ATC requires "Clearance for Destination FP" to start communicating

Free flight, EKCH at Gate C29, parked all-off, starting engines, loading FLP from web planner, File Plan with ATC, Send Route to Avionics, click EXEC
I get nowhere with ATC myself or AI
No attempt to contact ATC does anything but a flip-flap between 2 channels

When I then choose Request IFR Clearance for Instrument FP

I get things working !!

Doesn’t IFR FP normally refer to FIX POINT in approach?
Would FLP help me and others?

I may have soled it for myself, but others might be stuck there…

Hi @MvonR ,

Thank you for this report. We’ve moved your topic into the User Support Hub.

The Bug Reporting Hub is for posting suspected or confirmed bugs that other users are able to reproduce without duplicating an existing bug report. Using the template or providing all the relevant information about your bug and sim setup is required in order to provide valuable information, feedback, and replication steps to our test team.

If you are not sure if your issue is a bug or need further input from the community, please use the User Support Hub category. If the community can replicate your issue, first search the Bug category to see if there’s an existing topic. If it already exists, contribute to that report. Duplicate bug reports will be closed.

If you believe it is a new report and no duplicate exists, then create a new bug topic using the provided topic template.

All issues caused by or involving third-party addons/mods should be reported to the third-party developer. Assure that no addons/mods are used when reporting issues in Bug Reports.

IFR FP refers to your Flight Plan, not to any point on your route/approach/etc. You might be thinking of IAP or IP (Initial Approach Point), or the FAF (final approach fix). There’s more “alphabet soup” points also (MAP, VDP, etc).
