Had a semi-interesting experience today (offline, not whilst on PE) where I had to return to the departing airport about 10mins into the flight due to an hydraulics issue on the 737-800 (after going through the appropriate QRH). If it were online, I assume you'd handle it the same as any real emerge...

Just to be safe and consistent, I would always leave it to ground (not Clearance) for runway assignment questions, as Clearance may be able to tell you, or might not. Ground always will. If you are not ready for taxi, I would say something like: “John Wayne Ground, N123AB, east signature with bravo...

I wouldn’t say anything wrong with it but there will be times the Clearance controller has no idea. I can’t imagine why you can’t program your SID in your FMC during taxi. Or is there another reason you are asking? Nope that was pretty much the reason for asking :) In P3D it doesn't matter really, ...

Did my first flight on PE today, and it went very well - mostly thanks to all the information here. I was mortified when I realised on arrival at KPHX that my P3D scenery's taxiways didn't exactly match the real-world ones and caused me to take the wrong runway exit, but the controller was very nice...

Thank you, Kyle - some great info there! And the MyFlightRoute site is fantastic, especially to indicate currently active runways and live ATIS. Will definitely have a look at the workshops as well.

Spent the last couple of days going through the documentation and watching streamers who fly on PilotEdge, picked up quite a bit of information so far. Few more questions come to mind that I can't find any concrete info on, however (maybe I looked in the wrong place): In both cases, assume I'm in a ...

Ah, missed that part. Thank you!

Oh, one other question - can one sign up for ONLY the Western Expansion if you plan to only fly in those areas and avoid the ZLA areas? Was wondering what the consequences would be, for instance, if you have a departure and destination airport in the Western Expansion but you have to overfly the ZLA...

Ah, great - thanks! I'll brush up on the info on the I-ratings before trying to fly online

Hi all, I've been a flightsim pilot for the last 12 years or so, mostly focusing on PMDG planes (especially the B738). Currently I use ProATC for synthetic ATC as I found it to be the only somewhat reliable one to provide SID/STAR clearances, etc. I've tried my hand at VATSIM before, but found the l...
