I have noticed a problem with PF3 version 3.6.0 on my system. I am told to switch to approach usually at around 150 miles from my destination while I am still at cruising altitude. The last two flights I did I was at FL370 and Fl360. Is there a way to fix this? The approaches into airports are fine, but I am wondering why I am tuning to Approach way to soon all of a sudden.
Thanks,
Jordan

We can take a closer look if you zip and attach the debug_monitor.log file (located in your PF3\Logs folder) from the affected flight. However, this can happen if your last PF3 waypoint is too far from the destination airport. For best results your last PF3 waypoint should be about 25-40 nm out. See the following thread which may or may not apply to your situation:

If this doesn't resolve the problem please zip and post the logs so we can have a look.
