Thanks for the log and the files. Your PF3 Display does not seem to be populating with the correct frequency so I think we will need to wait for Dave to take a look. In the meantime you can try Standard VFR flight, which requires you to actually follow your flight plan (hit your waypoints) but you will be handed from one ATC facility to the next and in CP Mode 2 your VCP will make contact. When you reach your last waypoint you should be handed to destination Approach. More info on p. 109 of the User Guide. If that doesn't work there may be some issues with your configuration but again we'll need to wait for Dave to take a look.

According to the last log you submitted the Approach frequency was actually 125.55, but you were tuned to 122.40 then 122.32. Next time you load this flight please let me see a copy of your PF3_Freqs.dat file, which you will find inside the PF3_Display folder which in turn will have been created inside your main FS folder. When using MSFS you may have to do a search for that file as the path will be slightly different for each installation.

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for assisting Dan and I to figure this one out. I believe the attached file is what you are looking for.

Dave or Dan,
any progress on this? It happened again going into KEBV and the PF3 Display gave the same approach frequency as at the other airport 122.4. Please advise.

Please recreate the problem but first, go to options '1 and set your debug level (bottom left) to '4'

Once the flight is complete and you've closed PF3 please attach the log file

Hi Again,
Here's the log. Same problem, no respose from PF3 ATC. Tampa does respond to inputs "0" and "9". but does not providing any useful information. Why would I go to 125.55? It is not on the PD3 Display (still 122.4) nor is it on my KBKV airport charts: neither is it on Tampa KTPA which is the ATC I hear communicating with other aircraft. Happy 4th of July :D
