Dear all

First let it be said - I'm very happy about PF3 and the way it works. But as with all software there is always room for improvement.

I'm on Prepar3d v 3.4, PF3 v. 3.5.0, with an updated makerunway

Takeoff ENVA on rwy 27 destination EHAM on a company route. Clearance from the gate, taxiing to holding point rwy 27 following all instructions. Everything ok so far. Arrival at rwy 27 the nice lady from PF3 said steady steady, then TGS has deactivited and then nothing. I have tried this three times on different takeoff dates. First time I was sitting there for nearly 15 minutes after the last landing, no further incoming flights (communication to the previous incoming flight was ok including the request to clear the runway). No "wait for incoming flight", "line up" or anything else. Second time (still rwy 27) I only waited 10 minutes before I got anarchist and entered the runway. This last time (still rwy 27) and no incoming flights for miles in sight, I took the liberty to line up and departure without clearance. After this everything worked fine with departure frequency communication and vectoring into EHAM.

I have of course run the makerunway and updated the PF3 database a few times. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

The taxiway at ENVA does not take you to quite to the end of the runway.

At any airport where the taxiways finish mid-runway it is essential to use Hotkey 6 (as mentioned above) to contact the tower for take-off - its just the way PFE is designed and I'm sure there is a good technical reason.
