On approach to Canberra in the Sydney region I was contacted by the approach controller twice, but I was out of range. I could not respond to the tower and I was ghosted, I have screenshots to prove it. I feel like the unlucky player in IF.
Yeah the approach controller could call me, but I could not get the frequency. Seems like you have the same problem. Except you didnât get ghosted.

If ATC needs contact that far outside airport airspace, the only way to get the frequency is via direct handoff from the departing airport I believe. Iâm sure Art will shed some light.
And yes @Dashsolpher1 I quickly ended my flight right after the second on guard warning where I realised I couldnât contact approach đ

Hey buddy my apologies if you were out of range. Center was on for a while and I was getting a lot of planes on my frequency that were further away than you so I was wondering why you wouldnât respond to my on guard message. It seemed like you were following your flight plan but then again it might of happened while center left. Iâll reach out to a mod to have it fixed. Can you give me your call sign đŹ

Whatâs with the negativity? It was a simple miscommunication and itâs being resolved in a timely manner. Whatâs your question?

I think @zbelle meant the inflexibility of the game, not you @art_martinez . You did an outstanding job. Well done.
Having to end flight due to irrational fear of being ghosted over a miscommunication, Mostly. The game doesnât give you many outs in these instancesâŚ
As you said, itâs being resolved in a timely matter . :)

For the record.
Just remember, if a ghost is falsely executed, itâs does not effect your flight time or XP for that flight. This means that when its reversed, itâs like nothing has happened, so this fear you have shouldnât be there if your not doing anything wrong. Ghosts are always followed up.
If you want to debate this or take it further hit me up in the DMs.
Good day.

I have had the same issue cpl of days ago with Tom on apprâŚhe was contacting me but i couldnt get the appr freq in drop down boxâŚusually 70nm out u could see the appr freq and 30 nm out u het tower freq in drop downâŚin this occassion i was well inside 60 nm out and didnt see the appr freqâŚwhile talking to Tom it seemed that aircrafts kept dissapearing from radarâŚi ended flight because didnt want to unsettle the sequence he was givingâŚi think its a technical issue there
Dont have to tag himâŚwe had talked about itâŚwas just responding to the topic that it might be a technical glitch in the game and his ghosting could be reversed if the ATC mods think the sameđ
Yeah, it bugs me too when San Diego Center annoys me with the âyouâre in an active airspaceâ while I just took off from LAX
Which server did that happen?
