<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.

I decided to give the Airbus A320neo (V2) a try, but can't seem to find a key binding to the overhead panel. I normally fly the 737 and ATR, and can access the overhead with a Ctrl+ number key combination. The default A320neo also has this capability. How do V2 flyers quickly access the overhead? Thanks..

Sorry for the late update. It did.. ☺️

There's an app on flightsim.to called FS202 Control that will produce a list. You can only export one device at a time, but it will write those to PDF or Excel files. You would need to export each control separately. Also, it might include some default settings that you're not using, but export in Excel and you can delete those that aren't applicable.

IGNORE THE ABOVE.. I decided to not fight it and bought a higher resolution/refresh rate monitor with G-Sync Now to see if it solves it.

I installed a PNY RTX 4070 a few days ago. My old card was a GTX 1080 FTW2 and I had Vsync set to OFF with no tearing issues. After installing the new card I immediately faced with tearing issues. As a result I turned Vsync ON to resolve the issue. I set MSFS using the GeForce Experience recommended setting, which are below, but was hoping that a current 4070 user could share their setting recommendations or possible solutions or reasons to/for the tearing issue. I'm using a LG 60Hz monitor and have the Max Frame Rate in NVCP set to 57 so that I don't overdrive the monitor. I've tried going back to the settings that I used with the GTX 1080, but still get tearing with Vsync OFF. Thanks.. common?

No Chaseplane for MSFS 2024 unless Asobo opens up the Camera SDK. That's one of the reasons there was no Chaseplane for 2020. No idea if the native cameras are better in 2024 than 2020.

Point taken, but in terms of issues, etc. 2020 and 2024 are separate simulators. In the end it's the people who run AVSIMs decision, so..

To those in charge; This has already been mentioned, but 2020 and 2024 really need separate threads. Mainly because it's going to be really hard to find 2020 posts among all of the 2024 chatter and there will be users who stay with 2020 even once 2024 is released. Keeping them together is similar to having FSX and P3D in the same forum Thanks..

Are the aircraft controlled by VATSIM and visible in VAT-Spy?

I don't fly steam gauge very often, but just tried it on the default C152 and no luck. It looks the feature may be electronic panel only. Your option may very well be Air Manager unless someone else has another suggestion.
