No prob using a TrackClip with the Sennheiser PC8 . ...Lloyd

Using a Sennheiser PC8 for a couple years now with MCE and P2ATC. Great price. No complaints. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-USB-Headset-line/dp/B005HWEZGG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523809870&sr=8-1&keywords=Sennheiser+PC+8+USB+-+Stereo+USB+Headset+for+PC+and+MAC+with+In-line+Volume+and+Mute+Control ...Lloyd

Don' think so...... In your initial reply to this topic you said: Quote: "1. Pilot2ATC is very good for IFR flights, SID/STAR assignment done by the program, and based of weather. Also has an option to monitor and operate the radios during cruise if you want to step away from the PC for a while. But, it does not support VFR flights at all." Based on that , I was simply point out that Pilot2ATC actually does support IFR and VFR. ...Lloyd

Suggest you try the 10 day trial of Pilot2ATC version 2.5. Once you get use to using the proper grammar it works great for IFR and VFR flying (don't know why poster ninerwhiskey9W said it does not work for VFR as that is definitely not the case). Plus it has great support (see Pilot2ATC forum here on AVSIM). ...Lloyd

I followed this guide to set up ActiveSky/ASCA wth ENVDIR/ENVTEX and IMO it looks great. ...Lloyd

Thanks for clearing that up Dave. And its not that it a big deal or anything. If I want to see all waypoints when flight planning I'll simply open LittleNavMap in another window. Thanks again. ....Lloyd

Really enjoying P2ATC (ex P-ATC/X user). Great support too.

I'm finding there is a huge difference between the number of intersections being displayed on P2ATC's map versus what is displayed in Little NavMap or Plan-G or Flight1's GTN750. For example, if I plan a flight from CYYZ to KBUF, there are only a few intersections shown on the P2ATC map compared to the dozens and dozens being shown in Little Navmap even though both programs have been updated to the latest Airac cycle (1803 rev 1). Another strange thing - It seems that while all intersections are not being displayed, they actually do exist in P2ATC's data base. Example - Intersection VIPRI is located on the the Rwy 24 approach to Toronto's Island airport (CYTZ). It shows on Little NavMap but does not show on It does not show on P2ATC's map until I key it into a flight plan. As soon as I do that, there it is on the map. And it is not just happening in one specific area. Its everywhere as far as I can tell. Is anyone else experiencing this? Do I have some map display filter set somewhere in P2ATC that is causing this? Thanks, Lloyd

My install problem has been solved. I opened ticket to which Flight1 responded in short order. Duh! I was trying to do a re-install when in fact its a new purchase to which I could apply a coupon code to obtain the discount. After Jeff at Flight1 set me straight it all went smoothly. ...Lloyd

Same nonsense going on here today with Flight1. Sometimes a Flight1 reinstall works tickety boo. Other times its a nightmare. Last week I updated Flight1's GTN Compete with no problems. Today I log into my account again with no problem but when I try to use the same credentials to reinstall the B200 I'm told: "The info submitted could not be validated because your account login or password is incorrect, or the selected product is not associated with your account. " Meanwhile, I just logged in to My Account successfully and the B200 is in my list of orders! I have my key file but to use it you need to enter the last four digits of the credit card used for the purchase which is not an option because the initial purchase was done with PayPal. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! ...Lloyd

I have three remaining concerns.... Any one know the v4.2 compatibility status of Chaseplane, SpadNext and Pliot2ATC (PATC)? Thanks, Lloyd

Does anyone know if PATC is compatible with P3Dv4.2? Thanks, Lloyd

I haven't had any problems with SpadNext but I did have a problem with my Saitek panels randomly not working . This cured the problem for me: 1 - For all of my connected USB devices, went to Device manager, opened Properties and under Power Management removed any check-marks next to Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. and 2 - Connected all of my Saitek panels to a powered USB hub. ....Lloyd

When looking at Properties for your Prepar3D.exe you wll not see your actual version number unless you open the Details tab. Another way to see your version number is to start P3D, hit Alt, open the Help tab and click About. .Lloyd

As I understand it, the big difference between PTA and ENSHADE is that ENVSHADE modifies the shaders in real time based on time of day, weather, altitude and so on. I have yet to find a PTA preset that fits perfectly with all conditions. ENVSHADE is supposed to fix that.

Tried your suggestion of using 8x supersampling and, while it did improve FPS in clouds, the aircraft AA quality was totally unacceptable. Went back to 4xsparse grid with in-game MSAA at 4 samples which gives me excellent AA quality with an FPS hit in clouds that I don't find to be a huge problem. I am running ASN at the ASN default of 5 cloud layers, however. FWIW - I am running a 6700K@4.7 with a single GTX970. .....Lloyd

Micheal - I tried playing with the situation file but went back to the way it was (with spaces) as leaving the spaces out caused startup errors. As for the *default.fmxl, mine has the underscore. Recent update - Whenever the error occurred, the event viewer showed "Driver ACPI returned invalid ID for child device". To me, that's sounds like a system error. After a bit of googling, I found a site that suggested changing the Windows Driver Foundation Service from Manual to Automatic which I did. Since making the change, I've logged about two hours of sim time and, so far anyway, no errors. Time will tell if it is indeed fixed but I'm optimistic as previously I couldn't get anymore than a few minutes into a flight before the error would occur. Coincidence or not, right now, I'm happy. Will post back if the situation changes. Thanks much, guys. ....Lloyd

Thanks, guys. First of all a quick intro; My name is Lloyd Noel. I've been an avid simmer since way back to the Sub-Logic flight sim days. Over the years I've been active fixing other folks problems on flightsim.com hardware forum. Now I'm the one looking for help and it looks like I've come to the right place. As for gear, I build my own rigs. Currently running an Intel 6700K at 4.7GHz on an ASUS Maximus Hero VIII mobo with 16GB RAM and a GTX970 video card. OS is 64-bit Win7 Pro on a 480GB SSD. P3D is on its own 240GB SSD. I'm using CH Products Pro Pedals, Yoke and Throttle Quad plus Saitek Multi, Radio and Switch panels. To the problem at hand... Micheal - The situation line in my P3D.cfg file points to this file: B58 at KHQM.fxml (my saved default flight). Rob - Thanks for chiming in. System details above and tomorrow when the last of my Christmas guests depart I will get back with Event Viewer errors and/or ContentErrors log. Best rgds, Lloyd

Thanks, Micheal. Checked and found that my Prepar3D_Default.FXMLt file is exactly as you said it should be (including the underscore). I read through the link you posted in your reply but, unless I am missing something, I don't see any reference to the child window creation error. I also searched this forum and came across one of your posts containing a link to a LM forum post about the problem. I had been following that thread on the LM forum when I was attempting to fix the child window error with v3. That thread contained a "work around" which said to disable controllers in P3D and use FSUIPC (registered version) to calibrate the controllers. This is the way I calibrate my controllers anyway but it had no bearing on my child window error. BTW - Not using EMT and have not yet installed my PMDG products This problem is making P3D unusable for me so if you or anyone else can help further it would be greatly appreciated.

Before the v3.1 release I was constantly plagued with "Error Creating Child Window". I was hoping the update would fix this but it has not. Anyone else having the same problem? If so, is there a fix?
