ATC Options have no text and make Auto Response in Career stuck only in Chinese and Japanese client

This issue seems to be fixed in today’s beta build (1.5.18)!

But it also seems that some airport scenery can cause this issue as well.
When enabled ZBAA airport scenery from WF Scenery Studio, spawn at ZBAA, and the ATC menu will show blank options.
After disabling that package, this issue is resolved.

I don’t know if this is related to the scenery package or if there is still some related bug.

Besides that, I have tried RJTT, EGLL, and TNCM, all work fine with no issues.

When enabled ZBAA from WF Studio.

When not enabling that package.

EGLL, no issue.

More tests

KJFK default scenery, there is one blank option.

KLAX default scenery, there are many blank options.

ZPPP with SamScene (Marketplace) installed. Missing 2 options.


ZPSM with defalt scenery, works okay.


ZUTF with default scenery. It seems the problem may not be relevant to the 3rd party addons. ZUTF is a newly built large international airport. Option 1,2,3,6,7,8 are missing.


ZUCK with SamScene (SimMarket) addon installed. Missing 2 options.


ZGGG with no addon, works okay. ZGGG is a large intl airport and has been the busiest airport in the world in 2020.


ZBAA with WFSS addon (Orbx) installed. Missing Option 1,3 and 4.


ZSHC with no addon, works fine.


OMDB with Asobo handmade addon, works fine.


EDDM with world update handmade addon, works fine.


YBBN with iniBuilds addon (Marketplace), missing option 1,2,3.


NZAA with FlightBeam addon (Contrail), works fine. So it also may not be relavant to 3rd party addons.

EGKK with free flightsim.to addon, works fine.

I confirmed each ATC screen’s blank selection for Japanese bug has been fixed at SU4 Beta 1.6.21 . Thank you for your bug fix teams prompt action to resolve this bug.

Tested in 1.6.21: ZBAA with WF Scenery, KJFK & KLAX all fixed!

Tested in 1.6.22.0 with default ZUTF and WFSS ZBAA, now working fine.

This issue was fixed in the latest MSFS 2024 update (SU4), but remains in MSFS 2020.

This bug of Japanese also still happens in msfs2020 current version
