"Resetting" ATC mid-flight.

[mrb32854 1]

Sometimes, on maybe about about 2% or 3% of my cross-country VFR flights in FS9, for various reasons, FS9's ATC will kind of "hang".

 

I don't mean hang in the traditional sense. The flight and FS9 in-general stay up an running, and the flight can proceed all the way to landing, but, during the flight, something will occur that makes the ATC stop calling or communicating with my aircraft.

 

They don't try to call my aircraft, and I can't raise them in the ATC window, cause its hung up on, usually, "There are no messages...." and that's it.

 

Does anybody have any recommendations on possibly how to fix this?

 

Is there some ini/cfg file where a setting of some type can be reset?

 

I have "TweakFlight" and FSPS's new "Flight Simulator Manager", but neither seems to have any settings that can be reset concerning ATC mid-filght, as far as I can see.

 

The only way I've found to fix this is start the aircraft off at some airport, on the ground, i.e., basically start the flight over again.

 

Any insights, suggestions regarding maybe someway that the ATC could be reset while in mid-flight would be greatly appreciated.

Change the game time (even by only 1 second). Should force an ATC & traffic reload, and might do the trick?

You remembering to keep to keep your battery/generators/avionics on?

No avionics equals no ATC.

Just adjust the Com1 frequency on notch, then you should get the request to tune the correct one.

If the above tricks don't work, to really reset ATC while in flight, choose World/Map and change your heading by one degree. Then you are starting over.

 

Hope this helps,
