Make sure that the TGS.exe is not running in Windows "processes(CTL-ALT-Del)". TGS is very finicky, and sometimes when you close pf3, TGS does not close with it, but keeps on running in the background processes. If this happens, TGS will not work when you start PF3. I make a habit to chec...

Yes, and thank you for the tremendous amount of effort in your writeup. PF3 needs a bit more loving care in this area.

I run frequently into a "silent" state due to an airport not having Ground. It seems like an easy decision for PF3 to determine if an airport has a ground frequency. If not, it should tell the pilot to contact tower. In VC mode 2 it's even more obvious that ATC should have that "intel...

Hi Dave, After loading a flight plan, at times I decide that I want to check the "STAR" box. However, once I go into the SID/STAR option menu to check the box, I am forced to reload the flight plan. It would make more sense to make this option as part of the flight plan editing option. I t...

Hi Dave, First time, after the latest beta, that I was flying at 16500 feet and center assumed I was at a different altitude and kept asking me to climb to that altitude. The pilot's reply said that I was at 16000 climbing to 16500. I calibrated the altimeter, so I am not sure why only with the late...

Thanks for the explanation. I am aware of the fact that PF3 can be moved as a single window and that it also remembers its last location. The reason for my "feature" suggestion is that a flight planner such as Little Navmap usually takes up a large section of the screen. Depending on what ...

Upon landing, Tower failed to transfer me to Ground. Could not call up frequencies, so I was forced to taxi without Ground or Taxi guidance.

When an option window is opened in PF3, the main PF3 window cannot be moved around with the mouse cursor. The options windows can be moved, but the main window cannot. This is an issue when I am using a flight planner and, at the same time, I am using PF3 to load and modify a flight plan. Sometimes ...

Hi Dave, As someone who is only one year younger than you, I feel your pain. If possible, perhaps a button that turns on windows magnifier might be a good compromise. I often use it, and it brings PF3 to a very comfortable size. What makes this approach a bit of a nuisance is that at times I can't f...
