I noticed today that when PF3 sets the NAV1 automatically for an ILS landing, its sets the runway direction to true rather than taking into account magnetic variation, which was 5 degrees different at EGJJ (263 instead of 268 if I remember rightly). I adjusted it manually. Landing is not my best poi...

I think that Mike, one of our PF3 users, has suggested a method that would accomplish this, or very nearly so. On the PF3 waypoint page you can determine the point at which you want to begin descent and then set all subsequent altitudes to the final desired altitude. You will either be cleared down...

Bingo! Perfect answer as always, Dave, thank you. Now I need to see if I can remember how to fly a DC-3. A pilot I knew 20 years ago told me flying one was no harder than driving a car so I'm in with a chance. :) And I haven't been "inside" (!) but will be absent again at some point in 202...

Greetings! I am preparing to get back into Flight Simulator after an unplanned absence, and some of it seems a bit distant now. One thing I have done in preparation is to attempt to update to the latest Beta of PF3. But what I am finding is that of all of the three Betas available above cause PF3 to...

Thanks, Dave,

Good day, Dave, A curious clearance today, I don't remember this happening before. On a flight from HKMO (3839 ft ASL) I was give clearance to 4000 ft. Being a naughty boy I kept climbing until handed off to Departure who then gave me a suitable altitude to climb to. Otherwise the flight went fine. ...

As for "Holds" you can specify any waypoint to hold at,not necessarily at the last waypoint,so something say about 10-15nm's from airport will be fine. I think Luc may be meaning Hold Short Points whilst taxying out, Dave. I don't know if this is configurable in the settings. Luc - the po...

By the way, did it also cure your slow checklists during taxi?

Yes it did, thanks! Everything seems more perfect than ever.

No apology necessary!
