Hi, I'm having a few issues with PFE.

1. When I reach the departure runway and switch over to the tower frequency I can hear the pilot ask for take-off clearance but more often than not I never hear back from the tower to position and hold or get cleared for take-off. I usually just take-off anyways and then get switched to departure and everything works fine from there until the next problem occurs...

2. I usually won't, but sometimes do, get instructions from center to begin descent with a STAR in use. I usually have to begin the descent regardless at 80 miles out and then ATC complains and tells me to maintain my planned FL until I get switched over to approach. Like I said, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I am using ver. 2.14 with FSX SP2. All waypoint and altitude data entered and start of STAR set. One thing I thought might cause this is perhaps if the last changeable waypoint has the same cruise altitude as your planned FL and PFE isnt recognizing a descent is needed? Also I use CP mode2(Co-pilot handles all comms).
Any help with these issues is appreciated.

Thanks, Bryan.
