I knew the answer at one point - but now I can't find it in the manual or online - how does one set Pilot2ATC so that the chatter plays in random order vs. start from top every time. Thank you! Chuck

I downloaded the trial version of P2ATC 2 days ago and loaded XPUIPC Version 2.0.5.9 64 bit. Now when I run X-plane 11, all the planes have no nosewheel steering capabilities. I have run Better Pushback for several months with no issues, but I thought I read somewhere that the XPUIPC and BPB may not work well together. I went into X-plane 11 setup and set a keyboard command for nosewheel, but that does not appear to work either when P2ATC is connected. Any thoughts on why nosewheel would be disabled when trying to run P2ATC? Thanks

Hello everyone, I am addict to Pilot2ATC that I discover as the best in its category. A question please ? with "? +" we can pass variables in the sentences given to the ATC controllers, for example: "~ AIRFRANS Niner Two request descent to Flight Level Two Two Zero" (manual page 77 and 78). During the approach phase the controller asks very quickly to reduce the speed to 210 Kts (A330 liner). Is there the possibility to ask and / or negotiate with the controllers to keep his speed of approach because I find that sometimes he gave it very early. Best regards.

Hi, I'm using P2A with X-Plane 11, and I'm flying around EGBE (Coventry, UK) doing VFR patterns at the moment, however the airport is missing a lot of radio frequencies meaning I can't practice my comms with ATC at the same time. Is there a way to modify the DB that is used for P2A in order to add frequencies? Alternatively, what does everyone else do for airports that have missing frequencies? I like to fly from EGNX to EGBE and back, but it's not the same without being able to request landings from the airport. Thanks, Connor

Hello, I'm sorry to have new problems: 1 / I can not put myself on the COM1 2 / I have the voices installed and tested (video 0'13), yet when I want to communicate, I have the sentences written but no sound (video 2'40). PS: at first I had the sound, I had to configure by mistake. Thank you in advance for your help. Video demonstration. Config :

Can anyone tell me why when I plan a route in Pilot2atc from kblf to krdu with all the sid/star & approaches and then verify/save/export to x-plane 11, the route altitudes in the cirrus sf50`s G1000 shows different altitudes ?. They are also in white in the G1000 which I understand to be reference only till I click on them and get them to turn blue, the altitudes in p2a are already blue, so why does it not export over exactly. John.

I managed to install Pilot2ATC + Navigraph, I established established Pilot2ATC connection with X-plane. I enter the Pilot2ATC flight plan, validate it and request clearence. A voice repeats to me all the time "..i need yours breaks OFF.", I release the brakes, while the engine is not started, the plane backs up alone until it puts in a position lambda in full middle and there silence over "..i need yours breaks OFF." I do not understand absolutely anything that causes this. Please, if you could help me?

Hi. Just download Pilot2Atc and export flight plan to my pmdg737, but CDU can't read this plan. Can this be related or different to Airac cycles between P2Act Airac cycle1706 and Pmdg CDU Airac cycle 1601? Greg

Hi Dave, For some reason Drzewiecki New York Airports v2 volume 1 (KLGA, KJFK) will not import using taxiway maintenance - error is Unable to import taxiways from XPlane or no taxiways defined. It works fine with their Washington airport and all of my other 3rd party airports just these. Any ideas? Kind Regards, Ted.

Hello everyone, I bought pilot2ATC license yesterday. I installed it by default on C :. Everything worked well. This morning, I uninstalled it from C:\ for reinstalling it on the X-plane disk X:\ ( (same PC) Now, the Pilot2ATC license key not work. What should I do, please?

I note that some flight plans (XP11) have P2AFPL appended to the origin and destination airport (i.e., KMDW KIND P2AFPL.fms) in the file name. I'm just curious what this means? Thanks!

Hi,I have bought Pilot2ATC yesterday，I like it！But I have a problem，I want to make flight plan by auto plan,It generated a straight line,the same problem for other routes I know that this is also true in reality, but it is unlikely.And I want to know why the flight plan cannot export to XP11 FlightFactor 777-300ER FMC(.flp),only show the departure and destination, but can't load routes and waypoints. I have tried it several times, thank you . btw：Such as this screenshot.

OK, I've done the voice training successfully, but I can never get my IFR release from an uncontrolled field. "number one for departure" is always heard as "over One Four Departure" no matter how I say it. "Say It" is non-functional, so what do I do?

Hi Dave- I'd like to match the AIRAC cycle that exists in the Flight1GTN with the same in P2ATC so when I export, I don't keep getting the 'waypoint not found' in the GTN. :>) I see you can download old versions at Navigraph but not certain P2ATC will accept an older version and have it work. Is this possible? Thanks, Mark

Hi all, I have a problem that I don’t seem to be able to solve. i want to complete the voice training to improve recognition but when I go through the steps as described in the manual the Windows speech training window does not open up. I can use P2A speech and apart from a few anomalies (reason for training) in recognition it works fine. I’m sure it’s something that I’ve not done correctly but I just can’t see the error. thanks in advance.

Hi, is it possible to implement a mute button (hot key)?

Hi Dave: I came across the Amazon Polly service that allow you to use Amazon's text to speech engine via their published api . I believe these voices are from their Ivona purchase a year or so back. They have a free tier that allow you to convert up to 5 millions characters per month and $4 month for every million characters after that. This may be a way to add several voices to P2A without the expense of buying voice packs outright. I believe X-plane is also using this system for their upcoming 11.30 update. I am not sure if this is a feature we could add to the P2A wish list but I thought I would throw it out there. Thanks! …

Too much P3D software on my primary PC. Will my license key transfer okay?

After dealing with an unsolvable issue with PMDG 737NGX and FSX:SE that caused a CTD error I have made the change to P3Dv4. Understand this is a challenging endevour for me as I am a better pilot than computer person so I have been holding my breath through the process. P3Dv4 downloaded successfully as did PMDG 737NGX for P3Dv.4 and the upgrade of Active Sky for P3Dv4. So now I'm down to P2A and my question arises out of a lack of complete knowledge of FSUIPC. I currently have version 4 on my computer but I have seen mention of version 5 needed for it to work with P3Dv4. The question is simply what do I do now to make P2A communicate with P3dv4? Thanks in advance. …

Fkying KJFK-LFPG in PMDG 777-300. Flight plan specifies cruise altitude of FL310. After takeoff, I'm cleared in small increments to 17,000, but never told to climb to cruise altitude, even after passing several waypoints with cruise altitudes. No altitude restrictions present. Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

Hi, I have a question related to instrument approaches. I fly the Learjet 25D with the GTN 750. It does ILS but the auto pilot does not have WaaS (LPV) capabilities. I have ATC assigns SIDs, STARs and Approaches. I have Force Pilot Runway Selection unchecked. It seems that pilot2ATC favors RNAV approaches to ILS in the few flights I have done. Since I cannot do WaaS approach I'm wondering what are my options. I want to keep it has realistic as possible. So can I just call Approach and ask for the same runway but with the ILS instead ? I assume that this would be how it is done in real life. What about "Force Pilot Runway Selection" ? Should I leave that unchecked or …

Hi Dave. Sorry if this has been asked before. I searched this forum and didn't find anything relevant. I have attempted to change the star and arrival runway (due to wind change at arrival airport) on a number of flights but the original (FILED) seems to be what P2A uses after I make the changes. Is this possible or do I have to remain with the original star and runway I filed. Thanks.

Hello Dave, Do you think of adding a function to declare an emergency? This would allow us to be able to report to the nearest airport with the STAR procedure and track according to the METAR. This function will allow you to choose several airports according to our type of plane, or automatically the biggest airport. When winds change during the flight, will it be possible to change the STAR approach and the track automatically by PILOT2ATC at least until the TOD or an altitude lower than the TOD chosen by the user? Thank you again for this wonderful software that I use now for a while. Mickael.

I had to reinstall Windows 10 and I am just now able to reinstall pilot2atc. The license key wouldn't work. I bought it on August 5, 2018 and couldn't properly uninstall it. The email is under [email protected].

When I launch the application it loads as it should but then disappears. I'm running a three monitor system, each monitor attached to a 3 port NVIDIA 1050 Ti. I've run the three monitor config in 2 configurations: 1) NVIDIA Surround 2) windows 3 window panels as configured through x-plane; In NVIDIA surround I load the app then I load X Plane. I am able to switch back and forth using the "m" key (is there a config to change this key to hot swap on another key?). Then i am not able to hot swap. The Pilot2atc app will not swap in to overlay x plane. Can't find it anywhere even though task manager shows an instance of it running. Doesn't even show up on Alt-Tab selecto…
