No, why? You guys never address these issues. I still have 15+ unresolved, but marked Complete, bugs. Most of them since the initial release A YEAR AGO.

The linked video actually identifies possibly three bugs.
Bug 1: Upon take-off, Comms automatically switch to Departure frequency after handoff from tower.
Bug 2: Departure assigns altitude lower than IFR clearance, 2700ft in this case.
Bug 3: If surpassing this erroneous low altitude (2700ft), ATC repeatedly request expedite descent to that altitude.
Bug3 note: If this process is performed at a busy airport, it is highly probable that you will surpass the low altitude before Departure assigns that altitude. Descent to that altitude is totally bogus and would not happen IRL.
Bug, AI miscalculation, whatever you want to call it. It is likely related to other altitude bugs reported here and there.

Yep i get cleared initially to say 13,000 feet,then on take off once i reach past 2,000 feet.ATC comes through and asks me to decend to 2,000 feet.

Absolutely agree with OP. Out of KJAX bound for KHOU just now, Ground Clearance told me “Takeoff and climb to 12,000 feet.” As soon as I was wheels up, I was requested to retune Jacksonville Tower (? I had never switched frequency), and then Jacksonville Departure (?) came on and told me to descend to 2,000 feet. Get it together, ATC!

Could we please keep bug reports focused on single issues. ATC voices cutting out is a separate issue.

I don’t mean to imply it’s not an issue, just a separate one.
