I thought it might be something to do with running a machine for somebody else. So I was on the wrong track completely. Not unusual. Bloody computer speak. I'll never understand it! John Happy to hear you got it sorted John. Happy flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks for the tip about '1' Kevin. I really must print those key numbers out from the guide. I wondered why I couldn't set the heading bug properly until I got it up! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 My experience of PF3 is terrible! I've only managed to get it working two or three times. Most of the time I have to go back to LM ATC to get a flight in. At least it actually works. The forum has turned out to be useless. Plenty of reads but no answers. Dave March doesn't seem to know what's wrong either. I've tried a few relevent suggestions found in questions and answers which haven't had any effect so all in all this ATC has turned out to be a disaster for me and I'm out of patience with it. So, I'm going to uninstall it and look for something else. It'll probably be Radar Contact. At least its reliable...or it was. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinJH Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi John, really sorry to hear that you've had no joy getting PF3 working - seems you've fallen into a very small number of people that've hit some kind of wall unlike the many hundreds - nay, thousands - that are enjoying the product. I must say that if DM is unable to figure out what your problem was then it's possibly something quite unique to your set-up. I think your statement of the forum being useless is a little sweeping but if that's your experience.... Anyway, it's not a cheap product by any stretch of the imagination and with the problem(s) that you've been unlucky enough to encounter, I'd suggest you sent DM an email with your activation number and request a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hi Kevin This is the response from Dave to me last error report; 'Well I don't know about PF3 but in FS there's an option to prevent that'. I suppose this is his idea of being helpful. As for the forum. I've mentioned I think three topics. Although I've ticked for the replies to be sent to me automatically, no replies have been received so I've had to go to the forum for the couple where replies were made. I've been looking for an alternative ATC but haven't had a lot of success there either. I don't think Radar Contact do a version that's suitable for P3D3.3.5. or Windows 10 so I'm a bit stymied at present. No doubt something will come up sometime in the future.

Braniff002 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 It certainly works in the latest P3D John. Can't help you with W10, still using W7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPCCEO Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 No. But I do run RC on my second computer over a network through WideFS, in case that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that does indeed matter, as that is how I always run it. So, THANK YOU for confirming that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Hi Bruce. 'But I do run RC on my second computer over a network through WideFS, in case that matters' But does it work on the same computer as the flight sim'? ie with W10 and P3Dv3.3.5.

CPCCEO Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I run P3Dv3.3.5 on one machine and Radar Contact on the other computer. Both computers run windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Can anyone verify this and the settings involved? I agree with John on PF3. It does work sometimes but detecting the specific circumstances is difficult. I used Radar Contact a long time ago when it was supported. It worked ok. But to rely on it may be a fools errand. Changes in P3D and Windows may eventually negate it and thus it becomes useless with no support. The safer route is to get PF3 working and hope it remains a supported product.
