I don't know how it happened but I get this strange new blue pane telling me to turn at a certain frequency for radio communications. I never use it but the pane stays with me where ever I fly. I turned off all ATC functions but's still there. Is their a fix for this?\

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

HD can you post a screenie of that blue pane? It doesn't sound familiar.
Your tilde key cycles it on and off.
(the ~ key on the upper left of the keyboard.)
In the menu options......(I know you said you disabled this, but just double check for thoroughness.)
Settings > General > Uncheck all three boxes under the ATC setttings. (boxes are: Show message log in ATC menu, Auto-open ATC window, Use a pilot voice.)
If that doesn't solve it, I'm afraid I'm of no further help.

FSX Commands
HD,
You need to get the commands list ('fsxcmnds.zip', 1.98 mb, at FltSimCom). The whole thing fits on one sheet of paper. Print it out and keep it handy (in case of senior or CRS moments). I can't fly without it.
And for clarification (pardon me) it's the ACCENT and not the tilde that makes 'it' work. To get the tilde would require 'Shift' first. Not so for 'Accent' which is the correct command (key press) in FSX for 'ATC Window (display/hide). I know. Picky me. So sue me (hehe).
