Happy New Year everyone!

While somebody is celebrating, somebody is flying :D
I am trying to get some new experiences with PF3 flying to uncontrolled airports, but every time having problems with landings.
Not sure is this the problem with P3D, but when I reach last point and approach gives me last instruction it says contact Unicom at 0.0

Co pilot is in mode 2 and it should handle radios, but he does nothing. Obviously, it's not possible to tune to 0.0
So I was trying to contact somewhere manually.
When pressing key ` to open ATC window in P3D it gives me option "tune ESNG traffic on 122.9 and when I do that no hot keys are working.
But when checking map it shows other frequency for FSS in that airport and it's 122.1 same as I can find in PF3 Displayer.
Tuned to that, tried to announce position but it requested control centers frequency.
I've seen few topics about flying to uncontrolled airports, but could not find solution for my case.
Debug file attached, but ending is complete wrong, so I just landed and finished the flight.

Sorry but PF3 version 3.9 is no longer supported. PLease update to 3.10.2 and retry this flight. If you still have problems then report back with a new log and I'll take a look.

Hi Dave,

As recommended I have updated to last version. Unfortunately "check for updates" didn't work, so did it manually by downloading cumulative setup program. Looks like everything worked fine.

So back to the same flight now. Unfortunately still same issue.
Approach is telling me to contact Unicom at 0.0
For me it looks like P3D problem, but anyway, attaching debug file for your review.

Thank you. I have actually been looking into this tonight and can see where the problem is. The simple workaround for you, till the next hotfix, is to create a Unicom facility for the airport in question. Just go to Options #2 then Add New Facility and follow the onscreen instructions. However, with the next release PF3 will temporarily add a Unicom facility to your destination airport if there isn't currently one available.
