FlightSimmer68

Yes the sim was running. I'm on 11.02. Never used beta.

Thanks Dave. That clears things up.

Win10 64 bit. 16BG RAM. Running X-Plane 11, P2A, Firefox. Windows task manager indicates 50% memory used, so I assume plenty left.

Thanks for your reply. Not sure if my explanation was good enough. An example: I create a plan from EGLL to EGPF. Auto plan assigns rwy 27R for take off (I don't choose the rwy, aP2A does). ATIS says 27L. Clearance says 27R. Surely the rwy should be the same? As for SIDs & STARs, so it's up to me to respect altitude restrictions? ATC doesn't hold my hand, as it were?

When I'm setting up a flight I get ATIS as expected. But when I'm given clearance, the info (eg departing runway and altimiter setting) contradicts what ATIS just said. Why? Also, I have altitude restrictions in the P2A generated flight plan, but ATC just ignores them. Again, why?

I was setting up a flight from EGPF to EGLL. I hit 'auto plan' then P2A just vanished.

Thanks.

I was trying a short flight from EGFF to EGLC. The screenshot shows the assigned STAR (in blue). Everything was fine until I reached the BIG VOR when ATC directed me to heading 045 and descend to 6000ft for ILS on rwy 27 (this is the yellow line). At BIG I was 16000ft and couldn't descend in time to land. Why did the ATC cut the STAR like this? Can I stop it happening again?
