March 8Mar 8 Two main issues: - The copilot doesn't always auto-tune the radio to a new frequency when ordered to -Trying to log in to KUSA on the CPLDC page results in a "format error" message, so ACARS messages are not sent or received during the flight

This leads one to believe that BATC has a problem and initially look for the error in the wrong place.

Very often, the new frequency simply isn't applied, and the radio keeps switching back and forth between the old and new frequency. So it is very visible. Are the developers aware of this? Is it being worked on? Are these reports even helpful?

Thank you
May 18May 18 Author The issue is that many times, when ATC says to contact the next frequency, nothing happens. The normal behavior is that your FO will acknowledge the order and then tune the new frequency.
9 hours ago9 hr Noticed this myself. What's worse is that if you use time compression (2x or 4x) it seems to accumulate an error over time and it eventually ends up completely stop working. At some point I even had to restart BATC because with the A300 and time compressed it seems to fail.
