Hi Dave, Would it be possible to add a bit more variety in the words by the controllers. For example, when contacting center, instead of just saying "radar contact", maybe they could say "identified" or even ask us to squawk ident. Also, in the beta you have added the option to mention the current ATIS letter, but then the controller should also omit any information given in the ATIS. I still get expected runway and the current QNH. Sincerely, Michael Hansen

Hello all. It's not my intention to double post but I can't seem to delete the post I inadvertently posted in the Bug Reporting forum and furthermore I can't seem to delete or even edit it. If a mod would delete that thread since I'm not sure it's even a bug and I should not have posted it there. (Not to mention it's received no replies in three days.) This is all happening in the TBM with the WTG3000 avionics. My problem is after creating a flight plan in Simbrief and using the import cut and paste then adding origin and arrival airports I do indeed get a flight plan generated in P2ATC that matches up with Simbrief. I then export that as .pln and load into MSFS…

I installed P2ATC 2 days ago (the trial version). It worked. Today, on my day 8 of the trial it will not launch. It gives error messages: "Network Error; Unable to connect to the remote server. Check your internet connection and try again" and "Internet Access Problem; Unable to Initiate session with License Server. Please, check your internet connection and security settings to be sure Pilot2ATC has access to the web." My internet and the network are just fine. I did change the wifi adapter yesterday, but it's been working fine and I used P2ATC yesterday after that change.

I have around 15 voices set to random mixture of Microsoft and ivona when I click the test I can hear then voice I have selected have tested them all and they all work Now when In flight and I get handed off to a new controller some times I get a different voice but most of the time I get the same one in the chat box it shows that it should have changed to a different voice any one know why it's not?

In some payware planes, like Aerosoft CRJ, there are complex radio systems modelled, which not update the offset P2ATC uses to determine if COM1 or COM2 is set for transmitting/receiving. Would be great to have the option in P2ATC to assign two buttons: one for COM1 and another for COM2 transmitting/receiving, independently from the sim. This would be especially useful for people with extensive hardware panels, who fly mostly without using the mouse.

Hello! Sorry if this question has already been addressed. I know a lot of people have the issue of wanting to be able to control Pilot2ATC through VR but I have a different VR-related issue. I am wanting to use the Pilot2ATC interface on the 2D monitor to serve as co-pilot while a friend flies the aircraft in MSFS with VR (Reverb G2) on the same PC. Unfortunately when VR is enabled it becomes necessary that the MSFS window is "focused" at all times and thus simultaneous interaction with Pilot2ATC or any other application becomes impossible. Has anyone figured out a way to run VR in MSFS without requiring that windows to have focus at all times preventing interaction …

I have tried everything to uninstalled, both Pilot 2 Atc and Speech Voice pack. I made sure at it was set to US speech and also on the 8.0 set. It just does not work at all. It worked a couple of week ago never did anything I did not change anything but no good. I tried the voice trainer and that works, but Pilot 2 Atc just is not working with speech recognition. I can do the say it button and that works with voices working, but when I speak into the mic it does not work. I am including my log file to might be able to get some help thank you. Sorry for the long file I did not know how to include it as a file. Thank you for any help. LOG FILE REMOVED AS IT IS NOT RELE…

Reluctantly I have disabled Amazon Polly in P2A. It's voices are amazing, but the implementation on the desktop is buggy. In P2A Polly would work for a while, but then it would start acting up. The worst was that it seemed to cause P2A to lock up during flights. If I paused a flight in MSFS by hitting ESC, P2A would free up and start working again, but as soon as I reentered the flight, P2A would freeze up again. Apparently something in Polly caused this behavior, because it didn't happen before I started using Polly, and as soon as I removed the Polly voices from P2A, it stopped happening. Even Polly Player would expose errors in the implementation of the syst…

Dave My machine went kaput on me and I had to rebuild 90% of it which renders my key invalid. Is it possible to get a new activation. Thanks in advance James

Hello, I tried a flight from KJFK to KMIA. ATC was correct from gate to RW. Then, I heard the same controller for 2.5 hours during the climb and cruise phase of the flight. P2A did not change the various CTRL centers. Then I could not connect to KMIA approach control and P2A ask me to change frequency several times before I could get the right controller on final. Did I miss something? Regards

A year ago, it was commonly believed that adding 'ProvideAIData=No' to FSUIPC increased stability of MSFS. Problem is, this prevents P2ATC from seeing AI Traffic. Any MSFS P2ATC users who don have ProvideAIData disabled able to comment on stability now?

P2ATC doesn't really intereact with AI traffic in MSFS but my iunderstanding is that it should alert you to aircraft when taxing, etc. Shouldn't th AI traffic appear on the P2ATC mini map? I can see them on littlenavmap. [EDIT] I have show airborne and show parked traffic ticked.

Hi all. Are there any known problems with Pilot2ATC running on a Windows 11 PC? I've been using P2ATC for about a year. Since I last used it, the PC has been upgraded to W11. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling (even as Run Administrator), but to no avail. When I run P2ATC, and hit Connect, the only message I get is "Simulator Connected". Nothing else. FSUIPC7 is installed and running. I also have the US language pack installed. In the current state, P2ATC doesn't interact with the SIM and the SayIT grammar is not displayed. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I cannot see what! Any help or guidance gratefully accepted. Thanks Dave

Dear friends, I Downloaded the new version of pta. After installation the program comes up with the message, program is installed on a other PC, which is nog the case. How do I solve this problem. Looking forward to your reply. Kind Regards, Ronald Schuuring.

Taking off from YMLT on the Karen sid from runway 32l then the departure in P2A shows a turn to the left ending a few miles to the west of the runway and then straight to Karen intersection. In the WT g1000 the same departure is shown as a right turn and then back over the runway and from the runway straight to the Karen intersection. This results in ATC telling me that I am off course and need to correct. How can the same departure be shown differently in P2A and the GPS, as I believe that they use the same navdata. The sim is updated with latest Navigraph cycle and have used Navigraph FMS app to update P2A to same cycle. Have photos but cannot…

Hi all, I did post this in the Bugs forum but appears that was the wrong place, so I have reposted here. I'm having an issue with the comm window pop out. I need to access this window to se the communications volume but when I click STBY to bring up the window I see it flash on the screen for a split second but then it disappears. I can see it in the windows task bar but clicking it does nothing. I'm using latest public beta 2.6.3.0 Public Beta 2l and the sim in use is X-Plane 11, however it does the same thing in MSFS2020 also. Any Ideas?

Good afternoon Dave, I have P2ATC set to randomize my approaches, but often get VOR or NDB approaches. I get these are valid IFR approaches but am wondering 1) how common are these to get from ATC when ILS and RNAV is available for same runway, 2) Is there a way to randomize but take certain approaches out? When it happens, I usually just look at the available approaches for the assigned runways and then request vectors for RNAV / ILS. Thanks.

Hello folks, In P2ATC flight plan I see TRK and next to it what I assume is the (magnetic?) heading in degrees for that leg of the route. In my aircraft the heading value that is presented on the screen that the aircraft is locked onto is always 2-3 degrees different. Is there a reason they are not the same? Would this also explain why I get route drift over time? I export my P2ATC flight plan to my FMC, so I assumed they would show the same? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks..

While troubleshooting the taxiway issue, I noticed another little issue. The issue is with regard to forcing a specific runway for departure, if no SID is assigned. Steps to produce the issue: Start with a new flight plan. Click Add Wpt. Enter an ICAO for an airport with multiple runways, i.e., KHOU. And press enter. Click Info beside the map to see preferred runways. Click Add Wpt. Enter am ICAO for another airport, i.e., KFTW. Note the given runway under SID and be sure it is one of the preferred runways. (If not, you may need to take steps to set it as the runway.) Click SID. Select a non-preferred runway. …

Yesterday I noted a few anomalies in a taxi route I was given in a couple of airports from P2A. These were the instructions for a route at KHOU: "Kodiak Seven Eight Five Taxi to Runway Two Two Via taxiways Golf, Hotel, Zulu, Alpha, Hold Short Runway Zero Four, and Runway One Three Right, and Runway One Three Right, and Runway Two Two." The route given here, G H Z A, is correct (though A may have become Y now), but the runway crossings are wrong. This route never crosses 04. It does cross the old 17 at this point, but that doesn't appear to be active any more. Also the route crosses 13R only once. The third crossing should be 13L. I looked at the airpo…

Is that approach correct to rwy 05 of LPMA or it will be fixed at the next update, the vector don't guide you in front of runway

1- yesterday I did a A320 flight with vectors to final approach. ATC told me to turn left to 252 so I did, then he kept saying to turn left to 252 over and over and over even though I was already there using A/P. This went on for 15 minutes or so. How could I have stopped this? 2- My path for Navigraph navdata is Pilot2ATC_2020_x64\Data and I have 2201 Rev1 installed on all my addons. Why does navdata not match with my airplane (in this case Aerosoft A320) & PFPX & Aivlasoft EFB data? The STAR in these three was not included in P2A. 3- How can I get ATC to bring me to the same runway P3D AI are using? I was landing 10R they were taking off in …

Any idea if/when we can expect ATC to instruct us to hold? With the hold feature about to be released for the MSFS Flybywire A320 it would be fantastic to have this feature in Pilot2ATC also. Many thanks

Flying this morning to Mecham Field in Fort Worth, I heard ATC say, "Kodiak Seven Eight Five Contact FT WORTH Center on One Three Three Point Three have a good one." "FT" was pronounced "eff tee," instead of "fort." MSFS ATC does this too, but it would be nice if P2A did better and translated "FT" to "fort" for all the centers that have "Fort" in their names, but usually abbreviate. Gil
