Issue with centre comm handoffs

Featured Replies

My apologies if this has been asked before, but a quick search didn't reveal a solution to my issue.Anyhoot, I have a peculiar problem with centre handing me off to incorrect frequencies. I originally thought the problem was isolated to changing allocated items in the ATC General options, but the problem persisted after I left that alone. My problem;Usually on arrivals the controller will tell me to contact XXX on 123.45 (for example). The problem is that I'm already on the frequency that the controller wants to hand me off to - therefore, option #7 (acknowledgment) and option #1 (acknowledgment and tune to the applicable frequency) does not illuminate on the ATC box. The controller then repeatedly requests me to make the allocated change, but I'm already on the frequency he wants me to change to. Is there a solution to this other than a reinstall?Thanks in advance.

reinstalling is not going to fix anything. can you duplicate the problem? if so make a log, instructions pinned to the top of the forum. are you sure the controller is talking to you? do you have autotune on contact set? it's hard to tell what is going on without a log.jd

Yes, the controller calls my callsign for the allocated frequency change, and I'm not running with any AI so I'm the only bird in the sky. :( I do not have autotune on contact set, however. I will conduct another flight soon and try to duplicate the problem.

It was center to center, at cruise altitude, and around 60nm to the TOD each time.

load the same plan, and look at the arrival atis frequency. does it look the same as the center frequency you were on?

Yes, it was. Arrival ATIS is listed as 135.40 (I remember the center frequency that I was on prior to the arrival). I didn't change it as it agreed with what I had listed in the charts. My flight in question was EDDF - KORD.If you need my flight plan for that route:BIBOS 7F/7G ---> BIBOSUZ29 ---> NIKUL610 ---> GILDAUM14 ---> STOATUL613 ---> MOGLIUP6 ---> DIMLIUN570 ---> GINGAUN572 ---> GOMUPNAT_B ---> YDPN362B ---> SSMJ101 ---> OBKFrom OBK I planned on vectors to intercept the ILS for RWY 14R (WX was below CAT I minima).This is FSX BTW with the Level-D 767.
