Guys, I have this... ‘I don't know if it's a problem or if the programme was designed that way’. In this image, the route forces me to do a traffic pattern in order to land, which would be normal; so pilot2atc gives me instructions to do the pattern. In this other image, since the route is in front of the runway, I should simply land, it would not be necessary to do a pattern, but pilot2atc tells me to do a pattern. I also remember a flight where the airport's AIP said that the traffic pattern was non-standard, and pilot2atc gave me instructions to do the standard pattern. Is there any way to correct this?

I had to quickly replace my old pc. When I try to activate P2A it said already activated on a different machine. What should I do as the old pc is dead?

Hi all, just upgraded to MSFS 2024, so thought I’d do the same with my P2A. Got everything up and running ok but when I try to get IFR clearance all I get is a squawk code no SID routing or initial altitude like I would in V2, also no follow on frequency for next controller and if I try again all I get is good afternoon reply. I have no doubt it’s finger trouble on my part but I’m stumped how to get it working as per V2. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, this is either a Windows 11 problem or something in my P2A Installation is wrong. Any kind if request is only anwered by giving me Squawk code. After doing so, I get only my callsign plus "good morning". See screenshot https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X4I4URKIssLEQ5orhu_iDKCZI9ehplwK/view?usp=drive_link

Hello everyone, I have a question and I will explain it with an example: I want to take a flight, the flight route lasts approximately 8 hours; sitting still for 8 hours is impossible (I have to work). So what I want to do is: - Take off - When I reach cruising altitude, accelerate the SIM, approximately 4 NM from reaching TOD, then return to normal SIM speed. - Land - If I use Pilot2ATC, will it crash when I do this? - Do I need to do anything in Pilot2ATC to make it work the way I want? - Will it work perfectly?

All other aircraft work fine, but not Zibo... (completely fresh Zibo install) This is my Zibo set-up. I get ZERO sound from any frequencies... Windows 11 P2ATC 0.1.5B

Hello. Am receiving the follow CTD error on startup of Pilot2ATC, the main window appears for a few seconds then I receive this. I attempted a full reinstall but get the same error. Application: Pilot2ATC_3.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Hi, I'm just trying out v3, so far setting up is going ok, got navigraph conversion to work, connect to the sim works, even simbrief import was ok. One question/comment about that, MSFS doesn't need any cut and pasting to pull the simbrief plan, why must you? Maybe there's some magic to just pull the current one, that's what everything else does?? But anyway, the real reason for this posting... is there any ready-made database of profiles, it is a nuisance to figure this out, I want 767, 777, MD11 for instance, must I really go hunt for the data for these manually? If so ok, but as a feature request.. this should be made automatic, or as much as is possible. Tha…

version 3.0.0.0_EarlyAccess 0.2.3B When I request an IFR clearance the controller reply with either good day or go ahead. This loop continues. Never had this before. Perhaps a new feature and I fail to do something, but no matter how many times I request the IFR clearance it happens. Fln is validated and filed and plane is powered up and P2ATC is connected. I rolled back to 0.2.23, but still the same issue. I gave up and flew without ATC.

Just started to have problem with Pilot2ATC V3 Using MSFS 2024 When clicking on connect Pilot2ATC freezes and can't click on anything on screen and MSFS 2024, Navigraphs charts, any othet open apps freeze too. I need to use task manager to end Pilot2ATC then MSFS 2024 and other app work again. Please advise

For the last 2 days every time I highlight an airport and hit the Wx button it just says "Not Available." I also tried using the "Sim Weather" option instead of the "NOAA Real Weather" option, but it still just says "Not Available." This happens on both Versions 2 and 3. Has NOAA changed some of their processes again? Whenever I access https://aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/current/metars.cache.xml it says the service is unavailable.

Hi - just a couple of bugs I've noticed so far with the latest version.. 1. Instructions seem to override the previous comm event. For example I have auto reply turned on, so after takeoff we are handed off to departure frequency and the checkin gets cut off as there is another handoff straight away after the check in, so I hear the start of three different instructions and only the last one plays fully. 2. I fly Concorde, and usually I request a FL550 cruise and then set a 6K altitude variance so to allow for Concorde's block altitude clearance between 50000 & 60000 (cruise climb) - but in the planning screen I can select FL490 as the Maximum, and I …

HI, I have been using Pilot2ATC v2 for both msfs2020 and Xplane 12. I must say it is an excellent ATC and flight planning software. I have the VHHH - Hong Kong International Airport (from Taimodels) which has been updated to a 3-runway operation, however in Pilot2atc I can only see 2 runways instead of 3. Wonder if it is possible to update the airport information in pilot2atc. Many thanks.

Hello everyone. I’m currently making a flight plan, imported from SimBrief, both into my MCDU (ToLiss A320neo) and into Pilot2ATC with the A320 aircraft profile. I’m extremely surprised because I’m getting very different T/Ds between the two, with a gap of nearly 100 NM. Could someone please help me by explaining what’s wrong with this data? I should mention that I tried using the winds from SimBrief, then those from X-Plane, and I get the same result in both cases. So the problem doesn’t seem to come from there. Many thanks to anyone who can help me.

I have been using Pilot2ATc v2 happily for years but, all of a sudden, I got this error while trying to launch the program. Help would be much appreciated. KK

Hi ! After I finally succeed in updating pilot2atc, I have a DataMgr.Init Error message each time I launch the program with many lines indicating that something has gone wrong. What should I do now to repaire this issue ? Thanks 🙂

Hello everyone. I’m currently updating my Navigraph data from v2 to v3 via pilot2atc v3 included converter. I find the conversion time surprisingly long, and after searching online I haven’t been able to find out whether this long process is normal or not. My computer has been grinding away for over 20 minutes now… Does anyone know if this is expected? Thanks!

Hi ! would like to know if Navigraph import for V3 is now built-in, or do we still need to use the converter? Thanks in advance.

been a pilot2atc for a decade. couple days ago "push to have co pilot respond stopped working. It works if I have the box checked to respond to every thing . then just before reaching TOD it disconnected. I re connected but it was silent, I Also noted my "TOD was being calculated about 5 miles from destination airport. Flying DC-6 at 17,000 is just not gonna work. Downloaded update 0.2.1 and today co pilot push to reply still does not word (re set with several buttons as well as a keyboard shortcut. And I am constant betel"you are off course" when I am right on the line, to make matters worse it can lag i.e. when requesting take off clearance for up to two minutes, a…

Wiped P2A with REVO for a fresh install, downloaded the base package... At the end of the install I am getting a box that exclaims... "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package" But P2A seems to install ok... and launches

Click on train, and I get a windows radio click box FULL TRAINING "CLR DELIVERY", "GROUND 1", "GROUND 2" etc... callsign text box. I click on TRAIN on Full Training side, and TRAIN on the PERSONAL GRAMMA TRAINING PHRASE and nothing is happening. where are docs for this, cos it don't seem to work... thanks

Iam using Pilot2ATC 3.0.0.0 v.30n together with Windows 11 ; 24H2 , that is the one with Voice Access . Have seen many reports and suggestions about the language trainer issue , there is even a weldone You-Tube video (German). Have done all tips (from Dave and others and have followed the manual) The Fmr Practice Trainer works well. When pushing train a new window pops up , with again options to train . Pushing these train buttons nothing happens , no new (white) screen . One of the few suggestions I can't do is via the Control Panel to the Advanced Speech Options to Microsoft Speech Recognizer 8.0 for Windows, because this option is not mo…

I'm running Pilot2ATC v3 and have encountered persistent issues getting selected approach procedures to load into the flight plan. My workflow involves importing a SimBrief-generated file into X-Plane 12, then importing that plan into Pilot2ATC. The route and runways appear correctly, but after manually selecting an RNAV approach via the Ap-Dep Procedures panel — including selecting a transition and clicking “Load Appr” — no approach waypoints are injected into the flight plan list or shown on the main map. I've double-checked the following: • “Auto Load Recommended Procedures” is enabled in the Flight Plan settings tab • Runways are forced manually for bot…

USB mic I have been using fine for months stopped working in P2A... Works fine in Windows, and works fine in Speech Training, although I cannot hear the REPLAY. When using PTT I always make sure I wait a second to speak and release a second after... but P2A no longer recognising me... 😕

Hi all, Ive been using P2A for a while now and without problems.....except when I want to use PMDG 777 and 747-400. P2A loads up ok and I can load up a flight plan. But, if I load up the aircraft on GPU, for example at EGCC, the active controller box of p2A says _ _ _ _ None 136.975, and the active freq box shows 136.975 with just dashes, while the standby freq shows 121.975 EGCC ATIS. When I click on the active freq box to switch to make the standby freq active, all that happens is both boxes show 136.975 and dashes. there is no communication nor any possible. If I load up the aircraft in default state with engines running, the ATIS is displayed in the active bo…
