Yeah, didn't get any vectors... If it happens again I'll check with the APPR button if that's at least the intention... Thanks! Dirk

In this case nope, cleared for the STAR and approach as filed, no vectoring...

On a flight today P2A gave me a crossing altitude of 'At or Above FL110' for EXCOS, the last waypoint of my STAR which is marked on the chart with 'At or Above 4000' Which makes sense, it's very close to the IAF: https://i.ibb.co/QJtXcjt/Screen-Shot-2022-08-20-at-9-22-22-PM.jpg "At or above FL110" would make the approach (Alt for approach is 3000 ft) simply impossible. Shouldn't P2A take the published min/max altitudes from the chart into account when stating crossing altitudes? Thanks! Dirk

That's awesome Dave! If I may suggest two other enhancements for this (don't want to seem too greedy but maybe it's not a huge effort 🙃) - first one, it looks like the Fav list is actually maintained by controller, so the list always only displays those added phrased that make sense for the current controller (which is great). The only problem is that this list selection does not change dynamically - e.g. I now have the SayIt+ window open permanently on a second monitor, and when I (well the copilot) switch to a different controller the list remains static and will not see those phrases that are only applicable for the new controller. Even closing the Fav list (by clicking on the Fav button) and reopening it does not refresh the list. The only way to refresh it is to actually close the SayIt+ window itself and open it again, which is kind of a pita. So at least a manual refresh on closing/opening the fav list would be nice, and automatic refresh on any controller change would be awesome 😄 Second suggestion - would it be possible to store the window position of SayIt+ across P2A invocations? It already remembers the position after you opened it the first time and leave P2A running, but forgets it again when P2A is closed. Thanks!! Dirk

So I tried the Favorites feature of SayIt Plus (which I haven't really used before) and thought this would be a nice way to quickly pull up phrases, but unfortunately it seems to be equally cumbersome to selecting the phrases in the regular SayIt... Yes you have all the phrases you frequently use in one spot, but it takes three clicks to actually say a phrase - select the phrase, then you have to click on 'Load', and then click on 'Say it'... Would be nice if there was a shortcut, maybe to load and say a phrase by double-clicking. And if there were hotkeys for those in some future version (which would be awesome), then again these hotkeys should trigger both loading and saying of the phrases... Dirk

I would love such a feature too! Having frequent trouble with my voice recognition as well, I find myself using the pre-canned phrases quite often, but using the list box / mouse selection is always cumbersome ... Dirk

Though it seems it's not actually required. I always just 'File' my flight plan and it does both, validate it and file with ATC.

Thank you Marc, really appreciate this! Dirk

I would like to ask the exact same question. I did update the PMDG 737, only to find out that this broke most of the spad.next functionality (which is essential for me), so I reverted back to the previous PMDG version. Is there any way to get and run the previous Aviaserver version (and without auto-updating itself again)? Thanks, Dirk

Though for MSFS it's a hit and miss lately, sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't....

Ah yes, I forgot about this... I saw the same, my SB plan was filed with FL270, and P2A imported as FL290 (which I didn't realize until much later). Regarding the cruise speed, I'm not sure if the Simbrief export even contains that info (and it really depends on which aircraft you are flying), so I assume this will always require a manual input

Ohh... I didn't even try this, duh....! Thanks Dave!!

I believe this has been asked for a number of times before by others as well... Please. I'm begging...😜 Can we get another phrase for 'Request taxi to the gate'? Something like 'taxi to the stand' or similar, something that P2A won't be able to recognize as 'eight'? No matter how often I train the speech recognition for this phrase, I still get 'Taxi to runway eight ...' from P2A at least one out of three times, it's really frustrating... Thanks! Dirk

For what it's worth, I tried this today for the first time too (also didn't know about this functionality), and it didn't work for me either, P2A gave me a different gate than the one I selected...

Just noticed this in the new beta from today... Freaking awesome Dave, thank you for adding this functionality!!! This will make everything so much easier...
