Hi, so here's what I think was happening. As you correctly said, when I said
acknowledge it must've put the simulator into pause mode back on the
flightplan screen. At the time I didn't realise this was was the case and
that's why I was reading through the manuals just to try and find a reason for
it going back to the flightplan screen. Obviously it just went into pause, so
I guess my only question is once this happens how do I get back onto my active
flight screen. I realise now that I should have simply said report traffic
insight at the time. I apologise for making things more confusing,
Thanks Declan.

Hello Declan,
I was merely responding to your question using the information your provided
as a basis for analysis.
If as you stated, you responded with the phrase "Acknowledge" in response to
an ATC controller indicating that there is traffic nearby, that would have
cause IYP to emit the "1" key which would have selected the option to [Select
a New IFR destination] from the ATC menu. By doing so, the simulator would
have been placed in the pause mode and the "flight plan" panel would have
properly popped-up in order to facilitate IFR selection.
If on the other hand, your would heve responded with (as I stated), "We have
the traffic", or "Traffic in sight", that would have cause IYP to emit the
"2" key (the required response) and the flight would have contined as normal.
Thus, I am confused by your statement... "I've made sure to read all the
manuals".
Regrettably at this point, I neither know how to proceed, nor how I can help
you.

Hi, I've made sure to read all the manuals, but despite that when ever I am
flying the game sometimes puts me back on the flightplan screen. Is this the
game crashing or the aircraft? I can't think of any reason why the aircraft
itself would have crashed, but is that the simulators way of telling me I
crashed the aircraft?

As I believe I stated previously, you really need to go through the
SimpleATC command set. The proper response in this instance is documented
as:
Traffic in the Area
If ATC states that you have traffic in your area, and asks you to report
that you have the traffic in sight, simply say,
"Traffic in sight", or "We have the traffic"
I strongly suggest that, despite your anxious feelings to get airborne,
consider that you're going to be flying a "real airplane". With that said,
you'd never take off without reading ALL of the manuals... especially the
sections involving the extremely complex ATC communications protocols.
Please go here:

So just a quick query, I was flying when the controller informed me of
traffic four miles at 12 o'clock. I said acknowledge but nothing happened
so I assumed it would be fine. About a minute later my Sim crushed and
jaws said I was back on the flight plan screen, but I couldn't explore
the interface with the keyboard , does this mean my aircraft crashed?
It's your plane was also responding to my command still but I have no
sound of the aircraft.

Hello,
Only a REGISTERED version of IYP can operate in the BVI mode.
There's a minimum 30-day REFUND policy, so there's no reason

Declan,
No, I was talking about the flight file, which is distinct
from the flight plan file. The flight file has a .flt
extension, and are created by the save/load buttons on the
main “free flight,” screen. Those are the buttons you need
to use, not the save/load buttons on the flight plan screen.

Declan,
Either screen reader should be okay. YOu probably want to
start from a gate or ramp.
When you create and save your flight, are you then
loading it into the sim again? If you don’t do this, you
will still get your “no flight plan has been loaded,”
message. This is not actually true, as the “destination
work around,” I mentioned previously still lets you fly
and get distance information and so forth.
Best,
Zack.

If I wanted to make a flight plan, and I think I'm
following the correct process on the flight deck doc, do
I need to select a runway or ramp to start from. That's
the only reason I can think of why it wouldn't be
working. If so, how do you do this as I'm struggling to
get this part to work in the filters area so it will
read with my screen reader. Just in case if one is
easier, I have jaws and NVDA.

This is a bit buggy, or at least not as intuitive as it
could be. You've created a flight plan, but you haven't
saved an FSX flight. You can read about the process in
the flight deck document on the IYP site, or
alternatively just say, "Make the destination airport
'icao code'," which also seems to work. Personally, I
feel like flights are just a little too cluttered, and
I prefer this latter method.

Hi again, sorry for all the questions. When I do a

Then I click fly now, but then Mike says no flight

database to make sure that its working.

Declan,
If FSX isn’t paused, the “Q,” key is used to mute and
unmute sounds. Is it possible you hit this by
accident? Alternatively, P pauses or unpauses the
sim.

Hi, so I'm still having problems getting it's your

doing at the moment if someone could tell me what
I'm doing wrong. I launch it's your plane and then
launch the simulator. I click on free flight,
select the Cessna aircraft and then select my
starting point. I'm not doing a flight plan at
this point. Then I click fly now. I wait for the
scenery to fully load, and i usually get an engine
sound from the aircraft but I have been told by
someone cited that the plane is currently sitting
on the ground. I alt tab to it's your plane and
Mike starts talking, explaining about me being in
the trial version. Then he says it's your plane we
are ready to go, but when I try and give him any
commands, like do all checklists or open options
panel or something, nothing happens. I just get
the beats from speech recognition telling me it
didn't understand, even though I have configured
it already. Also, when I tab back to Microsoft
flight Sim, I no longer hear the engine sounds.
I'm just not sure where I'm going wrong really.

Hi Declan,
This is probably because you just picked the type
of aircraft you wanted, and not its location. The
default FSX flight starts with you already in the
air.
The solution is to go to the second Change
button, which lets you pick an airport to park
at. The search interface is a bit confusing, and
I usually just memorize the airport ID of the
place I want.
Hope this helps,
Zack.
