I took a quick look at your log and noticed that you have your FAF Distance (Options #2, Advanced Options, Approach section) set at 1. This is VERY short and will bring you to intercept the final approach course only one mile from the runway. The default value is 7. You may want to try increasing th...

Options #1, Trans Alt & Alt Baro Calls (at bottom), uncheck the small checkbox for each region if you prefer the baro calls in inches

And I would also recommend having a look at Section 20.5 in the User Guide (located in your PF3\Help folder). It has helpful information about flight planning and SID/STAR use in PF3.

After loading a flight plan in PF3, and before connecting to the simulator, click on the "Adjust Altitudes, SIDs, STARs, and Holds" button on the main PF3 screen. This will show the flight plan as loaded into PF3. The waypoints should be the same as those in your imported flight plan, with...

Dave's dedication to customer support is well known to everyone in the flight sim community, and PF3 users include a number of licensed pilots, which says quite a bit about the program. I've enjoyed helping out with testing and support and I do think PF3 will continue to be in demand because not all...

That's a lot of questions but I'll try to answer a few of them at least. 1. No, the commands and voice files are in English. 2. A summary of key commands can be found in the User Guide, p. 142, located in your PF3\Help directory. In PF3 I'd suggest selecting the 'Auto Tune Initial Facility' option (...

Thanks for providing the log. We're going to have to wait for Dave to have a look at this. It doesn't appear that a taxi route was recalculated after the runway change was approved, and the departure clearance really shouldn't be revised unless the runway-specific SID information for the new runway ...

We need to see a debug log from an affected flight. If you don't have a recent log please submit one the next time it happens. If you are flying with SID mode activated there are times when you may need a revised departure clearance after requesting a runway change, because the parameters for the ne...

The ILS or localizer for runway 10 is directional, used for approaches to runway 10. You can lock on to it when you are making an approach to runway 10. As John said there is no ILS for runway 28. You are landing in the opposite direction to the intended use for the ILS for runway 10. When this happ...
