Can anyone successfully add a new facility COM frequency (via the Option#2 menu)? Whenever I try (can be any airport - adding a ground and tower frequency, for example), things look OK at first, but PF3 always crashes when I finish and try to connect to the sim. PF3 wants to send a crash report: is ...

Hi. Yes, the ATC voice and the pilot are sometimes exactly the same, to weird effect. It's not that rare either (though 'it happens a lot' was an exaggeration!). It seems to happen to any voice, randomly, so excluding one voice set wouldn't help. I did point this out once before, some time back, and ...

Well everyone loves a nice algorithm, no? :? Not sure if there will be any further updates now (?), but what would be nice is if PF3 would not allow the same voice to be used for the pilot and ATC at any given time. It used to be rare, but it happens a lot now. It's always a bit disconcerting :shock ...

The days of S-Combo seem (and indeed are , in many ways!) very much in the dim distant past: hard to imagine I've been posting here for almost 24 years. PF3 has been going quite some time now itself of course (I almost never fly without it). I had to drop FDC when I moved to X-Plane, but at least ...

... looks like the 'contact centre' issue could be specific to that one frequency, for some reason (?). I only seem to get it with 134.3, as far as I can tell so far.

Hi. Something odd going on. For the past few flights I ignored it, thinking it was just a one-off (then a two-, then three-off) glitch, but apparently not... First thing is that ATC keeps telling me to tune to Centre (134.3), when I am already tuned to it. The instruction is repeated over and over ...

Hi. Just wondering.. is there an existing setting somewhere that would stop ATC from vectoring me onto a different heading after my departure from a non-controlled airport? Once I am under way, I contact the departure frequency given by 'radio' when I first checked in and am given my squawk code. I ...

... for VCR, read VCP!!

Hi. Another little question. Is there any reason why, when I am flying into an airport with no tower or ground frequency, the VCR in Mode 2 never auto-tunes the COM radio to the (approach, is it?) frequency given by PF3/ATC on handoff? I am so used to the VCP taking care of that, when flying into a ...

OK, this is working better than I had hoped. Got my ATC chat (separate programme) and Pushback tug guy to come through the headphones too. Why didn't I do this years ago?? (Rhetorical question guys! )
