I've never had this problem before but now my last 3 IFR flights I have.The ATC works on the ground, through tackoff and generally through climb, but around cruise it just goes away and the only option left is "nearest airports list." I can no longer recieve any vectors or fly the rest of my flight plan.At no time am I turning my radios off or changing any settings before this problem occurs. It's not plane specific either and is happening in all 3 payware airliners I tryed. I've done the obvious things, like switching the freq back and forth, reloading a flight plan hoping to be able to request IFR in mid-air, and I've tried switching radios completely. Nothing brings back the option to tune to the given region's ATC to continue the flight plan.Just the nearest airports list and no other options ever come back.Anyone experienced this? In 4 years of having FSX, I've never had this problem and it seemingly showed up out of nowhere.

I occasionally get the situation whereby ATC can (and do) speak to me but I don't get the options to reply in the ATC dialogue box.That isn't exactly what you are experiencing I think but the sultion for me is actually to alter the Com 1 frequency - not merely alter it or switch it but change it. I then get the option to retune the correct frequency and everything's fine.Just a thought, but the last thing ATC said to you wasn't "Your IFR flightplan is cancelled" was it? If it was you need to be doing what ATC tells you to do!

I get this once in a while, but noticed it was when loading my flight plan on the free flight menu, and after I then changed the time in game
