ATC Forgets About Me

Featured Replies

I've had this issue several times, but I'm new to Pilot2ATC, so I'm not certain whether it is a bug or just that I'm doing something wrong. There are two situations in which ATC stops responding.

One is just after they give me a vector ("turn heading 90"). Sometimes they ask me to expedite. I never hear from them again. If I fly that heading for 15 - 30 seconds, then turn back on course, they don't object, and seem to see me as I continue to get service.

The second is a bit more serious. After telling me to change center frequencies, my co-pilot responds, and I get the little musical tone, but ATC never responds after that. I notice that the frequency identification shown on com1 indicates a more distant center (in one case, it was, I think, Kansas City when it should have been Chicago center) with the same frequency (the frequency list shows several centers with the same frequency).

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way I can get ATC to remember where I am and get be back on course or respond? I've tried manually switching frequencies but that doesn't seem to help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have tried that, and tried manually switching, position reports, and the like. Didn't resolve the issue.

New information: last night I flew on, and after about an hour, it suddenly unblocked. About a dozen ATC messages, all in a row, then the co-pilot responses, again all in a row, along with several frequency changes, all automated, and then ATC went on as normal. Weird.

I confirmed it. I had the same thing happen. It stopped responding so I continued my flight assuming it crashed, then I received a dozen messages in a row.

Hello,

 

I have the same problem. I have done several flights and I never managed to have one with a consistent ATC.

It keeps forgeting me and I always have to play with some report message or request last transmission to try to wake it up. It does not always succeed.

I still have 5 days in my trial version and I really would like to purchase a solution providing a good ATC coverage but there I do not feel I can spend my money for the current version which has all these bugs.

I know some fixes are planned but when will they be released? Will it be soon enough so I can test them before having to purchase it?
