Beta 7H

Co-pilot managing radios. Stand manually set in INFO before landing.

ATC seems not to recognize the co-pilot read back. See Below:

TWR:       Ground on One Two One Decimal Seven Five SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven; 
Me:         Bodo Ground SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven Request Taxi to the Gate; 
GND:       SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven  Taxi to  Stand one nine Via taxiways Delta,  
               ~  Taxi to  Stand one nine Via taxiways Delta,   SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven
Co-pilot: Taxi to Stand One Nine via Taxiways Delta SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven; 
ATC:       SCANDINAVIAN Four Seven Seven  Taxi to  Stand one nine

Beta 7H. 
Co-pilot managing the radios.
After a request to leave frequency to check weather and coming back on frequency the co-pilot issues a check in message rather than a back on frequency message.

Hi

Im currently testing the Beta 7B an run into an issue with vectoring.
My flight plan is ENVA/09-KVB-VIG-ENAL/24. No approach set. The VOR VIG near the airport is situated just on the other side of the airport in the relation to my flight plan.
I get a message to Expect vectors to the ILS approach rwy 24 and then nothing happens until I'm well past the start of the approach, near VOR VIG. Then I'm vectored all the way back to the approach start. (That I just passed...)

In Beta 6 I got vectors to ILS Approach rwy 24 long before the VOR VIG, without actually have to fly to VOR VIG before vectoring starts. I think that behavior make more sense.

I have been flying ENAL-VIR-FLO-FLS-ENBR and ENBR-FLS-FLO-VIR-ENAL a couple of times lately and I have had the exact same problem every time. ATC starts vectoring me and telling me to stay on FL120 (My cruise altitude.). After a while I get instructions to descend to FL110 and way to late I get instructions to descend to 5000 ft. (Trying enroute-descent and change FL requests has been ignored or denied by ATC)

In order to make the flight I have cheated and start the descent to 5000 when instructed to descend to FL110 without any nagging from ATC when below FL110. I will get the descent instruction to 5000 at the same place as when I follow ATC instructions.
