I've found suggestions on the official MSFS flight simulator forum regarding this issue, but none have worked for me.
I can request and receive ATIS and if I tune clearance I can hear the controller interacting with other aircraft. However, I can’t get default ATC to respond to my key or mouse presses when I click on the ‘Request IFR Clearance’ prompt.
I’ve tried loading a Simbrief flight plan on the main menu. Manually inputting the dest/arr and letting MSFS create the plan, etc. Inside the aircraft I’ve imported a plan to the tablet, not imported a plan to the table. Created a plan in the FMSG, not creating a plan, and imported the Simbrief plan.
I honestly can’t think of anything that I haven’t or could try, so if someone has some suggestions I would appreciate it. Not being able to get an IFR clearance really affects my flying with live traffic.
BTW, this problem seems unique to the A320neo V2.
Thanks,
Ernie
