Hello everyone, since the upgrade to 3.10, I have encountered what I believe to be a bug: The static background noise doesn't end with the transmission. The sound keeps playing in a loop, even over the following transmissions, which then have two background noises. I believe it's always the same noise that has this problem. Has anyone else seen (or heard) this? Will the log files help in this case?

Kind regards,

Dimitrios

Can't say I remember anyone ever reporting this. Have you tried turning the Radio Noise Volume (Options #2) right down, just to be sure it is what's causing the issue?

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

I'll check on the next occasion, but what I can say now is that it goes away as soon as I end PF3 - disconnecting from the sim isn't sufficient.

I don't doubt it's PF3 I just wanted to know if it's the static noise from an ATIS station or ATC Trx

Ah, ok. It doesn't manifest until mid-flight, but could it be a random ATIS freq en route? I can look through the sound files to try and find it.

That's possible, in which case the debug log should pick it up so please attach one next time it happens and try to help pinpoint at what part of the flight it occurs

Thank you... can you point me in an approximate direction as to when it occurred because it's a very big log :(

I noted “124.25“, so it must have happened while switching to or while on that frequency. Hope that checks out!

Hi Dimitrios - Yes this sounds identical to what I described in my own posts. As a note to both you and Dave - I have not experienced it again in the last 5-6 flights I've taken. Does it still happen to you Dimitrios?
