aheadwarp9 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I leave a towered airport with ATC. Class D airport. Tower switches you over to approach ATC which is correct. In the ATC window I only have the option to file an IFR flight plan. I want to fly to other nearby airport with ATC. If I tune the radio to the tower freq. that I want to land, I have no way of communicating, there are no communication choices in the ATC window. I tried filing a VFR flight plan but that doesn't help. What am I doing wrong? FSX basically stock New Computer FSX patches installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So, after takeoff and tower hands you off to Approach/Departure ATC, isn't here an option for nearest or farther airport or even flight following in your ATC screen? I might have to give it a try! You should be getting an ATC screen like this: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aheadwarp9 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Yes, exactly. I leave KFRG , Get handed off to Approach and only get '1-Open IFR flight plan.' I can't even get back intouch with FRG tower. I can tune it and listen, but not communicate. I should see what you get in your pic. I'm doing real flight training and fly out of FRG so it would be really helpful if I could get this to work. Using A2A Cessna 172. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I just tried a test using KFRG as departure and destination airport, VFR. ATC thinks I am planning to do a touch and go. After clearance and takeoff, They give me clearance for the T&G and I acknowledge but then immediately cancel the T&G. I then get my options of 1. Flight Following 2. Create IFR Flight Plan 3. Nearest/Farthest Airports. Try it in a default 172 and see if you get the same results over the A2A 172. I am assuming you are using Default ATC? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

aheadwarp9 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I just tried a test using KFRG as departure and destination airport, VFR. Did you file a flight plan for this? If I choose "remain in pattern" Im ok. If I choose any kind of departure direction and leave its game over. How did you cancel touch and go I will try it in the Default 172 and Yes im useing default ATC. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help Yes I'm using a flight plan. Departure is KFRG and arrival is KFRG. VFR, low altitude. When ATC says OK for the touch and go, I acknowledge the instruction and then cancel the touch and go. The next list that appears is 1. Flight Following 2. Create IFR Flight Plan 3. Nearest/Farthest Airports. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
