Dave, thanks for the tip about 'finding' the main window, that sorted me out - I had tried various things, but not that sequence. I may not have explained my problem very well - I was expecting PF3 to add an XXX 'handoff' point at the entry and exit of oceanic airspace. This is what the JSON appears...

And this is what's in the startup log when I run it now: 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - PF3 starting on DELL-G5 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - Initialising... 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - Collating Skins... 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - Check NET Framework... 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - Check Regional Settings... 06/03/2021 16:37:08 - Ch...

Hi, I have been making a series of flights to familiarise myself with Oceanic procedures and have encountered a strange situation: I created an IFR plan for a flight from Kangerlussuaq (BGSF) to Iqaluit (CYFB) via a single waypoint (WP1) at 64N 59W so that it crossed Gander Oceanic airspace. PF3 loa...

Thanks for looking into this again, I understand what you're saying about no oceanic handovers, but I'm still a bit confused. I'm happy that the VCP used the XXX co-ordinates as reporting points, as in 'next xxNyyW', as a sector handover is due at those points. This is the activity that I recorded a...

I updated to 3.10.20 last night and managed to re-run the same flight today under VCP 3 - it's good news/bad news time I'm afraid: The good news is that the VCP switched frequency from Shanwick to Gander at 4930N and reported in correctly. The bad news is that VCP missed the XXX reporting point at 4...

Hi Dave, many thanks for this. I guess I have a couple of questions, relating to oceanic procedures in general: If there is no handover between zones, how does one know to switch frequencies from Swanwick (127.90) to Gander (132.10) and then from Gander (132.10) to Gander (132.20)? The VCP seems to ...

A gentle nudge ...
I have time for more flying this weekend as no home international rugby matches to watch

I meant to mention one other thing: I noticed a small anomaly with all of the position reports given by the VCP, the reported position isn't the waypoint position. I'm guessing that it's giving the actual aircraft position but it appears to be a rounded down integer value; so at 49N20W, for example,...

Apologies for the delay in responding; I have tried the updated version of PF3 and have noticed a few strange things - I ended up making the same flight three times to get all of the details: 1) Handover takes place correctly at GAPLI from London Control to Shanwick Oceanic on 127.90 with SELCAL che...

I've tried the flight again today and had a similar problem - this time I made sure that I was at Normal simulation speed more than 20nm before the end of Oceanic Control at waypoint DAYSE. The Virtual CP (I was using VCP Mode 2) made a position report to Gander Center passing DAYSE (at 46N 58W), as...
