I seem to get a lot of taxi routes that seem illogical. I tried to paste two P2ATC taxi maps from recent flights out of KSFO to illustrate the problem, but I could not paste into this message? I'll try to describe the routes, Taxing to 01L, It went on A toward the departure end of 01L then across 01L and across 01R then left on L to M then back across 01R to get to 01L. In another one to 01L from a different gate, it went on A toward the departure end of 01L to G then across 01L and across 01R then right on L to M then back across 01R to get to 01L. I t doesn't seem logical to loop around like this and cross multiple runways, when there is a simple direct route to th…

I just downloaded and installed the test version of Pilot2ATC. Watched a couple of videos re: installation and configuration. I think I have it configured correctly but cannot now hear ATC/ATIS. I was able to hear both initially but they are gone now. I am connected to MSFS, the Pwr button is green, the Speech Output Device is set to my speakers which are the Default Playback device in the Windows 11 Sound settings. The box in the lower right corner shows Simulator Connected Recognition Engine Installed Grammars Loaded ATIS Freq: 124.52 (my departure airport - EIDW, also the active freq in Com 1) Clr Del Freq: 121.87 (in Com 1 s…

Everything with P2A 2.6.4.1x64 has been working up until today. I have the configuration set with a hot key for the co-pilot to respond to radio calls. In this way, I can respond when I want, otherwise I press the hot key and have the co-pilot respond. But this feature stopped working today. When I press the hot key I've selected, nothing happens, but if I click the "Say it" button the co-pilot responds as expected. Even setting a joystick button for this feature does not work. I also noticed that if I set the hot key to the letter "a" (for example), that key on the keyboard stops responding in all other applications. If I open Notepad and type any other letter it is disp…

Using Pilot2ATC with chatter and a new unknown icon appears. The icon is a white box with a red X in it. The icon doesnt seem to do anything. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thanks!

Hi, I would like to use Pilot2ATC with X-Life. X-Life populates the airport, but the aircrafts don't appear on the map. I tried both methods (XP-Link and adding AI Aircrafts) without success. It would be nice, if someone could give me a hint how to get this to work. Regards Michael

hi everybody, i have a difference in the live weather. i think i follow the right steps, on p2a config, i choose sim weather, then xp12 path, output, realweather folder. but when i check the live weather txt file there and the p2a wx weather, i have different values. any ideas? how can i be sure the right weather file is being read? or is there an update button? thanks

Somethings I have noticed thru all of the versions in the past including beta. When taxi clearance is given to hold short on multiple runways ATC gives you clearance to cross only the first runway and then when you get to the takeoff runway if gives you clearance to cross that runway instead of holding short for Takeoff clearance. No biggie just thought you should know. Regards

Hi Dave, there is the new version World Traffic 3.5. In this version there are also new features for 3rd party ATC products. World Traffic 3.5 Change List Changes: ATC supports IFR and VFR flight requires that users use valid ATC frequencies with frequencies listed on display has auto-tune option for frequencies user may be required to make speed changes or enter holding patterns to maintain separation gives taxi paths to and from runways has interface for other 3rd party ATC products allows for user-defined VFR airspace exit points so ATC can ve…

A short note to acknowledge something I had previously been unable to do (maybe I didn't do it right before...). I was on a four hour flight and a third of the way through it decided to end it early. I looked for an alternate airport (I was in the south Pacific, so there weren't a ton around), and decided to ask for a Direct To that airport. P2ATC told me my request didn't match my flightplan but then cleared me direct to the airport. A few minutes later it cleared me for an RNAV arrival to the airport, just as I was about to request an arrival after looking at the charts. So, although I don't have a way of declaring an emergency, I was easily able to switch des…

Hello, you made changes in the recent times that greatly reduced the events where the ATC issues an approach (say VOR), but doesn't say which approach (X, Y, Z). I recently encountered an approach where it again displayed that issue. Using Navigraph: landing at VVDN "Expect the VOR approach to runway Three Five Right at DA NANG International" no mention of whether it's the X, Y or Z Thanks!

Hi Dave , not a big issue but some how i don't get the text read back on the bottom right hand of the gui any more so if i missed some thing i can go a read the text etc

Hi, When I select the IFR LO sectionals, I get what appers to be a topographical map with Victor Airways, no intersections or waypoints. How do i obtain the sectionals? Is it even an option? I do have access to VFR charts and the other selections listed in the menu. Great product, with LiveTraffic, ATC-Chatter and Reality XP it is quite an immersive experience.

Get this from time to time when I import a flight plan created with P2A into FSX with aircraft that don't have their own NAVIGRAPH databases. One waypoint will be in the wrong hemisphere causing me to go off the ATC approved track. I can just skip over the waypoint, but sometimes I don't always catch it. If I open up the .pln file, the lat/lon is correct, so it has to be something with FSX when it loads. Anyone else have this happen? And is there a fix (other than just deleting the waypoint)? -Brad...

I purchased Pilot2ATC to use with MSFS a few months ago and have enjoyed using it a lot, it is great software. I fly a lot in Australia, and I am unsure if this is a pilot2atc mistake or my own. The SIDS/STARS in Australia seem to be incorrectly named and have different layouts to those found in the DAP. For example, the GOMOL TWO ALPHA arrival to YBBN (Brisbane) seems non-existent and its closest replacement being one called the CG ONE ALPHA arrival which is very different. Another example is the AVBEG FOUR ALPHA departure at YSCB (Canberra) which is weirdly renamed to the AVBEG ONE departure however its route is generally the same. This same thing can be seen across var…

After not using P2ATC for some time mostly because of the voices issue. I decided to give it another try. After watching this video adding more voices, I cannot be happier (except more voices) I was not really looking forward to editing the registry, but it is easy. Also dropping in the Regions folder from Stick and Rudder into P2ATC adding chatter breaks up the voices as well. Great fun. Adding Free Voices to Pilot2ATC

Happy New Year. I have the latest beta v2.6.4.2.beta 4b installed, and up to the previous 2 versions ATC recognized my voice communication. Since then I have lost the ability to speak to ATC. I have assigned the PTT button to my joystick (I also checked to make sure it was not bound to another function), and have "Require P2A or Sim Focus" checked under the "Btns" tab in the config. I can can get by using the "Say It" button, but it is puzzling how the voice recognition has stopped working. Regards, TS

Upgraded to Windows 11. P2A is working, but I only see 3 voices now in my P2A config/voices/ pick list. Windows 11 is different from 10, as I went through the video and I remember doing the edits in the registry. Now, in Windows 11 those voice names don't show up in the registry. My Windows Time & Language > Speech/ Voices shows 11 names and those test OK. Dave, anyone else reporting this? thanks

Recently, I experience undesired jumps / set backs when wanting to dial in certain frequencies. Lets say I want to dial in 122.80, then when reaching 122.70 or so it suddenly jumps back to 122.10 (for instance) and I have to dial up from that again. This sometimes repeats for several times. What I suspect to be the problem is a strange error I recently I encounter: When P2ATC is connected to the Sim (MSFS2020) via WideFS it does not receive the "empty" frequencies and just displays ".00", regardless of whether it is in STBY (see screenshot 1) or COM1 (see screenshot 2). Only when a frequency is covered, it shows up in the P2ATC panel (see also screenshot 3). It seems that…

Hello there, does anyone here have some experience with Cereproc.com? I have some serious contact problems with them. I tried purchasing several voices for my P2ATC yesterday, but I did not receive any instruction how to access my voices per email ( I got no confirmation except my paypal) and they also simply do not react whatsoever to any inquiry via contact formulars. Any advice would be appreciacted. Thx!

I have added numerous voices and they show up in the windows speech tab. But when I go to select them within pilot to ATC, they are not there. There’s only three David etc. How do I get the other voices to show up within the application.?

I have no idea why but when I have imported a flight from simbrief, connected, flight plan is verified. Then filed. When it connects I here ATIS but when I change to clearance and ask for clearance I press the button to "read" it, I dont use speech. Nothing, its works perfect for months but now nothing. I have the latest beta but nothing I try makes it work. Any ideas?

I am using the same updated navigraph version on both the pilot2atc and pmdg 737. The Sid’s and stars are not matching up with each other. Some are in both and then others not. Kphx has a izzo Sid or something but none in pmdg fms? I deleted fs2crew navigraph and reinstalled but the same thing.

Hi, Installed latest version of software following default prompts. When I try to open any path, for example, path to set flight plans, I can not access C:\x-plane11\Output.. What I get is the Desktop? This is the same in all of the configuration setting. When I uninstalled the program to try a fresh start it must not be doing a complete uninstall as it keeps reloading with my registration information. Thoughts?

Hi all, Been using FS2020 for some time now and am totally fed up with the useless built-in ATC so need a change. I was recommended Pilot2ATC and here I am :0 Having watched many videos, I cannot find an answer to my main question - can you plan a successful flight directly in Pilot2ATC? Most videos show other apps being used like Simbrief etc and then bits being cut-and-pasted into Pilot2ATC - this just seems like a complex workflow and I like to keep things simple as it increases my chances of using/doing them more. I'm just looking for the best/most accurate/simplest workflow for VFR/IFR flights in GA planes. Any help appreciated, thanks

I have been having trouble with changing frequencies. Under COM1, when I put in a frequency, it automatically changes to that airports ground. I have found a fix by changing to COM2 at the start of every flight, but that is annoying and a small bug. Would be nice to find a fix.
