So if I say "I have the weather" rather than "I have HOTEL" it would insinuate I am running custom weather? Or should I just state "custom weather?"

Hey Alex, I have FSX which is somewhat equivalent to P3D and fly a Skylane from A2A. I too have the same problem with the transponder, only working from the client or the PE splash screen that I see in the corner of my sim window. I've just accepted it and moved on. Have no clue about your second pr...

cool

Is this going to work with FSX also or are we out there with no audio ATIS after Feb 6?

Yes VFR charts are packed! If you use the PE map the road map is pretty useful for simming. The 'MAP' mode shows a great deal of roads. It's Google's map so it's accurate. Plus it tracks your plane if you like. The map also has a topographical layer that's handy.

did you verify the update on the roster before logging off PE? If it wasn't on there and you logged off, it's gone into the bit bucket and recycled. Nothin anyone can do.

I enjoy it, but mostly it’s a great reminder of why GPS is light years better. :lol: I suppose if I looked in my box of college crap I could probably find my slide rule, but prefer using my fingers and toes! Just kidding, I actually own ...

Dang... did I throw an M-80 in the campfire here? All I was saying is all these CATs are VFR flights and if ForeFlight took L88 out of their database then click on SkyVector and look out the window. I did all the CATs with FSX Gold and default scenery and did them all looking out the window and I've...
