Actually, there is one piece of information that I have omitted in my initial post which points at some non-standard feature in the A340-600 Pro, possibly in the transponder setting. The AI assisted readback/radio handling works just for the first radio contact (the one with the clerance and the transponder code). For this first time, the AI Pilot reads back the clerance but does not set the transponder code. After that, radio silence and I have to handle radio myself.
I have also tried to start with AI radio off, reading back clearance and setting the transponder manually and then activating the Ai-radio, but it made no difference: no read back nor radio action by the AI Pilot. Manual interaction - receiving and reading back instructions - works normally though.
All other stock and add-on planes work fine.
Very very strange.
