My P2A TOD and Fenix A320 (MSFS) TOD differ hugely so i want to be able to align them more. So I know that if i alter Plan GS and/or Decent rate values in P2A, i can alter the TOD point on the map, but does anyone know where i can get what that info is from the Fenix MCDU/SimBrief/Navigraph etc etc. At the moment i am willy nilly changing one of both these values to try get the TOD's to match or as close as i can get, But just done a Flight in to Athens on ILS21Y and for the life of me could not get the TOD's to be anywhere near each other. Closest was 56miles. Also after making changes to P2A Plan GS or Decent figures do i have to then re- Validate and re- file my FPLN? Huge thanks for some guidance to this NOOB. LOL!

Hi, I'm a new user to P2ATC on X-Plane 11 so apologies if this has already been answered somewhere. On longer flights I often set a "Pause at TOD" option in the FMC if the aircraft has one, or else I use the excellent AutoPause plugin to pause the sim some distance from TOD so I don't have to sit watching the screen in cruise for 4 hours. How does this fit in with P2ATC and are there any recommendations on how best to configure things to work this way? So far I've just noted the TOD distance in Pilot2ATC and set AutoPause accordingly to give me enough time to prepare for descent. Then I walk away and let the co-pilot handle the comms, However, on a few occasions I've come back and I've been told to descend earlier than I'd expected so my calculations have obviously been off somewhere. Does anyone have any tips for using Pause at TOD options?

I'm probably not the first one to report this, but for some reason my TOD is always off, resulting in the plane going into 6000fpm descent or even more often VNAV kicking off with the Descent path unachievable error on the FMC.No matter what I try it constantly does this, I always set the runway and the correct altitudes for the STAR yet it constantly happens, am I missing something here? I even try starting the descent early but no luck. Is this a bug or is it something I'm forgetting here?ThanksTrystan

ATC will not issue a descent instruction at or near the TOD point. If I don't request an altitude change, I will eventually get one, but way too late and I will arrive 15 - 20 thousand feet too high for the approach. If I request a significant altitude change at TOD, the problem is somewhat minimized but I still end-up too high for the approach. My P2ATC descent rate is 2 000 FPM. I would probably need 15 000 FPM to make the transition at proper altitude. If I ignore ATC and descend anyway, I will fly a nice approach but I get verbal abuse from ATC and my license gets pulled. 😁
