I was flying a route from Orange County CA (SNA) to Las Vegas NV (LAS) and about halfway there the controller came on and started giving me instructions due to saturation. Wow that caught me off guard but I know it happens in the real world. I thought I had it all down as he said to return to the previous VOR and hold and at an altitude. I did CS/ to get the last transmission but all it repeated was the altitude. I went back to the VOR and using the CDU I entered the hold and after two or three laps around ATC came back and gave me an altimeter reading. I made laps for about 30 minutes by advancing the time about 10 minutes or so every couple of laps and all I ever got was more altimeter readings. I finally left the hold and returned to the original route and fly in and got some strange vectors and then was told to proceed back to that VOR with some conversation like

I made laps for about 30 minutes by advancing the time about 10 minutes or so every couple of laps and all I ever got was more altimeter readings.

I have the log and will send it to you jd. Thanks for your response. I will make the adjustment on the auto-response and check out the co-pilot part of it.I look forward to v5, but the product is really a lot of fun. When I get nervous about ATC yelling at me, I know it is realistic!Thanks.John
