Hi, I sent you an error report and in it I stated another fault. I had no sound from PF3 when I reached the runway.
I am using the co-pilot in MSFS and I noticed that PF3 was telling me to go to runway 08 but the control tower was telling me to go to runway 26 - The co-pilot went to 26 and you told me that I had gone to the wrong runway which is why PF3 stopped talking.
It doesn't matter what airport I fly from PF3 always says to use the opposite runway to what MSFS ATC is telling me and always stops talking.
If I start at a runway PF3 doesn't know I am at a runway and starts talking about taxiing to the runway I am already at.
This program has never worked since I bout it.
The demo version at least worked - telling me what runway to go to then switching to tower and getting headings until the 15 minute timer came in then didn't work again.
I completely uninstalled the demo version before buying the full version and have even tried un-installing it and re-installing it again but still it doesn't work :)
Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what is wrong with it.

Thank you.

Firstly the demo code is exactly the same as the full version.

Secondly you can't use the MSFS co pilot and PF3 together. MSFS doesn't work correctly with regard to weather and runway designation so either use MSFS and turn PF3 of our visa versa. If you're using PF3 and ATC tell you to go to runway X then that's the runway you must go to... You can't listen to anyone or anything else.

I've just had another look at your log file and PF3 certainly did direct you to the correct runway.

Here's the extracted wind used to decide which runway to assign - this was attained using live online weather:
Quote:
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 020 - Active Runway determined by PF (Wind) selection
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 020 - Extracting Weather Data from EGJJ
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 020 - Using last retrieved online weather report due to lapsed time being less than 10 minutes...
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 020 - Visibility from weather station: 6
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 030 - Wind DIR from weather station : 70
03/04/2021 05:30:10 PM: 030 - Active Runway is set to 8
You really need to turn MSFS ATC off when using PF3
