Hi Jim,
Firstly I'm assuming you are running PFE version 2.11.1
I use Glasgow as my normal base, and have Gary Summons' Glasgow Extreme. I have a saved flight at Gate 20L, according to the airport markings. When my copilot asks for clearance, it is from Gate 15 which is not where I think I am. We get cleared for taxiways L, G, E, which is correct from where we are sitting. TGS is active, but I seldom get instructions, but sometimes my copilot seems to wake up when I am on Golf. Is this difficulty because there is some confusion between default Glasgow and Glasgow Extreme? I may try a flight from a default airport to test this.
I have that airport myself so will check this out... hopefully today. If, however, you can recreate this problem I would like to see the debug_monitor.log file from the ...\PFE\Logs folder (email only please)
Originally my problem was no TGS to the gate after landing. Lately I have tried several flights from Glasgow EGPF to Belfast EGAA, and EGPF to Birmingham EGCC. On each occasion I had good descent instructions, was allocated a runway, was vectored out towards a point suitable for a turn towards the runway, and then allowed to continue on this last course for thirty miles or so, with a reminder about my speed if I transgressed, thus proving I hadn't been entirely forgotten. At this point I gave up!
Again, a debug_monitor.log is essential for me to even comment on what may or may not have gone wrong.
Tonight, after being vectored towards the approach to EGCC, R6L, the same thing happened, I pressed 7 hoping for more vectors without success, and turned to make a normal landing without rebuke, but of course I had left my copilot up in the sky somewhere, so I had screwed PFE up completely.
If you find yourself in such a situation again remember you can always hit hotkey #1 to 'Request Cleared To Final At Pilot's Discretion' and then after landing and closing down PFE please email me the debug_monitor.log with a short description as to what went wrong. If there is a problem with PFE then I obviously need to find and correct it.
Could you point me to something stupid I am doing or not doing? I'd like to get PFE running smoothly, for I have FDC waiting to get to grips with.
I don't think you're doing anything stupid at all Jim but what you're not doing is sending me the debug_monitor.log file
Sorry about the long story. Regards, Jim
Always prefer to have more detail than not enough.... saves us all a lot of time.
What really winds me up are those that post a single line like
'PFE didn't work properly on approach. Is there a fix for this?'
