Very often I get this silly ... descent to one thousand feet... on initial approach, any way it can be fixed. Unless there is some settings I have set wrong. In addition would it be possible to somehow show the text in for of numbers and single letters preferably capital letter when taxi instructions are issued? Instead "Climb to flight level three zero zero" just have it write "Climb to flight level 300" same for taxi instead of it saying taxi via alpha bravo etc... just have it simply use caps and "Taxi via A, B, B2, J hold short of runway 22L" would make it all so much more pleasant to read and interact with. https://ibb.co/J3vNX7G https://ibb.co/khYBMb…

After the problems we've had with our previous ISP, we have created a new website. p2atc.com For now, you should be able to access it using just p2atc.com or the old address pilot2atc.com. Because the old address goes through our previous ISP, it will give you the "Unsafe" warning, but if you override that and continue to the site, you should be redirected to p2atc.com. Dave

Our ISP is doing server maintenance today (Nov 2, 2021) through tomorrow (Nov 3, 2021). I apologize for any inconvenience this will cause. Thanks for your patience. Dave

It would be great to be able to talk to P2TAC ground controllers to engage pushback start/stop/left/right in MFS2020. I fly in VR, using P2ATC to communicate with ATC verbally (P2ATC app stays in the backgorund). Invoking MFS2020 ATC control window is an immersion killer in VR. Question to the the users: Any ideas to control pushback in VR without invoking MFS2020 ATC window?

A little help pleaSe What iS the Correct Phraeology for reporting a MISSED approach to Tower? Hari

In config TAB ---flt Pln , if i enable the options of "randomize SIDS and STARs and randomize Approach types", it means that teh ATC can change during the fly the initial approx and STAR he give us? thanks

Hello I remember that when the MSFS is released in august 2020 the P2A doesn't support the marshaller when taxiing to the gate/parking spot, but now after more than a year passed from the MSFS released is the P2A support the marshaller and other ground services ? thanks

How would I request amended clearance ? p2a tells me I need to "call for amended clearance" .- Thanks

If/when I use the Taxi Mnt page to import the taxi and gate information from my Flight sim (XP11 in this case), what is the trigger to get P2ATC to reload and use it short of restarting the program? Do I have connect/disconnect, file new flight plan, etc....

Dear P2A-community I've been a big fan of P2A for a long time. I am also amazed that with such a complex program you rarely have to call in support. And when you need this support, it's really Speedy Gonzales. I believe that Dave "accompanies" us day and night. And now to my suggestion: In the written reproduction of the ATC announcements, numbers are written in words. For users whose native language is not English, this is a disadvantage in my opinion. To be able to read numbers as numbers and not in words can be grasped much faster. Hence my question: Would it be conceivable that this would be changed, or that one could choose between the two variants…

Hi, After upgrading one of my airports with scenery data, I am suddenly getting an "Unable to connect to remote server" error and it asks me to check my internet. Since I am writing this, my internet is just fine. Cheers, Michael

Hello Dave, I ran into a problem today when flying to LIMC, P2A never cleared me for approach - I just received a (late) handoff to Tower, at a point where I was way above the GS. Not sure how to attach a file here in the forum, but here's the log https://1drv.ms/u/s!ApS62eJNRiMxgdpIBjEQCDbHmNz5NQ?e=ylhCkR Any ideas?

Hi. I have a strange problem. Yesterday, Pilot2ATC worked fine. Today It won't start... I got an error saying: "Multiple Instances of Pilot2ATC Error Another instance of Pilot2ATC alredy running. Shut it down before attempting to open a new instance" I'm not able to find this other instance running in my task mangaer... Have restarted my computer several times with no luck... I also shut down my computer every night. My version of the app is v2.6.2.0_x64 - can anybody help? I also am sure that there is no way I start the program two times (in terms of double clicking), because I allways start the app as an Administrator, with a right click

Hi, After purchasing an amazing 5900x, Pilot2ATC has stopped working - it found the hw difference and couldn't validate my registration key anymore. I've sent an email to [email protected], is this the correct process? How long does it usually take Dave to respond? Thanks Marco

I have previously imported taxiways for use in MSFS and the Pilot2ATC worked perfectly. However I recently installed Real Taxiways USA - Class B, C, D & Non-towered Airports which improves the accuracy of the many airport taxiways in the US. When I tried to update the taxiways in Pilot2ATC the program seizes up and then eventually comes back with a very long error message which starts with "Error deleting old data. Import aborted" followed by various lines about Sql clients I don't understand. Is there something I am doing wrong? How I do I fix this? Thanks Dave

Hi David, I bought myself 3 Cereproc and 1 Ivona voice (I think I'm addicted) But I've noticed that some of the phonetic alphabet is messed up and sounds very strange. Have you used some special spellings to improve on the old way speech used to be with TTS perhaps? The reason I ask is that I've now tested the full phonetic alphabet on all on my voices outside of Pilot2ATC and it's all pronounced correctly. Is there any way we as the user can edit these pronunciations? Thanks.

I do have force pilot runway selection enabled in settings, but ATC is refusing to give me the runway I've requested. It just repeats the one it wants me to use rather than what I am requesting. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Pilot2ATC is giving me a problem at FSStudio CYVR 1.11. Having seleted 08R as departure runway, P2ATC taxi direction direct me to D7 for departure. This is at the east end of the runway. It should direct me to L, L2 or L4 for departure. When I try to take off at any of the L departure points, P2ATC does not change to tower, and when I attempt to request TO clearance from tower, it switches me back to ground. I have the most recent Navigraph, have run makerwys and have imported taxiways and gates. All of my software is most recent. I can provide the .txl file for CYVR.

P2ATC hangs up whenever I try using the direct to feature in the flight plan. The P2ATC interface freezes but the moving map and dialogue continue. Is this a known issue?

I use SimtookitPro and SAM3 which can directly imports file from Simbrief. I would love to have that convenience to download active flight from Simbrief. Right now I am using Simbrief downloader to download the "FMS file" and importing it in P2A and this works however would love to reduce these steps.

For time to time (2.6.2.4_x64_beta2a), when I change freq in the sim, the freq is also changing in the P2ATC (numerals below COM1), but P2ATC seems to be not aware of the change - it still displays "Assigned Freq" instead of recoginzing it. I must click on the freq in the P2ATC, only then it recognizes the freq, displays the proper frequency name and allows itnteraction with the controller.

Since I use VR is there a way to see the pilot2atc interface thru oculus headset ? The only way I need it is for taxi

There is a powerful tool allowing assigning buttons/knobs/axes to joysticks, MIDI devices (e.g. Behringer x-Touch Mini), Knobster and even voice commands. For those of you who need more voices in P2ATC it allows converting WinRT voices (not accessible to P2ATC) to SAPI voices (accesible to P2ATC) by automating the required registry editing. It's quite useful, as sometimes Windows update removes the registry edits, forcing you to do the editing again. Axis and Ohs automates this. It's not free but wery powerful, check it out: https://axisandohs.weebly.com/ This tool is especialy useful for cockpit/panel builders, kind of FSUIPC on steroids. There is ple…

When I change COM1 to COM2 and back in MFS2020 C172 classic on the audio panel: on screen by mouse by the joy button assigned in the sim by the joy button assigned in the FSUIPC by the joy button assigned in Axis and Ohs) - command: COM1 transmit select or COM2 transmit select P2ATC doesn't recognize it. The same happens in Just Fligth Piper Archer. So I can't listen to ATIS provided by P2ATC using COM2 radio, by operating the radio in the sim, I must use P2ATC interface. This is inconvenient as I fly in VR and use H/W panel, without touching a mouse or keyboard. Also after initally connecting P2ATC displays just "COM" not "COM1" or "…

Hi Recently It seems that, once pasted and imported a Flight Plan from seembrief, is not possible to open the window to assign the appropriate rwy and SID, however is no problem to do the same with the STAR and arrival. Any idea about it? Thanks in advance Regards
