Hi. I'm having trouble with the Copilot answering every call to atc, I have unchecked the copilot in config but he just keeps answering to atc. Any ideas as to what is wrong. Thanks Alan

As Dave noted in this thread: I am wondering whether it's possible to configure P2A to load the ATC-assigned approaches automagically. The issue is, it's not intuitive (or I'm using it wrong): You load/import a plan with SID/STAR/ETC Validate Takeoff and fly route ATC clears you for a descent that's different than your Validated STAR/Approach from step 2 Confusion begins for me Overriding the approach? Should I just unfile and refile? I already changed the approach and STAR in my aircraft MCDU, why do I have to do it twice? If i dont change the approach in P2A, do I still receive vecto…

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...

Would it be possible to have an in-game panel for p2a like navigraph charts ? I'm running p2a and msfs on the same pc and alt-tabbing to access p2a is not so great . Thanks

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

Hi Dave I have just downloaded the programme and I'm reading through the manual prior to jumping. Re the FSIUPC, I have full version of FSUIPC6 for P3DV5 ... Do I need any other version? i.e. the free version to run P2ATC? Or does my full version cover it? And if so, do I still need to manually start FSUIPC when I want to use P2ATC or will starting the sim automatically start the required functions of FSUIPC? Hope my query makes sense to you Thanks Stephen

Hi there, I purchased a license yesterday after utilizing the trial period and I think your ATC client has a lot going for it. As someone with RW piloting experience who has flown in the US, I wanted to point out a couple of things I've noticed that I was wondering could be addressed in future versions or that there is already a fix to: 1. Tower assigning altitudes and radar contact-In my IFR flying, I never recall having a tower controller assign a higher altitude. You were immediately sent over to departure who provided that higher altitude. Also, on final when checking in with tower they will say radar contact which isn't necessary as a tower doesn't need to ha…

Every time I click the right mouse button the ATC starts to say a sentence and then stops? I dont have any buttons mapped within P2ATC

Is there any prospect of expanding the range of phrases in Pilot2ATC to include some standard british pilot radio telephony phrases such as 'request basic service' , 'request joining instructions', 'turning final runway 21 to land' or the ATC phrase on contact 'pass your message'?

Any chance of getting a feature on the roadmap to have ATC allow for the time it takes for the substantial speed up most planes are going to start doing at 10,000'. Its a very minor thing, but I regularly get told to expedite my climb because my rate of climb drops to near zero for several seconds to a minute or so as the autopilot pitches down a bit to pick up speed once the 250 knot speed restriction is over.

I got everything setup on windows for the voices but when I try to ping it I get: Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://polly.us-east.amazonaws.com/v1/voices" Is there an AWS expert here? Is there a way to download them into the player? There are none there?

Hi all, I have the following problem: I plan a flight from A to B with some waypoints in-between. Then I hit file and an approach is added automatically. So far so good. When flying I have the flightplan without the approach loaded as I never received a clearance. When I get to my last waypoint P2ATC expects to fly the approach even though I never got a clearance. Is the approach part of the filed flightplan and therefore I am expected to start flying it even with no mention of it from ATC? Is there a way to be assigned an approach while in the air so I don't know what I'll get? Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon Dave, I know a few have requested the ability to monitor COM1 and 2 (I believe you said you were going to try and get this incorporated) any ETA? Secondly, I don't know if it's been asked, is it possible to get traffic management ability for applications like AIG?

"License Activation failed: AllreadyActivatedOnAnotherMachine" I can no longer deactivate the Pilot2ATC license on the previous PC because I had a hard drive crash. I no longer have access to the program on the defective PC. I only use the program on one system! How can I reactivate my license on the new system? Please urgently for help. Thanks very much!

I'd like to make Pilot2ATC an integral part of all my IFR flights in MSFS. I have an idea of what I would like to do do, but feel free to share your experience. These are the features that I'm most excited about: *Most of the time, I'll want the co-pilot to handle all ATC related duties. *I'd also like to practice IFR flights where I'm the Pilot communicating directly with ATC. (I never bothered with this because as an experienced CFI, it's one of my fortes.) *I'm tired of the AZURE voices and want more variety. How many P2A voices will I hear on an hour flight? Non robotic please. I love that P2A integrates with ATC Chatter. *I use Simbrief…

Hello! Would it be possible to implement a simbrief integration with P2A? Would be a giant quality of life increase to have the FP Import menu have the ability to inject the current active simbrief OFP for a given simbrief pilotid or username. Not sure if Navigraph/Simbrief charges for such a thing for P2A, but I know it's freely available for me via their api. Along with the route, more things could automatically be entered into P2A: P2A "Callsign" derived from/based on Simbrief <airline> which is equivalent to P2A airline code i believe Flight number for airline using <fltnum> (dropping leading 0's) Stepclimb ALT dat…

This just started a couple of weeks ago. Nearly EVERY airport I get a red "Runway is too" warning in the approach and departure windows. I assume it's "short" and just cut off. In setting I have 5,000 as my minimum and the runways it's showing as too short are over 8000 feet.

Hello, Yesterday after the last flight (everything was fine) I updated P2ATC to 2.6.3. I also have FSUIPC in the newest version 7.3.6 and yet every time I click "connect" in P2ATC I get the message "SIMULATOR DISCONNECTED". I reinstalled FSUIPC but that didn't solve the problem. I don't want to reinstall P2ATC due to Amazon Polly voices where installation is very problematic. Anyone have any idea? Restarting the computer doesn't help either. Thank you and Regards ... Adam

Are any of you here doing a Pre-Departure Clearance in any way? With the new aircraft coming online in MSFS I was curious how one could simulate this with P2A. Thanks.

Hi Capts, I've started using P2ATC 12 days ago and really interesting in it. But, I still have an issue relegated to voice recognition. I've trained window voice recognition also P2ATC. But sometime I said some simple phrase, such as: 'BAV Two Eight Six clear of active' or 'Golf', but P2ATC could not understand what I said. I also trained a specific sentences and voice recognition could recognize what I said, but when PTT, P2ATC did not. For more detail, please take a look from 2:36:12 I've researched and follow some solutions but could not improve. How to improve this? And is there a document about phraseology and responds. Because I don't know w…

I am experiencing a strange issue. Everytime I use the word "Zulu" P2A responds with "Zero" I've done all the speech training I can find. Strange thing is, if I dictate to Microsoft Word, it understands "Zulu" everytime. Seems to be a P2A issue which I find strange. Anyone else experienced something similar? Best regards Rob

In my P3D environment, multiple airports have the same approach frequency, for example: LFXA App 131,30 (LYON) LFLL App 131,30 (LYON) A I didn't find a hint in the cheatsheet, how do I tell approach the airport where I planned to land ? By adding an "at airport <icao>" ? Or (I'm not a real world pilot) as a VFR pilot with a flight plan from LSGK to LFLL, simply omit the call to approach and call the tower ?

I am using the latest beat v2.6.3.2 and it seems when I try to change the Mode from Standby to Active it continues to revert Back to OFF. I had no problems with previous builds. It seems like something got broken in the last version. Regards, Tom

well the title say all, I has a computer melt down and I lost all information how I recover the licence key for Pilot2 ATC

I have installed the Amazon Polly voices on my PC and P2A does recognize them but half the time they don't play while the default Microsoft voice plays and the Amazon Polly voices play perfectly fine through the polly app. How comes they don't work half of the time?
