| Post subject: | No descend or approach |
| Hi PFE I just bought PFE from Aerosoft and tried it out on a few flights now. I never get any descend or approach information from ATC. In fact out of desperation I even tried descending without authorization, and ATC asked me to climb back up to cruise-altitude. This results in me overflying the destination airport at cruise-altitude - and even passing it without any call from ATC... What am I doing wrong?? thanks (ps. I tried the cumulative update, as suggested here on the forum. I also set my descend profile to 1500 FPM) |

| Have you ran Makerwys and then rebuild the PFE database? Have altered any altitudes in your flightplan? Have you watched my tutorials for PFE from the main website under "Tutorials" |

| Yes to all three. I also tried one without altering the flightlevel with no difference (other than I would then be flying the entire route in 8000ft, which seems quite low) -- |

| Which directory have you installed PFE into? This error you are receiving usually derives from a bad flightplan,what planner are you using? Have you missed an ATC instruction by any chance,can you post a flightplan you are having problems with please.. |

| PFE is installed into C:\Program Files\Aerosoft\PFE I used vRoute to generate the plan - boasts to be real-world aviation-plan. this is the .pln: -------------------- [flightplan] AppVersion=9.1.40901 title=ENBO Bodo to ENAN Andoya description=ENBO, ENAN type=IFR routetype=2 cruising_altitude=22000 departure_id=ENBO, N67* 16.15', E14* 21.92', +000042.00 departure_position=1 destination_id=ENAN, N69* 17.55', E16* 8.65', +000043.00 departure_name=Bodo destination_name=Andoya waypoint.0=ENBO, A, N67* 16.15', E14* 21.92', +000042.00, waypoint.1=ARDUX, I, N67* 36.67', E14* 32.01', +000000.00, waypoint.2=IBVIS, I, N67* 55.10', E14* 41.29', +000000.00, Z200 waypoint.3=SKG, V, N68* 34.70', E15* 2.10', +000000.00, Z200 waypoint.4=ENAN, A, N69* 17.55', E16* 8.65', +000043.00, -- |

| Uninstall PFE and don't use the default location of C:\Program Files this where the problem lies. When asked for install,use C: and PFE will create a folder to install into... |

| hi Mr., I have now 2 years experience with PFE.. and .. in 2 cases you´ll get no descent instructions: 1: Check if PF2000 is calculation a climb and descent profile - sometimes it does -unfortunately - not !! For this -- select a FLT - push "Compile" - than "Continue" -- and look under: Change Altitude Assignment for Waypoints. Or..Check the Altitudes in PFEmulator - before you fly - under: Adjust Waypoints Altitutes... 2: If you ask inflight ATC for higher or lower Altitude and you climb as example 2000 ft. above your assigned Flightlevel - it is a absolutely "no go" - because PFE is forgetting you e.g. - no more descent instructions. Hope it helps Bye Walter |

| As far as I can see PF/PFE does calculate af climb and descend profile. I tried creating a route with the build in planner in FSX. Still no luck... |
