I have rejoined PE after a one year break, and I cannot remember the procedure for requesting IFR clearance on non-towered airports if neither departure nor center can be tuned in...wasn´t there a certain frequency which simulates phone calls...? Thanks for helping me with my rusty memory :) Thomas

might be slightly offtopic, but I know that some experienced software developers are on this forum, so I will give it a try ;) I own a Cirrus PFC flight console (USB version) from Precision Flight control which I use for my PE flights, it works fine, but I would need different switch commands in X-P...

You can copy the flight plan into the service provided on the website https://flightplandatabase.com/planner#decoder The flight plan can then be downloaded in X-Plane format and need to be copied in to the X-Folder (I think it is in "Output"). Then, when in the cockpit, just switch on page...

I am flying almost daily on PE, nowadays mostly in ZLA, and usually in the morning - which is afternoon in Europe. Quite often I observe the controller being kind of annoyed when pilots are stepping on each other, but from a pilot point of view, I do not know how to avoid it to a 100%. Often, I do n...

...also had my 1st flight with the new ATIS....EXCELLENT!! I am using an iPad together with Foreflight when flying on PE, and in the past I had to exit Foreflight and fire up the ATIS on myflightroute.com to get the letter code for the weather information, which was a bit annoying. Now we have it al...

...I already used the Warrior from Justflight within PE and I can confirm that the Transponder Mode C works. However, be aware that the landing performance is not very accurate...it will improve with the X-Plane 11.30 update, but with the current version, there is almost no floating on the runway du...

...get flywithlua - if you have not already - and write a small Lua script with your call sign, put it on the screen and voila...

...Yeah, I tried yesterday with the UNICOM frequency 122.8 on COM2 and did not experience any unusual VHF distortion. Case solved!

I dont´think so since I use COM2 only for the ATIS frequencies. But I will give it a try and keep it on 122.8 as proposed.

Thanks guys!

I have a question on how to behave on the radio, when the controller is not understandable due to the new VHF distortion. I experienced this several times: Either with the active frequency, and the controller tells me to switch to a new frequency - but I simply cannot read him. Or after switching to...
