For some unknown reason, ATC stops responding when switching from ground to tower before takeoff. I’ve checked that the frequency is tuned both in P2A and MSFS. But there is nothing, no reply from ATC after that point.. Neigther speking myself or via the speak-it feature. This has happened on every flight the last 2 days or so. Today I suddenly got told to let atc know when I was ready to taxi, about 2 hours after I departed(!) and during my approach to destination. Very strange behaviour, and I can’t see the reasoning. I haven’t added anything to the sim that I can think of. Last thing I added about a week ago was the atc chatter files that are in beta atm(but via the external program, didn’t try to get it to sync with P2A) and some new IVONA voices  -which also triggered my curiosity as suddenly most of my Microsoft voices that I had set up in the random controller option now are gone as well..? The only ones I had before that work are MS David and Zira  the rest seem to have vanished!?  the name set in the option is still there, but there is no sound when hitting test.  I ended up deleting them all and just using the ones I did get a response from and the IVONA ones, but that was strange as well  

if I request flight following some time after departure that seems to work somewhat, but I don’t get vectored 

The whole  program seems to have bugged out on me and it feels unstable and inconsistent without me understanding if I did something or I need to reinstall or what..

any ideas? - are there log-files that could give a indication on what is going on?

It sounds like something with the voices is causing the program to hang.

P2A Log files are located in: C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\P2A_200\Logs where <UserName> is your PC user name. 
Portions of the path may be hidden by default, so be sure Windows Explorer has Show Hidden Items checked in the View tab.
A new one is created each time you start Pilot2ATC, and is closed when you shut it down. So if you take the most recent one after you have the error and after you shut down P2A, you should have the correct one.  
 

When you are getting VFR Flight Following, that does not include any vectoring.  It only will give you alerts for traffic near you.  It's up to you to navigate to your destination.  You are still flying VFR.

I think it might have been an issue with voices like you pointed out. After removing all the missing voices, I didn’t experience the issue on my last test.
Will try another today and see how it goes. Thanks for your support.
