request for help in creating the procedure I have a request for help in creating a departure procedure for the KJFK airport. Flying on EPWA I use the GREY THREE procedure, which is described: Via RADAR vectors to GREKI direct JUDDS, direct MARTN I am asking for advice on how to set the above proced...

No problem, that's what this forum is for.

You will get a descent instruction.

Shomron, you're really very good in finding all those little imperfections of PF3 quickly. :D However, also this one can easily be handled. As Dan said, you should have waypoints at a distance of around max. 50nm where your estimated TOD is for a better result. You can for example easily insert a us...

I also use the default settings with no issue. Sometimes slightly above glideslope, sometimes slightly below. But never a problem catching the glideslope after being handed off to Tower. How much above glideslope have you been? And why did you have to disconnect the AP? Doesn't it have a V/S setting...

Just for the record: The issue was caused by defining an End of SID waypoint which automatically activates the SID option in PF3, overriding the Randomizer setting. So do not define an End of SID waypoint when using the Randomizer (PF3 will then automatically consider the first waypoint as End of SI...

you are right If i do not select end of SID in waypoint page and SID box is unticked, it gives me vectors for departure and if ticked, then SID. I works well now. Thanks for your help. One more scoring point for PF3. Glad to hear! As I said above. You don't need to define an End of SID. Just leave ...

Then how does STAR works? I also always define beginning of STAR in waypoint along with holding point. Still if STAR box is unchecked I get vectors and if STAR box is Checked then STAR clearance. This gives unpredictability which is like real life situation. So everything works fine with the arriva...

Randomizer is not able to change that the SID checkbox gets irrelevant if you define an End of SID waypoint. So this is the solution. Thanks, Dan!

Just don't define an End of SID waypoint. PF3 will automatically consider your first waypoint as End of SID.

And you did not define a runway specific SID?

I am away from my PC these days so cannot look at the logs. Maybe someone else can take a look? I can't imagine this is caused by the Randomizer because all it does is change the setting in the PF3.ini file. Ashun, did you happen to start a new flight without closing PF3 after your last flight? That...
