For a number of flights now, when I connect PF3 and make my first connection, nothing happens. I still have a 'bug', in that every (perhaps) one in ten flights, though connected, nothing ever happens in response to keyboard inputs and I have to shut down PF3 and start again (have posted about this, but no fix as nothing recorded in PF3 log).
This is different though, in that I do eventually get a response, but it can be a minute or more later. So.. (example): tuned to clearance (or ground) and when ready, click on the keyboard shortcut to ask for clearance. No 'beep' (I have PF3 to emit a beep, so I know a request has been received). I wait, and wait.. nothing. But suddenly (often as I am en route to shutting down PF3 and trying again) I get a vocal response - no 'beep' but an answer from ATC, and then all goes fine. But this can be one to even two minutes later. Why the long delay? After so long, I assume PF3 hasn't connected for some reason (especially as I don't get the confirming 'beep'. Maybe the log shows something?
Thanks!
