Hi Dave

Tried twice now with MSFS but request lower by 9000ft (L9) no longer works. The Co-Pilot now requests maintain current FL. For example at FL290 requesting FL200 the L9 key combo now produces 'TopSwiss 1151 requesting maintaining FL290' instead of the usual 'Requesting FL200. This morning LFSB-EKCH I got initial descent by ATC from FL370 to FL330 then nothing and so I called for lower. I got the above request from my Co-Pilot and an acknowledgement from ATC and then no further descent. I went down anyway and received nothing further until 'Proceed on the MONA2E arrival I'll have traffic for you' and then eventually the 'descend to 3,000 cleared for the ILS 04L. Everything worked fine after landing with taxy instructions to F5.

Logs attached

Cheers

Rob

I think FSUIPC has become a bit twitchy with regard these particular hotkeys.. try pressing the numeric key quicker or even 'slightly' before the L key

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

I'll try that Dave. On another issue in MSFS PF3 ATC is not giving the pressure in millibars even though that box is checked in settings. 3006 instead of 1018.

Without a log it didn't happen! ;)

If you want to attach a log I'll take a look but without one I have no answer for you, sorry.

Later: Or did that occur in the log you attached above?
