ATC greyed out in Toolbar

Featured Replies

Greetings all!!

Newbie here and this is my first post!  I hope that everyone is enjoying MSFS2020 as much as I am.

For some reason though, I cannot enable ATC in the toolbar. It is greyed out and the "Tower icon" is missing from the toolbar.

I can hear ATC and when I let the AI control ATC Comms, the AI calls my tail number and the AI responds back to ATC.

I cannot for the life of me find a setting to fix this.

I have gone through the forums looking for the issue, and have even tried a couple of fixes for similar issues (Weather missing), but to no avail.  I have even tried the "Windows Offline" trick to see if that helped.  Nope!

Anyway, if anyone has an ideas or knows what I may have missed, I would appreciate the help!

Thanks!

Scott

Resolved my problem.  If anyone else runs into this issue, just go to Assistance, User Experience - and make sure that you set everything to EASY. Go in each sub item and make sure that everything is set to "ON".  Fire up a plane and complete a flight, then change the settings back to whatever you desire.

Happy Flying!

Not sure how that fixed it. but it did!  I am betting we both followed some youtube video how to get higher frame rates and we got to this place. Anyhow from a long time Avsim member. Thank you for registering and thank you for posting. I typed this problem into google and found your answer. It was broken the past 3 days for me.

 

ATC PANEL greyed out Flight simulator 2020 is what I searched for.

Hey Capt. John!

I wish I could have found it on YouTube.  I searched high and low and found nothing. I was just playing around turning everything on here and there and trying again and VIOLA...it worked.  Glad it worked for you too!!

Take care,
