Hi Dave,

May I suggest you add a checkbox for propliner support?
What you have to enable is for example:

- Bring in the plane lower much earlier, lets say double or triple the distace (adjustable maybe with a value entered in NM)
- If unable bring us down in a hold (close or over the airfield, or last VOR or NDB in FP)
- Let us specify where to hold, on an VOR or NDB with an NM offset
- Anticipate for a 500 fpm climb/descend

Hi Johan,

I'm not trying to pre-empt Dave's response but I just build the altitudes into the waypoints of my flight plan and don't find any problems with PFE as I do with MS's ATC or another ATC product I have. I usually put a waypoint in at TOD and another about halfway down and PFE seems to work to that, even for 500 fpm descents.

My only beef with PFE and propliners is its constant badgering to reduce speeds to ridiculously low levels for a propliner (I assume ATC think I'm a Cessna!). I know it is supposed to base this on the "flaps_up_stall_speed" but this isn't working as it should for me. If Dave is adding items for a future update please could we have the ability to turn speed nags off?

John

I realize I can do that, with altitude adjustments, but would be nice if PFE takes care of this, maybe by a checkbox what auto adjusts the altitudes ?
The speeds should be or adjustable or just be ticked off yes.

Thanks for thinking with me.
