FWIW, @GSalden I do use map enhancement, both with FS2020 and XP. Outside GB, for me, it's almost an necessity in XP. (I layer Orbx's stuff on top of ME in the island of GB - in the scenery order.) I almost always fire up ME when I use FS2020.

Only this bit 🙂

I feel sorry for the Pilot 2 ATC bloke.

Can't beat a bit of Orbx's GB True Earth and XP:

Merely looking at this thread. :-)

That's what I'm using!

FWIW, I bought a new PC about eight or nine months ago, and I was experiencing the same behaviour on the old one.

Nope, no other PMDG aircraft. As I said above, the FlyByWire A320N works fine - and so does every other aircraft. Addon-Linker just creates or doesn't items in the community folder.

I cancelled my Say Intentions contract a few days ago - it's really easy to do - and then reactivated it the next day - which is also really easy to do.

I've just stripped pretty much everything out of the community folder, apart from the aircraft itself, using the Addon Linker - got it back, now! - and doing so made no difference.

Way back when, last year, until I bought a new PC, I used to run FS2020, XP11 and XP12 simultaneously. Keeping all three sims up to date was an effort.

Nah, I trust you :-)

It's KIM-9 that's in the wrong place.

FS2020 update... and... eventually... EGLL DCT ENCOD DCT VEGUS DCT EGNJ/KIM1.I20 is the route. First, here is what FlyByWire's A320N shows: Now, PMDG's version:

Imgur not available in my region (Scunthorpe!): fire up the VPN! :-) VPNs have proper uses! I'll try EGLL ENCOD VEGUS and the NDB Appr. and report back. What specific approach are you flying? The KIM1? Any idea why mine doesn't work?

Shoreham - 'cos I used to live near there. 2008, got even fatter since:

Ignoring descent instructions seems to be defeating the whole object of using ATC.

Edit: for FS2020... I've had PMDG's 737-600 for a couple of years and love the aircraft. However, it has a problem working out what to do with approaches based on an NDB: eg the Humberside KIM 1 onto R20. It miscalculates the outward leg and puts it somewhere 180° in the opposite direction. It's meant to: but does Removing the Navigraph Hub link just results in out of date nav data... Of course, it's easy to manually construct the same approach in the FMS, but that not the point. Every other aircraft I use works out NDB ILS DME approaches correctly. It's not just Humberside. As another example, the PMDG 737-600 gets approaches into Liverpool wrong too. The plane is 100% fine with eg basic ILS approaches; it's the outbound leg from the NDB it gets wrong. Is this a known fault or is it me? FWIW, the Avsim PMDG forums seems a bit moribund, hence my posing here.

It's the continuous tweaking that will drive you mad. (And I'm not even a doctor.)

That's cruel. You send him on an enforced holiday and know he won't be able to find the ILS frequency when he gets there. 😈

A few hours later, nor do I :-)

I am a bush-strip workhorse, simmer! 😁https://youtu.be/FC3y9llDXuM

Not recently, but I used to. I occasionally use Mentour Pilot's or Pilot Debrief's videos for route planning. Thanks to your post, Missionary Bush pilot is back on the list! Regarding Missionary Bush Pilot and his Kodiak aircraft: I have FS2020, and the stock C208 fits the bill well, when emulating his flights. I also have the Black Square Steam Gauge Caravan, and it's this aircraft I use for MBP's bush airport hopping. Quite honestly, a smaller prop would work equally well. Personally, the main problem is finding the destination and working out a vertical route down to it. Scenery wide, I also use FS2020 Map Enhancer.

Ah, a flight sim only fans crossover.

They're great, especially when they zoom up and down the same stretch of road, and pretend they know exactly what they're meant to be doing. That's verisimilitude.
