Hi, I am still having trouble with this. I was approaching destination and was told to contact 118.7. When I hit the 1 key for initial check in for landing, the commands available for comm frequency currently active went blank. I manually retuned to 118.7 a number of times and the same thing happened. I am running the latest version and I thought I read somewhere that this was fixed. Maybe it is me.

I then looked up the destination approach freq and checked in. As I got to the airport, I received no further instructions, landing runway etc.

Debug monitor attached.

Thanks for looking at this.
John

When you say you manually retuned to 118.7 a number of times, why did you do that? Had your COM radio changed?

Sorry Dave, I forgot to mention that I had to manually re tune to 118.7 because as soon as the comms available screen went blank, the comms freq automatically changed itself to the previous frequency. I then manually changed it to 118.7, however the process just repeated itself.

Ah right. That's because you have the msfs pilot assist options set to tune your radios. So when that happens PF3 goes blank as it doesn't recognize the frequency. You need to turn the option off in msfs

What aircraft are you using? I am to remember one of the msfs default aircraft had a similar issue a while back, don't know if that was ever fixed though.

PF3 definitely doesn't mess with the radios unless you have it set for your vcp to do so then it will only happen when ATC hand you off, so something else is the culprit here.
