Hi There, will there be an P2A Version plan for MSFS 2024? I tried to see if there was another topic about this but couldn't find one.. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

For those of you who have struggled with having your speech recognized, this newest update might make the difference. In previous versions, the default initial speech wait time was very short (half a second) and if you did not begin speaking in that time, the recognizer engine stopped listening. This time can be set by you in the configuration window, but if you left the default, you may have had very poor results in your attempts to be recognized. The default is now 1.5 seconds (30%), so you can press the PTT button and have up to 1.5 seconds to start talking. If you hesitate longer than this, just go to the config window Voice Recognition tab and set the Speech Recognition Initial Silence Timeout to something like 50% and experiment. The default End Silence Timeout is 1.0 seconds. If you tend to hesitate in your radio call, it could cause the recognizer to stop recognizing before you are done speaking. If this happens, set the Speech Recognition End Silence Timeout to a higher percent, say 40% (2 seconds). If you tried the trial before and would like a new go at it, just send me a note ([email protected]) with your hardware ID from the Registration screen and I'll give you another 15 day trial ! Enjoy!

Hi Everyone. I just uploaded the first installment on what I plan to be a series of tutorials that should provide a quick and easy way to get up to speed with Pilot2ATC. We'll be adding to these over time, with lots of screenshots and some tips and tricks of P2A along the way! Many of you have struggled with getting in the air the first time, so this first installment will get you from Clearance Delivery through first contact with Oakland Center in a short IFR flight from San Jose, California to Oakland, California. Probably not a good one for airliners, but grab a good GA plane and take the plunge! You can find it on the Downloads page www.pilot2atc.com/download Just press the View Test Flights button to download the PDF. Enjoy Dave

Hello Everyone. I just uploaded version 1.4 as a preview. I will be making it the standard download as soon as I get the documentation updated. It adds some new functionality, but more importantly, it improves speech recognition accuracy! This should reduce some of the frustration we've all been feeling. Some key features introduced in 1.3.0.2 and 1.4 are: Improved Speech Recognition Fly SID / STAR Option Fly Full Route Option TOD (Top of Descent) Calculations and Controlled Descents Smoother IFR Vectors to Final User Option to Increase / Decrease Standard Pattern Sizes Enhanced Grammar Helper Practice Screen Ability to Add New Controllers to an Airport Download and Enjoy!

Hi All! I just posted a short video of the Pre-Beta Version 2.0 to give you an idea of what it will be. https://youtu.be/LjuEyhwf528 It was a quick and dirty video, but have a look and let us know what you think of the new features and the new look and feel. Thanks, Dave

Hi everyone. I really appreciate all the interest in the V2.0 Beta release. It should be out in a matter of hours, not weeks. Pushing hard to get it ready before the weekend. I opened this thread so we can have a single place to go for questions and information on the status of the V2 Beta. So a few questions that have come up elsewhere are worth mentioning here: 1) The upgrade to V2.0 is Free to existing users 2) The Beta code will only be available initially to current V1 users. This will avoid having the initial environment setup issues, like language pack installation, Windows settings, etc. that could inhibit our ability to do a "laser focused" V2 Beta testing effort. 3) There will be no trial version of V2 until after the Beta is over. 4) V1 will remain available, as it is with a 15 day trial, during the Beta. This will allow interested users a chance to be sure their environment can support Pilot2ATC before making any financial outlays. 5) If you try V1 and get it up and running and then would like to joint the Beta, purchase it and you will be given a free upgrade, following the process yet to be announced. BUT PLEASE BE SURE V1 works and you have it running well in you environment before purchasing it. 6) The process to receive the free upgrade is simple and will involve sending me an email with your V1 License Key and me sending back a V2 License Key. PLEASE DO NOT SEND the emails yet. I will post here the details of the process once the code is available. I have opened a dedicated Sub-Forum for reporting bugs found in V2. This should be used only for reporting bugs. I will be opening a separate thread for comments/feature enhancement requests for V2 after the Beta is available. That thread will be pinned here in the main support forum. So please use this thread for any questions you might have regarding the Beta Program. Thanks again for all the interest, Dave

I am having issues with Pilot2ATC not providing takeoff clearance when I reach the runway that I've been cleared to taxi to. I am using MSFS 2020 with the PMDG 737-800. Everything works fine with respect to clearances up until this point, but when I request departure from the active runway while at the threshold, it will not respond and provide the clearance. It has happened at both CYYC and CYVR for me, so not isolated to a single airport. I have imported all Taxiways and Gates from All Airports using the MakeRunways software. I would appreciate some help solving this, as I'm forced to takeoff without clearance and fly the remainder of my route with Pilot2ATC! Otherwise, great product - I've enjoyed it extensively over the past few years with both X-Plane and now MSFS. Thank you! Derek

When I push the ptt button it takes about 6 seconds before the microphone (or Pilot2ATC) can pick up my voice. The same problem exist when i mouseclick ptt in the grammerhelp training session, so the ptt button on the yoke seems not the cause. When i use the microphone in Windows speech recognition it picks up my voice immediately. Who can help me?
