:) Hi !

            I have this problem with the ATC where nothing is said.I say that I will be departing west,it doesnt respond.It responds with .Follow __________<<(Information),and when I tune in for landing,it just says _____<<(my call number),make _______(<

          Also,when I takeoff,I don't know why,I blast off like a fighter jet,the vertical speed is like crazy and I stall all over.I didn't set the pitch trim but just my autopilot to 3800.Why is that?


Thank you very much.

As a rule of thumb, I never activate the autopilot until after I have reached over about 1000 ft radar alt.  The autopilot in FS seems to have a bit of trouble with the fine tuning of the pitch trim at low speeds/low altitudes.

As for the ATC problem, it seems like the information for your airports is missing.  This sounds to me like corrupted files.  My first instinct in this kind of situation is to do a full reinstall.

This is all my own conjecturing, so I would get another opinion before doing anything like a reinstall.
