Reply Menu Missing from ATC Window

[Guest Mendota]

I have never seen this problem before. Randomly, after being issued instructions by ATC, the answer menu will be blank. This means I cannot respond, so after repeated queries from ATC my IFR flightplan is cancelled. I am running FSX on Vista, boot camp on my Power Book (which works great), have EditVoicepack installed to add airlines, and am flying Wilco Airbus Vol. 1 and 2 mostly with FS2Crew. The only thing I can think of that's different is I installed Vol. 2. Don't see how that could make any difference.I can re-file, but this happens when being vectored, too, so I'm ordered to cruising altitude.Big problem. Anyone seen anything like this?

This is a well known issue in FSX I'm afraid. To work around it, just flip frequencies (choose your #2 freq. and then back to the one you we're issued an instruction from ) and the menu re'appears.Very annoying but I know of no permanent fix for this one.Hope that helps./jonas

Pressing the "tab" button twice to close and immediately re-open the ATC window also works.

Thanks, that does it. Annoying, but at least this works.
