Hi All, When defining oceanic procedures, I notice that a bunch of the waypoints are listed as XXX. Does this mean that the waypoint was not found in the PF3 database? I'm assuming this would eventually result in issues with handoffs or just not being able to complete the flight with ATC. I'm still ...

Hi Everyone, Now that I am becoming a little more proficient, I just wanted to confirm something. If I opt to fly a STAR (and have correctly enabled STARs in PF3): 1. ATC will not clear me for the descent or to lower altitudes, correct? It is up to me to descend (and follow the procedures) to make s...

Yes! This has been very helpful to me. Thank you all. Unfortunately, haven't had a chance to try another flight. I'm looking forward to eventually understanding as much as possible to start flying more realistic procedures. And long hauls.

Thanks! Yes, I meant mode 3 then. Let me confirm on the next flight that I did that properly. Thanks you for the info about the SIDs. I will try that next time as well. Much appreciated.

YES!!! Success. Thank you for all the help. So did a short one hour flight and everything worked as it seems it should have using all of the recommendations. I was using the PMDG 777 and set VC to mode 2 (handles comm and flies the plane) to be safe, but didn't really see that the copilot was follow...

All good to know. Thank you. (Sorry for the delayed response....work.) So I will not request vectors. When I reach that last way point, just keep flying in that direction until control says something? Should the instructions come almost immediately upon reaching that way point? I find much of the ti...

Hi All, Thank you for the kind replies. Everything that you are saying is making good sense. I don't know if it is necessary at this time to send the log files as I'm pretty sure the program is working as it should. I have been using SimBrief recently to compile my flightplans and I think it has bee...

Hi Friends, From what I am reading, using PF3 is all about your flightplan. (Can't be over emphasized....understood!) That said, I am a novice with the flight planning and it is very complex. Weather, approaches, runways change. And it is made even more complex given the addons used. Is there a way ...
