While flying on line, the ābaseā frequency is Unicom 122.80. But MSFS randomly changes this without any input from myself. I think I have the native MSFS ATC turned off, but It looks like a āphantomā AI co-pilot is changing the frequencies, maybe to suit a scenario as if I am using the MSFS ATC.
Probably been asked before, but how do I make sure that MSFS ATC is completely disables?
Thanks
Nobody know how to do this?
Also have the problem, I use saitek radio panel but disconnected that, and checked all key bindings
Can not fly on vatsim due to this, and whatās strange is com2 tunes fine

Go to ASSISTANCE OPTIONS :::PILOTING::::AI RADIO COMMUNICATIONS (ATC) and make sure this is turned OFF
I have ATC and Flight Assistant disabled on the toolbar. I have AI Radio Communications (ATC) turned OFF in Piloting. And yet STILL com 1 will change itself to a frequency to suit local ATC. For instance at EGPF sitting on the ground, 122.80 will change itself to either 129.57 (ATIS for Glasgow) or 121.70 (Ground for Glasgow). It is not aircraft specific and there are NO other mods being run. This is driving me nuts and completely spoiling the otherwise great MSFS experience. Any other suggestions would be gratefully received!

Same problem, when it happens (generally after doing a touch and go!) also changes my squawk code! I can change freq again but as soon as I swap to active it changes back again!

Still same here. Someone has said that there is a āCopilot controls radiosā setting somewhere not connected with āPilotingā but I canāt find it!

Hey,
I am a passionate Flight Simmer, but i have a BIG problem which is not letting me play really. My COM Frequencies are changing all the time! And before Asking I turned OFF the option that AI is doing the ATC by itselfā¦ I asked in multiple Discords and also Forums but no answer found. I want to fly on VATSIM but this is not possible with this problem. Thanks in advance for a hopefully good and helpful respond!
Greetings from Germany

If youāre positive that all the assists are off ( best way to test is change your settings to ātrue to lifeā then you know for certain you have no assists).
Then do you have another keybinding for radios? Does it happen while youāre doing something else?
Iād start with setting true to life and test.
yeah my settings are on True to Life, and it still happens. What binds could change the Frequencies ?

Iām not sure to be honets, thatās why I asked if it changes while you are doing / clicking on other things? Or are you just curising along and it starts to flip around?
If it flipping to actual live / in-use channels and then you hear ATC? or just flipping to dead air?
Seems to have been cured after SU7. Certainly hope so!
Are you still having this issue? Iāve been having the same problem. I fly on VATSIM and itās totally random. Usually happens once or twice a flight and Iāll be totally unaware that Iāve changed frequencies. Iāve gone through all the AI and assistance menus and turned off all assists. Iāve made sure to unbind anything to do with comms from all of my controllers. Itās been going on for a few months now. Really frustrating.

Agreed. Totally frustrating! But (touching everything wooden) my issue seemed to disappear with Sim Update 6. Not aware of changing anything, it just stopped with the update. There is another update, I believe, at the end of January and I hope, for your sake, that the issue disappears for you. I fly with a group of guys on a Friday and I was the only one of several MSFS users who had the issue. So it seems to be absolutely random. Sorry canāt help , and can only wish that the problem disappears like mine did!

Ok thanks for the update.
hello all. I had the issue of my frequency randomly changing on vatsim with AI assist disabled. I know you said you checked your keybinds but for me the problem came when i would use alt+1 or alt+2 to switch to a custom saved camera position (I didnt realize this at first). Do you by any chance use this keybind to switch camera views? When i would use alt+1 it would trigger a command called āATC panel choice 1ā. Check your keyboard binds and makesure āATC panel choiceā is unbound if you are switching between custom camera views.

That is a very interesting response! I donāt think that was my reason for the random switching, I seem to remember it would just do it on itās own accord, and always to a āgenuineā ATC frequency corresponding to the aircraftās present position. But I certainly use Alt+1 to Alt+0 a lot and the next time I run MSFS I will certainly make sure these combinations are not bound to anything else! Thanks a lot for the input!

Yes I do have custom views set and use alt+1,2,etc. I feel like I went through and checked all of my key binds but Iāll go back and check these specifically. Thanks so much for the reply! Iāll report back when I get an opportunity to check it out.
Edit: I found what you were talking about. I donāt have a chance to fly until tonight but if this is itā¦THANK YOU. Itās been driving me crazy. Iāll report back after I fly.
Edit 2: So I did a flight last night but all the ATC went offline right as I departed. I was on unicom for the whole flight but it never switched. Hopefully this was it. Thanks again for the help. Iād been searching all over and this was the first time Iād seen this solution. Really appreciate it.

I have this annoying problem too. I will try to find if the undesired change in radio frequency happens when I change view using alt +1, alt +2, ā¦ I have done some testes changing views a lot of times but the radio didnāt change. So, I am not sure unsinging these ATC keys (1 to 9) will solve the problem.
Update. I have just landed and when got to parking spot, frequency changed and finger connected to airplane as āsome one has asked forā.
