Recently if I fly VFR with no flight plan, ATC will talk to me and give me option until I get out of the airspace and then it asks me to contact the general area frequency. I have no option to contact any airport tower in the area. Nay help??? |

Did you try pressing the accent ` button to view if there is a list of any airports or centers to contact? |

Yes.... I am flying in the chicagoland area. When ATC tells me I am leaving the airspace and I need to contact Chicago center I am only allowed to choose "open or create an IFR plan" I used to be able to request flight following, or select an airport from a list. |

I actually got it to work again. I was flying off of a saved default file. I erased the file and chose to fly from a certain airport. It is working again. |
