<rant mode on> I thought the use of tags was supposed to make it easier to separate 2020 and 2024 content. Digging though untagged message for 2020 related information and most are untagged 20204 information. If we aren't going to have separate forums then could we please try to put some effort into something as simple as adding a tag to the message? <rant mode off> Thank you..

That's embarrassing.. Button was lit up, which is why I could hear, but the CALL button above the knob wasn't depressed which is why I couldn't contact.. What's more embarrassing is the video that you posted is how I first learned about the VHF1 knob many months ago. Thanks so much for the second prod..

Thanks, but unfortunately that's not the issue. As I mentioned in my post I can successfully listen to ATIS and hear other aircraft that is on clearance, which means VHF1 is activated.

This is a cry for help regarding the iniBuilds A320neo V2. I've posted on iniBuilds with no response yet. I also found a thread on forums.flightsimulator which describes a similar issue, but none of the suggestions have worked. The problem seems to have surfaced after the last update to either MSFS 2020 or the A320neo V2 because it was working in late September. No matter what I try I cannot get the default ATC to react to 'Request IFR clearance' using either a key or mouse press. I have tried SimBrief created flight plans, as well as MSFS flight planner generated GPS, Low Altitude, High Altitude routes, and departure airport only. Combined with the previous, I have imported SimBrief into the FMGS as well as created my own and even tried an empty flight plan on the FMGS before attempting to contact ATC. I have no issue with ATIS and once I click on the 'Contact Clearance' I can hear clearance talking with other aircraft, but I am unable to contact them. I do not have the issue with any other aircraft, so that's even more baffling. There might not be a solution, but any suggestion is appreciated because the A320neo V2 is worthless to me as is and I really did enjoy flying it. Thanks, Ernie

It would be nice if MS would just get off their butt and post the previous update for the PMDG 737 to the marketplace.. The take away with the update issue is that I will no longer be purchasing third party aircraft from the marketplace if it's available from the developer regardless if it's higher priced.

Ideally every message should have a tag to aid with searching and quick look. Selectively using tags per the suggestion just results in inconsistency.

Please take advantage of the tag option and specify whether your message is related to MSFS2020 or MSFS2024. Less then 50% of the posts have an indication of what simulator the message is referencing. Thank you..

Thanks. Did the first part yesterday, but missed the third part, which was the most important.. Ernie

It's been a while since I've done it but darned if I can remember how. How do I undock or pop-out the map portion of LNM? Thanks..

MSFS 2020 was the future when it was released and yet we still have FSX and FS9 forums. Sometimes the future isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

The official MSFS forum has separate tag options. Unfortunately, it hasn't stopped users from posting in the wrong forum or using both MSFS2020 & MSFS2024 tags. Having said that I would prefer separate forums since I'm still using MSFS2020.

The thread title immediately brought back memories of the punch line to the old 'Microsoft Sex Joke'. 😀

It's happened more than once to me. Sometimes, making sure that the gust lock isn't engaged and then goosing the throttle a bit gets the aircraft moving. Other times.. restart.

Pilot's makes an ATR 72? Can only find the Dash 7 on their site.

I also have the Logitech/Saitek throttle quadrant. In Controls Options I created a separate profile for my quadrant for the PMDG 737-800. Both the throttle and propeller levers are specified as Throttle 1 Axis and Throttle 2 Axis, so that I can control each engine independently. The Mixture lever is assigned under 'Flight Control Surfaces -> Secondary Control Surfaces' as Spoilers Axis. The 'Reverse Axis' option is unchecked on the Spoiler Axis. Full forward stows the speed brake. Moving it down takes it out of the stowed position and farther down moves it. You have to visually confirm the 50%, Flight Detent and Up positions since the quadrant doesn't have indents.
