Hi Chris

b6 fixed the problem of the general command up/down assigned to a button in order to select the “readback transmission” without having to use the mouse. That worked perfect for me. No nead for a readback transmission hotkey.
Is it normal that I have to re-assign the hot key to bring up the UFMC every time I load the plane? default is F8 and I can’t have that in my imac because it opens Itune instead so I assigned Shift U.

David

While I appreciate the feedback, the blog comments are not the place to post bug reports. Please use our bug submission form here (http://dev.x-plane.com/support/bugreport.html) to report bugs but please include only one bug per submission. All of the ATC bugs in that list are known issues anyway so no need to submit those. 🙂

– “Your’re off course” when repeated by the pilot, the first part has a male voice, the second part has the pilot female voice.

– Many ATC sounds seem to me missing, causing endless repeats of “papa 1” “papa 1” “papa 2” “papa 2″…

– At night, when flying through clouds the whole outside view disappears at times, showing only stars everywhere. My guess is that this happens when right in the middle of a cloud (zero visibility) but it is wrong to then show stars. By the way, the night clouds do not look convincing IMHO. Much too light.

– On approach another plane suddenly gets clearance to cross the landing strip causing my landing to be aborted by the ATC. After the aborted landing the ATC forgot about me (I flew on my last directed heading for about 20 NM but the ATC never got back to me).

– Tire smoke of AI aircraft is a) not scaled down when viewed at distance and b) not in line with planes, sometimes meters above the AI plane (got screendump if you’re interested).

– Roads are drawn erratically, going up into the sky, for instance next to EHRD. (got screendump if you’re interested).

Other than that, I love X-Plane 10 🙂

Can’t wait, however, I am doing quite well on my 2011 macbook pro 1gb vram and 2.3ghz quad. I could NOT have even used xp 10, let alone enjoy 9 on my 2008 13″ macbook

Please keep the comments on-topic.

In a 2D or 3D panel? Which aircraft and view specifically?

Unfortunately, Airspace is not the same as controller sector boundaries and it’s the sectors that X-Plane needs for data.

Only at airports without a custom layout. If you go to KSEA where I made the layout myself, you’ll see they follow nearly perfectly the taxi lines on the pavement. This is what airport authors will need to do in the future for the major airports. But yes, that’s why AI planes taxi a bit haphazardly right now.
