Vololiberista, you're a real gem, you make me laugh
Everything is
always the fault of the end user.. It's such a mantra with you I don't take too much notice any more. I know you're trying to help but:
First, I
really shouldn't need to be making waypoint adjustments to every flight plan I load, plans moreover that work just fine in the default FS9 ATC (I've tested them)... but OK, 15000' or 12000' at that waypoint.. either would be OK, why quibble over 3000'?
here PF3 is expected to descend you to 15,000 by RESMA
So why doesn't it then?? That's the problem, not whether it's 12000 or 15000. 15000' would be perfectly OK. How come in your reply you don't take on board the fact that with PF3
I am still at 34000' at that point? How is tweaking the PF3 numbers by a 1000 or two going to change that? And I am not the only one by any means reporting this, am I (this isn't even my original thread)?
No, the traffic blockage is doubtless not a PF3 issue per se, but someone might have a helpful suggestion. As I say, the AFCAD has no errors and I could see there were plenty of free parking spaces of the right size for the a/c queueing up. But why were they stopping on the taxiway like that?
I set traffic between 25% and 90% depending on the airport. 33% at small airports and the place is empty. I am at 50% at the moment, flying into the very moderately sized Chennai (VOMM).
Never mind, that may have been a one off. Like several others posting here, it's the late TOD calls (descent calls come thick and fast after that, but it's too late by then) that it would be good to see the end of (and I am sure Dave is doing his best to see why this might be happening. No one is pretending that this is anything but complex!). How come too that whatever setting I put as my default descent rate, 2000ft/min or 500ft/min makes no difference in the sim? I hoped that might help give earlier descent instructions, but no. That question has been asked by others too..
As it is, I think I am going to take a break from FS9 for a bit now (my family are celebrating the fact already!) - it's getting a bit too frustrating to be honest.
