Hi,

 

I looked through the topics a little, and everyone here seems to be having some specific problem. Well, I have problems with a lot of things about RC.

 

First and most relevant problem I have is that the "repeat" command won't work. No, I do not have the auto-reply on. I've tried different key bindings, but can never get the ATC to repeat transmissions.

 

Second, often when getting transferred to another radio freq, I manually tune to the correct frequency only to hear the previous controller go "I say again: contact..." after which I acknowledge the frequency again while already having my radio set on the new frequency and then I get to contact the next controller. This is annoying especially during busy approaches and take-offs.

 

Third, RC gets "jammed". There are multiple reasons for this. Last time it happened when I was running out of fuel and trying to file my first ever emergency. I browsed through the first and second pages of emergencies looking for some kind of "low fuel" situation. When I couldn't find one on the first two pages, I pressed "next" once more which caused the window to say "standby". It stayed on standby and I didn't hear from the controller after that. I landed (through an A320) and quit RC.

This has also happened when I as a newbie to RC was flying at wrong altitude due to incorrectly set QNH. I got confused and tried to see what altitude I had been assigned by pressing "request higher". This caused RC to go "standby" and I again landed without ATC.

 

Can anyone offer an explanation to why my RC has so many functionality issues? I'm using AISmooth, MyTraffic 2013, REX and LVLD767

 

Oh, and as a sidenote, my RC does not seem to recognize the existence of Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi-airport. Not a big problem, but thought that I'd mention it here.

since this is the first i've heard from you on this, i'll be happy to answer here. usually emails will get a faster response.

 

1) i'd need to see a log, to know why the repeat doesn't work. if the co-pilot has the comms, you won't get a repeat

 

2) if i didn't maintain some contact with you when you manually change frequencies, a worse situation would arise. lost communications. are you flying at 2x or 4x by any chance? how long does it take you to change frequencies? more than 60 seconds (which is the timeout value i think)

 

3) i've never encountered, or heard of anyone else get stuck in the manner you're describing. again a log would help analyze and explain what is going on, while you're flying.

 

4) i'll leave it to others to agree, or disagree with your premise on so many functionality issues. what i'm reading are a few little misunderstandings that can be ironed out by asking for help, and letting folks with the background and experience help you.

 

5) if you download and install the latest makerwys.exe from peter's site, install it into the fs root directory, and then click the rebuild rc scenery database button in the rc app, i think you'll find your missing airport you mentioned appear.

 

instructions on producing a log, are pinned to the top of the forum
