I just completed a flight with the PMDG 747 8i v3, there is a known problem with the FO switch in the vhs mic off when tuning the radio. I forgot this today and i miss a AtC handoff because of that. So i wonder, is there a way to find what frequency you should be monitoring at different stage of the flight?

You could try "confirm frequency".

He would typically recall the last frequency that was included in a caption, under "contact 1XX.XXX"

 

Thanks again, i will try that on my next flight 

Hello Pierre!

The Default ATC in the sim is completely unrealistic.  Have you ever considered flying on VATSIM or IVAO?

 

Hi Gerald,

i just tried ´´confirm frequency ´´ and the FO doesn’t seem to understand, i get no reply from him,

hi Dave,

Right now i am flying with PF3 & MCE, i am looking into Vatsim but i red that the coverage for Canada is not great.

My bad. That particular request isn't in yet. Maybe should be added.

There are all sorts of requests you can make with PF3 and related to ATC. Think...

Confirm assigned runway

confirm assigned altitude

confirm assigned heading

confirm speed limit

confirm assigned squawk

confirm atc clearance

Confirm latest wind

etc...

replace "confirm" in sentences above with "what about", "remind me the ", and other variations and you have many more commands available to you.
