FS9 default ATC allows you to1. Cancel IFR2. Accept a frequency change, tune the frequency...and not contact that ATC.Either of these results in the ability to fly a very long flight, in autopilot, without having to constantly talk to ATC. I do have a life, and a job, LOL!If I do #1 I have to request a new IFR when I'm back "in control",if I do #2 I simply have to contact whatever FS9 ATC area I'm in, when back at the computer, and the flight resumes without requesting a new IFR clearance (after all the ATC "catch up messages").How, if at all, does Radar Contact handle this? Is there a way to stop talking to RC ATC...and resume later in the flight?

I tend to hand off the coms to the first officer. He will handle being passed off to the next center, and any transponder code changes should such arise. Control + Shift + K I believe is the default key combo to do this.

Very good...thank you Scott.
