OnCourse Software

Hi Dave, appears that this has been a slow recovery period for you, but we all hope your well soon! If you have a chance please look at this feature request and comment on it.

Hi Dan, You nailed it. That is exactly what I'm looking for. Yes, that's the way it works. Your pilot voice requests to amend your flight plan, but at present you cannot select the airport. It would be great if you could be presented with a series of, say, the five closest airports, and select the o...

Yeah the boss will figure this out. You said you tried FSS. When you hit hotkey 8 did you YOURSELF request an airport or did ATC just give you one? My experience has been when I hit the key it is my voice telling ATC where I am going, regardless of what I really want. And, even then I cannot tune to...

Hi Dan, I rebuilt the db as you suggested and flew several VFR and Free Flights w/o success. FSS "8" still has me choosing an airport (last flight had me tell ATC to ammen my plan to land at airport "8FD2" which as best I can tell does not exist, according to airnav.com and does ...

Dan, Did a second flight KORL to KTLH. Same result. But i noticed (after crossing my second way point) that when I hit "8" I amended the flight and I requested to land at 6FL8. ATC confirmed. Problem is that 6FL8 is 34 miles away, a private airstrip, uncontrolled and requires permission to...

Hi Dan, Got some interesting results using the first scenario. Flight is from KORL to KLFF, with several waypoints. After crossing first waypoint at KMLB, I contacted radar using FSS and using (8) requested land at next available airport. Directed to FL95, which is past the actual nearest airport X2...

i Dan, I am still working on these options but having a problem with PF3 displayer. Dave is working on that. Will get back to you, thanks

Thank you, Dan/Dave, duly noted re: FSS. However, I don't think it addresses the Feature Request, which is basically Can I or can't I contact an airport other than the Departure and Arrival airports using PF3 ATC. Previous log submitted should indicate I tried contacting KISM and KLAL in order to do...

As usual confusion reigns (for me)
Last contact is with Departure and the hotkeys listed are 0 initial check-in 1 Start approach handoff 9 report position.
Works fine as I approach arriving airport, but other than enroute coms, nothing from PF3 ATC. What am I missing here?

For real Dave, 8 days/6 islands + an on-board booze pkg. Good times with the wife! Now back to plane fun. I usually do Free Flight. Attached log should show me trying to contact KISM enroute to KTPA, on frequency 124.45 (Tower). I tune the com and hit "0" for initial contact. Get the hotke...
