Hello!
First I really enjoy PF3

After the last update I have to issues with PF3
I am using PF3 with P3Dv4

All AI traffic in the air when given instructions reply with say again. every single time. this includes approach, center and departure. This never happened before, but now it happens with every instruction, and in busy airspace it will take extra long time for PF3 to get to my instructions because it is repeating itself to other aircraft.

The second issue is I am now always receiving the same transponder code for each flight 3616. Doesn't matter what aircraft I use or what airport I am departing from. It is always the same code. This used to be random.

Please let me know what needs to be changed to fix these two issues?

thank you

Perhaps an issue with randomisation but please zip and attach the debug_monitor.log file (from your PF3\Logs folder) so Dave can see what is going on.

Okay I attached the files
2 other things have changed as well, but they are not an issue.
1. When in VC mode 2 and a controller would tell me to contact the next controller the VC would auto roger that call and change the frequency. Now I need to roger the call and the VC changes the frequency.

2. When I am taxing to the runway for takeoff and ground tells me to contact tower, Even when I roger that call in VC 2 it doesn't change the frequency for me. If I am in VC mode 3 it will roger the call and change frequency.

These two issue are not need to be fixed, but I thought I would pass them along.

The say again issue and the same transponder code are the two issues I need resolved.

thanks so much for you time and all the latest work on the software.

The 'say again' and 'same trans' issues are something to do with the random seed generator... for some reason it seems to get stuck, for want of a better description. We have seen this once or twice before in the dim and distant past. It cleared itself as quickly as it appeared and I have no idea what causes it. It's certainly not a coding issue and is more a system issue maybe a Windows update. Wish I could be or more help

Well I didn't update anything other than PF3 when it checked for updates.
Do you know if doing a file check on PF3 helps, or doing a system restore back before the PF3 update or the last windows update helps?
I know there is a new windows update, but I haven't done that one yet.

I don't actually think it's anything to do with PF3 Per Se

Just thought I would let you know it fixed itself!

I wish all computer software issues just resolved themselves after a few days.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for reporting back. I knew it would right itself. It certainly is a most bizarre issue.
