Absolutely no rush, but I'd love to know why I got no landing clearance (and subsequent ATC instructions) until well after I was on the ground. Is there something in the current beta that caused this? Or was it me? I am in Mode 2 though and am so used to relying on 'my co-pilot' (VCP) to deal with ATC at that stage of the flight, whilst I land the plane (as, I suppose, is fairly realistic) that once I am established on the localizer and descending to FAF, I often don't pay all that much attention to what PF3 is telling me (telling the VCP, that is!) - I assume that PF3 will automate everything; as it usually does. So what went wrong here (just in case it's something that needs fixing 'your end')? Thanks!

You didn't get landing clearance because you landed on the wrong runway. You were cleared for approach to runway 01:

22-Oct-23 10:27:15 PM: 980 - Transcript: 'Link 1955 Alpha at Oscar Kilo Lima Alpha Sierra Descend and maintain 2 thousand Cleared to final for Sierra Tango Approach runway 01 when ready Contact Tower on 118.1 when established. '

but you decided to land on 19, without requesting a runway change. VCP will contact Tower when you are lined up on final for the ASSIGNED runway, so if you want to land on a different runway you need to request a runway change.

Thank you for looking (and apologies) Dan! I clearly forgot to change the setting in PF3 before I started the flight on that occasion, and then didn't pick up on the landing instruction to the 'wrong' (as I'd have seen it) runway.
