Controller repeating lines they already said
mihalich replied to Chicobello's topic in Pilot2ATC Bug Reporting Forum
Not to hijack this thread, but I had the same exact issue today on approach to KBUF. I will email my log file to you as well. Joe -
Hi Dave, Not a big deal but just wanted to point this out. There is one place where i notice it still saying winds instead of whinds. This occurs when you're on final, but don't tell atc you're on final. At some point, not too far from the runway, atc just tells you cleared to land. In that communication it says winds when it gives you the wind info. I only noticed this cuz i often forget to tell atc i'm on final, lol. Thanks, Joe

Dave, also on this subject, i have a feature request that would be really nice. If the app knows it's going to vector you off the flight plan path, it would be nice it this could be indicated ahead of time somehow so we can adjust our descent profile accordingly. A lot of times, since we don't know if a vector is really going to happen, and then it does and cuts off significant distance, i wind up being way too high at the initial vector point. I was thinking one of two ways would work: 1) Have the approach button show what the currently anticipated vector path will be at least by TOD. I thought i read in a previous beta release notes that the APPR button was supposed to do this now. Maybe i misread it though. 2) Sometime at or shortly after TOD, it could give a verbal indication of the vectors like, "expect vectors at <fix/waypoint>, descend to cross <fix/waypoint> at <required-altitude-at-initial-vector-waypoint>" ...or however it would be done irl. Thanks, Joe

Hey Dave, First I've attached the full log for this issue. This has happened to me more than once, but it's not consistent. Versions of Software: Xplane: XP 11 (11.5 Latest) P2ATC: Latest Beta 8B I was doing a flight in XP-11 from KMCO - KEWR. The flight plan was setup as: FATHE3 VIYAP Q87 JROSS DCT FLO DCT TUBAS DCT FOZZY DCT FAK PHLBO3, with the approach as ILS 22L. At or around MARRT in the STAR, it vectored me off the STAR, which was fine. Given that it gives you the vectors right at the point where you need to turn, it takes like 10-ish seconds to get the flight into HDG mode and the heading modified to turn in the right direction towards the vector path. As such, by the time i got the plane turned and headed towards the path i was a tiny bit beyond the diverging point (initial vector waypoint) off the star. Still all good. It gave me a heading update to get me back to the vector path. However, it did not update the active waypoint to be the next waypoint in the vector. It must have not thought that i passed the initial waypoint. Cuz shortly after i was back on course, it told me to turn in the opposite direction to head back to the initial waypoint of the vector path. In the log, the vectoring starts on line 1484. The sending me in the opposite direction happens at line 1595. Log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xmnZKKmAF0_5sABUbFYA3KTESVFG4XEF/view?usp=sharing Thanks, Joe

Did something change with the speech engine?
mihalich replied to mihalich's topic in Pilot2ATC Users Forum
Oy...lol. Thanks for the info. Joe -
In the latest beta (2e), the text to speech engine is reading things differently than it used to. not a bug, just a little annoying. like when it reads off the wind info on take off, it pronounces "winds" as w-eye-nds. also reads back flight numbers strangely too. Not sure if this changed on 2e specifically. I was a few versions behind before i upgraded. Thanks, Joe

street map not displaying on initial load
mihalich replied to mihalich's topic in Pilot2ATC Users Forum
Yeah, not sure, but it happens every time. not a big deal. also, occasionally i get errors in some of the tiles saying they failed to load. -
Hi, Not sure if you're aware of this or not. When i launch p2atc (latest release or the latest public beta), when the app comes up the first time, the street map view is all blurred out like nothing loaded. The only way to get it to display is to select a different mode like topo or satellite view, then switch back. at that point, it draws correctly. Joe

haha, nice. Joe

OK, thanks for the info. And yeah, i get the issues with the different sims being a problem. That's both the upside and downside with onair.

If you have AH2 for MSFS and X-Plane (2 separate apps), can you use the same company between the two? Joe

Correct procedure for flight plan when letting P2A do star

ok, cool, thanks for the info. Joe -
Correct procedure for flight plan when letting P2A do star
mihalich replied to mihalich's topic in Pilot2ATC Users Forum
ok. when i add the new points to P2A, the green color on the 'file flight plan' button goes away. is that ok, and P2A will continue to use the flight plan i filed but with the amended star/approach? Joe -
Hi, I have a question about the right way to do this in Pilot2Atc. I have the options set to let the app choose the star and approach (also have auto load procedures unchecked). So i set up my departure/destination airport and enter the sid and enroute waypoints, and just put in a destination runway setting, and then file the flight plan. that works fine, and all is well. When i get close to the star general area, it tells me the star and transition, and i put that in the FMC of the plane. At this point though, the Pilot2Atc flight plan doesn't update with the procedure it gave me. And when the plane starts flying the star, the app is telling me i'm off course cuz it only has a direct line from the last waypoint directly to the destination airport...but the plane is flying the star. So my question is, is there a way to get the star and approach to get put into the app flight plan and have it calculate the right TOD all as if it was entered the same way if I was forcing the star and approach? Cuz the other issue is, it stops giving me the correctly actions after that. like it never tells me to descend out of the cruise altitude, etc. Thanks, Joe

Feature/Nuisance fix request for popup windows
mihalich replied to mihalich's topic in Pilot2ATC Users Forum
great thanks. Joe -
Hey Dave, I have a 2 monitor setup. I usually run flight sim on the main monitor, and P2A on the 2nd. That all works fine for the main window. However, when I pull up some modal/modeless dialog windows (specifically: Add Waypoint, Modify Waypoint - the one with the add/remove airways, Load Airway) they always come up on the primary monitor. Even when i move them over to the secondary monitor, the next time i pull them up, they come back up on the primary monitor. The Info and Config Window never do this, they always come up on the monitor where the main frame window is. Sometimes the SID/STAR windows come up on primary, but mostly they come up on the secondary...i don't have a reproducible case for these. But the waypoint ones always exhibit this behavior. It's mostly a pain in MSFS 2020 cuz i can't run in windows mode due to lost fps, and it's nearly impossible to get the waypoint windows to be visible to a point where i can even move them back. Anyway, is it possible to get those (and whatever else you can find) to at minimum come up on the monitor where the main app is? Preferably they would come back up on the last monitor you had them displayed on (even across app shutdown and launches). The main window does this. It always launches to my secondary monitor cuz that's where i had it last (though the startup window that shows loading percentage always comes up on the primary window first, but once that closes the main window comes up on the second monitor correctly). Thanks Joe

ah, ok, cool. Joe

Hi, I turned on live multiplayer traffic (Not AI Traffic) and P2A didn't show anything when i clicked the show in air traffic button. There were some people around me as i saw their labels above their planes in the air. The show ground traffic did show a couple planes at the airport i was at, but I didn't see anyone else at the airport. Not sure where they came from. Not sure if this is expected or not. Joe

Load Flight Plan / Tower Issues
mihalich replied to mihalich's topic in Pilot2ATC Bug Reporting Forum
Ah Yes, i did not make the calls to the tower, probably when i should have. Thanks for the info. Joe -
Hey Dave, I ran into a couple of issues tonight, with MSFS 2020. Not sure if these are specific to MSFS or not, but here they are (I sent an email do the admin email with the exception screenshot and the log file): 1) I completed two flights in MSFS/P2A, both VFR short trips. For the 3rd trip i went to load in a flight plan and it gave me the exception in the screenshot. Of note, when I quit p2a and restarted and loaded the same flight plan it loaded in fine. So must be something related to trying to load after a flight completes. 2) On both VFR flights i did i was talking to the tower and in both cases it told me to expect the correct runway, but after that, never gave me any further instructions like cleared to land or anything. I noticed a couple of errors in the log that might be related. The first flight was KRAL - KLGB, secon flight was KLGB - KSNA. I did the Auto generate plan option and it gave me basic flight plans which i followed. ATC handoffs occurred as expected throughout. Only had the problem when landing at the destination with the tower. I'm using the latest 2.6.1.3, with airac 2008. Thanks, Joe
