FBW A320 NEO Transponder

[bigbadvuk]

Why is it dead and non responsive suddenly?
I havent tried game for few weeks, and now transponder is not taking code inserted in.
ANY ideas?

Did you switch it ON and also ACTIVE? It has 2 switches by memory unless I'm thinking of Boeing.

I checked, and rechecked and then checked again. Yes it has been definitely on and im using stable version.

It isnt end of the world, and bug appeared only after latest update, so im guessing they will fix it in next update.

2 SWITCHES =
1. MIDDLE LEFT ON AUTO OR ON
2. SET TA when TAXI then TA/RA at HOLDING SHORT for Collision Avoidance (but the TA/RA was causing issues with other things in the past)
May need lower left ALT ON now also.

Thank you for trying to help me, but i have been flying FBW 320 since day 1, and i have been in flying sims and in RL since 1985 i KNOW how to set up transponder and how to pace it through the taxi/flight phases.

THING doesnt work for some reason!

Did you switch the COMMS KNOB ON to illuminate so you can access the game's NAV TOOL BAR for requesting Clearance, Pushback & TAXI? One of these Planes needed this lately else you just get the Mouse Flickering and can not get COMMS to function otherwise.

So when even though you may see the XPDR CODE it will not INPUT until you have CONFIRMED that CODE to ATC by turning COMMS KNOB TO ON so you push it to GLOW and turn the Volume 1 Knob up full. I had that before but know about it when it happens again.

SO once COMMS is ON you must CONFIRM the SQUAWK CODE back to ATC and then INPUT IT with all those SWITCHES SET also. Else you can not even INPUT it.

*Frankly the INIBUILDS A320 v2 is a much nicer version and has a more pleasant TILLER. It only lacks in other areas but still is a better option and is the one used in MSFS2024 also as it works for XBOX also. The FBW A380 is as much a let down for the Tiller control and just a dog's dinner of an FMC frankly.

I wasnt able even to enter digits in transponder, it was completely broken.
Removing FBW A320Neo and reinstalling it fixed issue.

Thank you for trying to help.
