Hi,
after the latest update I had a problem with a flight that I had done with the previous versions without experiencing any problems (without changing any PF3 configuration or modifying the imported flight plan). After reaching 14000 feet, my cruising altitude, I started to receive continuous hand-offs from the current 135.52 frequency to the same frequency, in a pattern that was repeated in an infinite loop. "Toronto Center, Papa Alpha 34 is with you level at 14 thousand", "Papa Alpha 34 Roger, altimeter is 1014", "Papa Alpha 34 Contact Toronto Center on 135.52", "Roger 135.52, Papa Alpha 34", "Toronto Center, Papa Alpha 34 is with you level at 14 thousand"... and so on seamlessly and without pause. After more than half an hour from the beginning of the loop I disconnected PF3.
I attach the logs.

I had a similar issue, but with hand off to approach.
I figured out, that it was a setting "Hand off to approach distance" in PF3 what was causing it. If it was set higher then zero, what is a default, it would always aske me to contact approach in a loop.
Well yours is not approach, but it's worth to check that setting, maybe it's related.
Here's a link to my post about it if you fancy to read.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have the Handoff distance option set to default (check-box not checked).

Well there certainly does seem to be a slight problem which I think may be linked to requesting a 'direct to', but I need to investigate further. When it was stuck in this loop you weren't actually contacting Toronto center each time by using Hotkey #0, were you?

Hello Dave,
no, I never pressed the Hotkey #0.

I'm still unable to find the cause of your issue, unfortunately, so I would like you to go to Options #1 in PF3 then in the lower left corner set your Debug Level to '4'. If the problem should happen again then please let me see your debug log
