Bug 1: Prior to ATC beginning the STAR clearance to final at the transition fix I am handed off to approach while still at cruise - which is too high to be handed off to approach. I've verified this twice on two separate flights. As I am approaching my STAR transition fix Center now hands me off to Approach which delivers the STAR instructions instead of center giving it. This is more of a distraction than broken functionality because the end result is still the same, however it is strange (and incorrect) to be told to contact approach at FL350 .
Bug 2: This one has always been there but I'm surprised that no one has said anything. During ATC chatter aircraft report that "Airline <x> is out of <altitude>", which is only one half of the required sentence. The correct comms should be "Airline <x> is out of <altitude> for <altitude>." Again, more of a distraction than broken functionality, but every time I hear it I finish the sentence in my head and wonder if this can be programmatically fixed or it is the way it is because it cannot be fixed.
Again, I'm flying in Prepar3d v4 and I don't remember Bug 1 in FSX. Bug 2 is legacy and has always been there through both product evolutions.
