ATC Automatically Changes Frequency and Squawk Code

Whilst in free flight, either offline or logged onto vatsim, my simulator keeps changing the frequency and squawk code on it’s own.

I have already tried the following:

  • Restart the simulator
  • Checked that the AI ATC options are all off under assistance settings
  • Disabled Character Voices volume
  • Tried default and 3rd party aircraft
  • Toggled ATC AI options from off to on and back off

Anybody else had this issue? It’s impossible to fly on VATSIM like this!

Mine doesn’t change anything automatically as long as I set the transponder or radio before clicking the ATC response option that tells it to change frequencies or squawk. I set the squawk manually with the G1000 and change freq with the Logitech radio panel or by using the G1000.

Sometimes I just click the ATC response and then it will change automatically.

At least on the page you posted my settings are the same. Not sure what other settings might be involved.

Thanks for the reply, however I don’t even use the built in ATC panel in the sim, in fact I have disabled it altogether.

Ok it turns out I hadn’t removed all keybinds and even though I had AI ATC turned off and the communication panel disabled, the keybinds bound to ATC PANEL CHOICE were still working in the background resulting in unwanted ATC changes.

To fix: disable ATC PANEL CHOICE keybinds which by default are set to 1-2-3-4 etc on the keyboard
