Pilot2ATC Bug Reporting Forum

The latest beta (7F) is constantly hounding me to adjust course by a significant amount when I am flying perfectly on course.

It seems it's bringing the airline over but using the previous flight callsign. Beta 7E

Hi Dave! This has actually been going on for a year or two and I'm finally bringing it to your attention (obviously it's not that big a deal). My IFR flight is from KRDU to KMYR, I have already gotten clearance from CD and am making the request for taxi. As you can see from the attached log, i make the request for taxi: Recognized Speech: Raleigh Ground Tower Two Two Seven Whiskey Alpha Ready to Taxi 14:13:28 It seems to cut off the rest of my readback because I definitely finish the phrase but the log seems to only show part of my readback: Recognized Speech: Taxi Runway Zero Five Right via Taxiway Juliet Two Juliet Alpha Seven 14:13:48 A…

Hi, I've only had this for five days so I could be doing something wrong. I started my flight at EGCC but when I looked at "frequencies" there was noting for Clearance Delivery, which seemed a bit strange! I tried contacting "Ground" but got no reply then I tried to contact "Tower". I was instructed to contact "Ground" for clearance, which of course got no response. Any advice would be welcome. Glen

It looks as if we have lost the ability to edit names, types and frequencies of the controllers within the "Gate and Taxiway Maintenance" in version 2.7.0.0. Beta6D. ARTCC editing in X-Plane 11 in contrast is now working (as stated by Dave in the Bug Fixes).

Hi, I am running 2.7 beta 6C. I am having the copilot auto respond to ATC. whenever a call starts with the controller name, like "tower..." or "center..." , the program tells me that I did not use a valid callsign. All other calls work fine. This happened when I requested take off via the menus and on every other call the copilot initiated after a hand off. For takeoff, I then tried the midfield request, which didn't start with tower, and it worked. Surprisingly, the log doesn't seem to show this. I didn't take a screenshot because I figured the log would show this happening. I am guessing this is related to the handoff problem that was happe…

I am currently on the trial for this program. I have yet to get through a flight without something going wrong. Mainly, at some point throughout the flight i either stop having atc respond to me or sayit doesn't respond to a message and its dead from there. An example is today, when i had atc fail before takeoff clearance, and right after departure sayit didn't respond to the frequency change message, and after that point nothing happened. Even after i reset the program, refiled the plan 2 times, and swapped frequencies many times. When this program works i enjoy it, but unfortunately that is the exception right now, i would really like some assistance to try and fix this…

Hi Dave, Getting this weird problem for a little while now when importing a simbrief FP. You can see the FP in the first image - It imports fine into LittleNavMap however importing (and then validating) it in Pilot2ATC creates multiple duplicate waypoints which result in "backtrack". I've tried importing with and without procedures but it makes no difference. Its a pain in the butt to go through and remove each waypoint. Any ideas? Log in spoiler.

Hello, so I’m trying to get it setup, but when I press ptt and say a phrase, I get no response. I tried going into the grammar help thing and I tested it and it recognised all my phrases… Not sure what to to tbh

Hi Dave, Is there any way that if 'VRB' or '000/X' is in the Metar, P2ATC can refer to past direction of winds to decide the active runway? For example: WMKK 050330Z VRB07KT 9999 FEW017CB 32/25 Q1014 NOSIG is the current METAR but winds were previously 110/5 meaning that 14L/C/R were the active runways. P2Atc now recommends 32L/C/R be used as I guess it defaults to '000' winds. If the winds then change back once approach has been given, the wrong runway is selected which when flying with AI, makes interesting situations. Thanks

Hi, I've crashed twice at the holding point of KFLL's 10L. Here's the log.

Example: The ATIS Freq. in EDDF are as follows (according to the apt.dat) 118.030 118.730 P2A shows the set to choose 118.025 118.725 wich causes silence on both Regards Ron

Hey Dave, just a quick note that I believe there is a bug in the latest beta when exporting flight plans. When exporting and then later starting MSFS and loading the saved plan, all appears to load ok initially. However, when attempting to change the starting point to say, a gate or ramp rather than a runway, the change won't take. It just keeps it at the runway and won't let the user change to a gate/ramp.

Not sure if i have done something wrong but in the last few flights p2a has changed the pre programed run way while on approach and had me landing with the wind behind the plan p2a is set for noaa and the sim is set to live weather i do have rex weather but have not using it in some time not sure how to upload the log file

Hi Dave, so it seems like P2ATC stopped working with AI ground traffic. it does recognize it on the map (blue symbols), but will not react to it, i.e. it will give me takeoff clearance when one AI aircraft is just lining up in front of me. I have airborne traffic alerts turned off, could this have something to do with it? this is with MSFS and AIG. I've not found any other bug report like that so I guess it's a fault on my side somewhere.

I know this has been mentioned before but this bug is the one thing that is stopping me from investing in this otherwise excellent program. I am on the trial version and am hesitating to buy because almost every time that I reach a hold point before take-off (I fly mainly from EGLL with the ZIBO 737-800), the program DOES NOT transfer over to Tower. My MIC is fine, everything has been OK up until then, I have made input requests etc when I need to and I have received the required responses ( which my co-pilot has handled efficiently...). But then as I follow the correct taxi path and reach the runway, absolute silence. The radio has transferred to the right TWR frequenc…

Hi Dave, Created a FP via SimBrief as per normal and imported it into P2A without issue as per usual. Validated the FP no problem. Connected to MSFS no problem. Changed freq to clrdel no problem. Went to click the file button nothing happens. Clicked again, nothing happens. Requested clearance and told to file a flight plan. Clicked file light plan, nothing happened. Havn't seen this issue before. Logs in the spoiler below because I can't see how to attach actual files here on AVSIM. The FP displayed fine and validated fine in the route window...no idea why it wouldn't file. Spoiler Program StartedPilot2ATC® (P2A) - ver…

Hi there At airport SLTR navigraph subscription in the Milviz 310R. This bug at unusual airports happens so often I have to report it: I get IFR clearance from ground all goes well I taxi to runway as instructed all goes well I ask for and get IFR release from tower all goes well BUG: tower tells me to contact center when airborne while I'm still doing pre-takeoff checks on the ground BUG: tower does not tell me I can depart and doesn't give me current winds BUG: I ask tower anything and tower doesn't respond BUG: If I don't switch to center on the ground, tower keeps telling me to contact center (not airborne yet) …

I ran MakeRwys for all airports longer than 500ft, then import taxiways and gates into 2.7.0.0 Beta1A Update. I then want to plan a flight from LFPS, a tiny grass strip in the French Alps. I can see the airport in the TaxiMnt window: However, when I try to add LFPS to the flight plan, it is apparently not recognized:

I did read about this issue with MSFS scenery but I have this with the Navigraph version of Pilot2Atc in X-Plane - taxiways being given that have incorrect numbers - e.g. in Pilot2Atc at EGSS I am told to use HM where the Navigraph chart shows it as Bravo so it gets a bit confusing. I wondered if being integrated with Navigraph and updating the Airac - should this have given correct taxiways. I know you can correct them in Taxi maint but this will be painful for all the airports I use. So have I missed something - can the Jeppesen taxiways used in Navigraph be imported/used? Sorry if this has been addressed but I couldn't find anything else on this. Thanks…

Hi Dave, My last flight from KIAH to KSFO worked more or less, but there was a period of about 20 minutes half way through where I got constant repeated messages "UNITED Two Three Eight Five Altimeter is Three Zero Zero Six". Controller just kept repeating the altimeter over and over and my poor copilot just keep saying them back. It stopped when we commenced our descent.

Did a couple flights last couple days and when i get to tod atc is not telling me to descend i have to request descent most likely i'm doing something wrong but any help appreciated.

Hi, i have bought several cereproc voices, and try to use them in Pilot2ATC. They are working, but Pilot2ATC dont use the correct voice which is selected in the "Voices" Tab. The "Test" Button to the right plays the correct voice. But in usage it looks like the voice which is selected is somewhat random, often my copilot talks to himself (the copilot voice is only configured once). I have this problem with the lastest stable version, and the latest Beta.

Hi Dave, flying to ENVA I was given the ILS approach to runway 09 on TOD. However, P2ATC itself has runway 27 set as the active runway (checked via "say active runway" and the info button also). The metar points to runway 27, too. ENVA has no preferred runway set for light winds on my side, "force pilot runway" is unchecked, also the weather was all day long set for runway 27 so it's not a sudden weather change. How and why did P2ATC give runway 09 for the approach? I have it set to read the sim runway assignment, but 1) I'm quite sure this doesn't work in MSFS (or at least never did in the previous versions...) and 2) MSFS also had runway 27 set.
