It validated and filed fine. Have you got the latest build 2.0.1.3? Regards Rob

Sorry Dave, poor timing on my part. I can't do it for a few days. I am in hospital at the moment. What I can tell you to try is a simple FP in P2A V2 that will not work in P3D (V3.1). P3D will see the plan but when you click "Load", nothing happens. Try this: -Create a direct flight from Eglin AFB to Jacksonville International. P2A creates a mid waypoint. P3D will not load this simple plan. I will email you some plans to compare as soon as I am able. Regards Rob

I've been using FSCommander for some time. All the waypoints, SIDs STAR's and virtual can be saved to a P3D flight plan and opened by P3D. Once opened by P3D it is automatically loaded into my Flight1 G1000 Student Simulator. I can't do this with P2A V2. P3D does not recognise the same flight plan. I would like to see P2A V2 have the same capability. Regards Rob

Thanks for the further info 300hp.GT. I hadn't got that far. Here is the reply I received from Carenado: - "Greetings, The shortcut keys are calling simulator's input and codes, in order to have more realistic systems, avionics and behaviour, we had to overwrite most of those input and codes and they have to be input on the screen. Regards, Carenado" Very disappointing that they removed the ability to use simple keyboard shortcuts. They should either offer a demo so you can test the functionality or at least warn people that you cannot use them. Telling customers on their website there is very little 2d panels does not cover this scenario. That's it for me. I will NEVER purchase nor recommend a Carenado product again.

The Battery Switches shown on the "Lateral Switches" panel will not operate via a keyboard shortcut or externally assigned switch. They will only function when clicked by the mouse. The FSUIPC Console window shows multiple instances of the command sent with random parameters attached when the switch or assigned key is operated. When clicked on by the mouse it shows only the one instance. A keyboard shortcut or externally assigned switch works fine on the Phenom 100.

Sorry, I figured it out. VOXATC only uses Comm 1. (Read the manual more closely!) It would be nice if the program was able to use both Comm radios.

I have installed VOXATC 6.46 into P3d V2.4 and completed the setup and voice training. Everything went well. At random times VOXATC does not seem to recognise radio frequency changes once I have made them as requested by the program. It just sits there with the message to change frequencies even though the correct one is dialled in and that radio selected. Anyone else experienced this and if so is there a fix?
