May 13, 201115 yr Commercial Member Here's a new bug that just cropped up for me in FSX. I've been flying the QW 757 for a week or so now, and just yesterday I lost the ability to reply to ATC requests. The ATC window pops up on command, and I see that I've been told to turn to X heading, but there are no replies listed in the window below - just a blank field where the communication options are usually listed. It happened in mid-flight, after successfully replying to a bunch of other requests. I found that the only way to get it back was to quit FSX and restart it. The best part is that it wasn't limited to a single occurrence - it happened twice on two separate flights. Has anyone else seen this, or have I somehow missed something boneheaded that causes it?For background, I've mapped the ATC window open/close command to a button on my Saitek yoke, and used the two rocker switches on the right horn to select ATC 1, 2, 3, and 4, which covers the majority of responses I need to make usually. This one's got me a little stumped.

May 13, 201115 yr I am sure that I had that one (when I still used MS ATC) - I think the solution was to manually de-tune the radio, then choose the option to Autotune it back in and I think your options come back. It does get a bit frustrating when it happens several times in a flight !!G Gary Davies aka "Gazzareth" Simming since 747 on the Acorn Electron

May 14, 201115 yr I have the same problem on occasion. The solution is indeed to go go 1mhz down then back up and it works again John doe
May 14, 201115 yr When this happened a lot to me I found it was because of a few duplicate afcad files
May 14, 201115 yr Yeah had this too, something about the ATC window losing focus...You need to dial a different freq on your comm stack, and then open the window again and it should have you contact the same "controller" again - it should autotune. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
