Some of my recent flights in Prepar3D's latest version and the PMDG 748. Doing cargo runs around the world. Loading up at Manila, bound for Singapore. Arrived to a very hazy Singapore, although for some reasons the sim depicted it as light rain. Enroute to Hong Kong from Singapore And the highlight of V5, these clouds... when they work, they're just gorgeous. Granted it's still in beta. Exciting future ahead. Final approach VHHH Rwy 07R (Taxi2Gate VHHH V2.2) Flew another leg to Manila, then off to London Heathrow. The picture below somewhere over Netherlands. The end. My airplane is parked at EGLL, awaiting its next flight to LSZH then back to RPLL.

The word unable is very powerful. Without going into technical specifics, PIC will override ATCO any time. Just say "unable visual approach due weather, request ILS/RNAV/VOR approach."

Yes, you should be able to. I wouldn't know the specifics of the required coordination with ATC, but ATC should be able to give you a block altitude.

After several months of no errors, today I encountered one. It's when the wind was reported only as VRB.

There's going to be a C1 CPT in the Philippines on 1 Mar 2020 starting 1200 UTC for Eli John Caluya. Please feel free to fly VFR or IFR. This is a great time to fly popular domestic routes, e.g.: RPLL-RPVP v.v RPLL-RPVM v.v RPLL-RPMD v.v See you!

This isn't accurate at all. Please do expand your horizons and don't let a few bad apples turn you away. Visit Southeast Asia too!

This fixed it for me.

I'm also getting this error. I already did a clean install of vATIS.

I updated to this version but for some reasons my ATIS keeps pulling KLAX METAR.

It's the one provided by our ISP; PROLiNK PRS1841U. I'm currently flying right now...and hopefully no port timeouts.

That bit I'm not sure myself. My modem is actually a modem+wifi, but I disable its wireless functions. I can only [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that while I'm connected to the AP; the network sees this as if a LAN connection directly to the router as if wired? Sorry, my knowledge on these things is very limited

Hello! For the tech folks :cough: Ross cough: Don I recently changed my network setup, wherein my routers operation mode is set as access point, connected via LAN to my modem. I also chose a smart DHCP in the LAN type setup in the AP so the router's DHCP will not startup. I also checked the modem, it's not handling any DHCP since I also disabled its wireless. Question--do I still need to setup port forwarding to keep vPilot/VRC from timing out ports? I must also mention that when I checked the router configuration page, there are no options for port forwarding, unless I switch to 'Wireless Router' mode. (I'm using TL-WR840N). Or this setup is effectively the same as being connected directly to the router; therefore no need to setup port forwarding, etc.

Oh this is perfect, even with vPilot there's also an observer mode... Perfect for the likes of Arthur who wish not to interact with ATC or anyone else.
