Did this occur pre-SU5?

Yes - since I installed FS24 when it was released. I’ve also tried clean installs etc.

There’s also another weird bug - whenever I land at the destination airport - I’m unable to select any other options on ATC once handed over to Ground.

Lastly - another bug, whatever I file the flight plan for (I copy and paste the route from simbreif) - it always adds +1000 to the flight level after I hit the ‘send to atc’ - I’ll file for e.g. FL340, then ATC will instruct me to climb to FL350.

I know this might seem trivial but it’s a bit of an annoying bug!

That phraseology also, so bad…

Thanks. I’ve moved this topic into User Support Hub > ATC, Traffic & NAVAIDs as you say that the issue is not a new SU5 issue, nor a regression, as per:

Feel free to create new bug topics for your other issues you mention in the Sim Update 5 Beta | MSFS 2024 category if they are new in SU5, or a regression.
