Many thanks. It always adds something extra to the end of some flights.. keeps me on my toes….

Many thanks for the reply . I am using Traffic Global, but not sure if that is influencing things. I actually quite like the fact that there is some extra to focus on at the end of a flight. Keeps the brain cells working. Thanks again for the reply .

I hope someone can help explain something to me that has been on my mind for a while. Why is that when I have a STAR programmed into my FMS and it all looks OK in terms of the flight plan, that ATC takes over on approach and gives me different vectors to line line up with the same runway. Is there a reason why it doesn’t follow the flight plan? One of my settings for example? It’s not a massive issue as I ultimately end up in the same place , but just wondered why this happens . Any advice appreciated. 🙂 Many thanks..

Hi Dave, just an update on my findings. I cranked the aircraft number about as low as I can go without making it zero (about 200 aircraft and no GA), and I still have the link pauses at certain points on the flight after take off. Never an issue on the ground, even at very busy airports like EGLL or EHAM. I have been disabling the link via the plugin in menu and the issue goes away. Just wanted to let you know.

Yeah, I have knocked it back from about 60 to about 40%... will see if that fixes things...

Hi Dave, Been on a couple of flights recently and had no issues with the link, however I am currently flying from EGCC to EGLL (much busier area) and I had the same issue with pauses, and the link was hogging all the resources on the Plugin Performance pie chart again. Switch it off an OK. Just wanted to let you know. All the best, Stuart

Thanks Dave. Is there a way to include Custom User Waypoints? I have a list of oil platforms with custom way points (user_fix.dat file) and I wanted to create a plan that leaves from an airport, flies out to that point then back again. Is there a way for these points to be recognized? Struggling to see if that is possible. They show up in the FMS, but it would be great if I could use ATC to guide me there and back etc

Gone back to that version, and so far so good.

Hi Dave, I forgot to save the P2ATC log ( apologies) but will share the XP one in a wee bit. Many thanks … Could it be connected to XPUIPC? I did update the version I had from the one mentioned in the manual just recently. I have just swapped back to the older version to see if that makes any difference. Will try repeating a flight and let you know if there is any difference. Many thanks.

During my latest flight nearing busy airspace I had the same issue in the plugin performance window. There was no issue when I left a much quieter airport, EGPD, but when I neared the much busier EGCC same thing. This time I disabled the P2AXPlink in the plugin admin, and it immediately fixed the issue. This is the ‘slow’ version as suggested above. At the end of the flight while taxing, the sim crashed. On checking the log file it said the link was the cause . This was new, hadn’t experienced this previously. I have the log if that’s any use.

I have seen exactly the same thing. On the ground just fine, 5 mins in the air stutters and the pie chart shows fully green circle just after a stutter and the P2A link.

That worked!! Many thanks.

Many thanks, will try again. Glad to hear you had some success . Thanks for the info.😎

Just wondering how folks are getting on with the new Navigraph auto updater feature . Tried it today, however I got stuck at the Navigraph log in screen. Basically the P2ATC Utility screen was overlayed on the Navigraph log in screen so I couldn’t do anything. P2ATC then wouldn’t close and had to go to Windows Task menu. I then used the manual update option and that seemed to work as previously. Anyone else been having issues? Thanks

Hello folks, Does XP12 real weather work in V3.0? Apologies, it isn't totally clear to me. In settings under WX I see SIM Weather (Not Available for X-Plane), but the XP Root folder link option is listed. Could someone confirm if this is an option, and if so how to set up? Many thanks..
