OnCourse Software

Hey there, I just got PF3 and did my first test flight. My Test Route was from CYYT to BIKF. And there I have encountered my first issues.
My filed cruise level was FL330 and for departure I was cleared to FL160 via a vector departure. The funny part about this is, I was entering the Oceanic airspace right after departure so I was not told to resume own navigation, nor was I given any further climb, I was handed over to gander right away. I decided to proceed to my first waypoint on my own and climb to FL330. Right after leaving the oceanic airspace the controller told me to descend back to FL160 and I still had 100 Miles to go to my actual top of descend, so I ignored him and started to descend at my top of descend point. The controller never called me again. I was not given any instructions, nor was I sent to the tower. So I lost the whole aspect of PF3 on this flight.


Another issue I have encountered, which I am not certain if it is caused by PF3 itself or the PFE2XP plugin, is when I request to fly direct to any waypoint, my aircraft instantly teleports to cruise level while I am still climbing and when I declare an emergency, my electric busses all fail at the same time. I have already contacted the developer of the PFE2XP plugin but it seems like I am getting ignored. I usually got answers to questions within 4 hours but when it comes to reporting a severe issue, I am not getting any response at all... This is quite devastating, this would not be the first developer or support who just ignores me when I am encountering any severe issue.


About the oceanic airspace bug... Does anyone have any solution, please, how I can use PF3 when I want to depart from any airport at any coast at the ocean without losing any controller instructions?

Thanks in advance

In case you need that, here is my debug monitor

Can you post your flightplan from the FPP Folder.

Here, I hope this can help

And here is also the raw route MUSAK DCT 49N050W 55N040W 59N030W DCT BAXER DCT BIRNA BIRNA3K

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately I won't be able to look into this properly till next week. If you haven't heard back by mid (next) week please give me a nudge.

Just got around to looking at this issue but unfortunately you have provided an incorrect log. For this flight you declared an emergency so I was unable to ascertain if there is a problem with regard to the issues raised in your OP. Please try and recreate the problem and then post the correct log

Which Log do you need exactly?

We need to see debug_monitor.log, as you provided, but it gets overwritten each time you start PF3 so it needs to be zipped up immediately after a problem flight.
