Hey guys I got PFE a while back and never really used it. Today I did a flight from EGCC to EGLL that left me with a few questions. First, why didn't atc tell me to descent? I waited till I was about 10 nm AFTER my predicted T/D on my fmc. Second, does descending without permission void your right t contacting approach? Because they never did hand me off... Third, how do you configure sids and stars? the one tutorial that explains it is not very good nd I could not find anything in the manual. Fourth, is there a way to make PFE atc use the same callsign that FSX atc is using to talk to AI? Because its REALLY annoying when you hear a westjet in Manchester lol XD

I have no idea without seeing a log for the flight. Please email the debug monitor log file from your PFE\Logs folder. If you've completed another flight since this issue please send the OLD log. If you've completed more than the one flight since this issue then logs will have been overwritten so please send a log the next time the problem occurs

PFE doesn't care what your FMC predicts

Yes

What part of this don't you understand when you say the tutorial is no good?

No and you shouldn't be listening to FS ATC together with PFE

Honestly, I DONT understand what you mean in replying to my 3rd question. I was referring to a YOUTUBE tutorial. Also, how do I mute FSX default atc? on the ground its kinda annoying...

You said the tutorial wasn't very good and you want to configure SIDs/STARs, so what don't you understand? As for FS ATC why not just turn the sound down?

You can do that? I did not understand the system. For example, how do I tell atc were my sid/star starts/ends? Oh, and one more thing. PFE cleared me for take off when I was behind a whole load of ai! Did they clear me to taxi in front of them via a closer taxi way? I did not remember there taxi instructions lol!

Um, hello?

Turn down Traffic to about 25% in FSX or 33% in FS2004.

Also have ATC volume set to "0" in settings but not turned off.

PFE will only know about Sids/Stars when you set them in PFE after you have compiled and created your flightplan,if you know which sid or star you want to fly,set it in PFE and your fmc.

And FYI please no sarcasm like "Um Hello" we don't appreciate being hassled as per forum rules...thank you
