Manual ifr planning

Hi Simmers, I’m loving the sim. Whenever I take a ifr flight On the airbus after planning it on the main menu flight planner, once I arrive at the destination, I can no longer contact the tower, it will only let me contact ground services. I would like to be able to manually plan an ifr flight through the fms system so that I can turn the plane back around and return to the original airport. Is this a bug? Does anyone know how to activate an ifr flight plan on the fms so that the atc will be contactable? Thanks

Good question.

I have not tried this myself yet, however, I think we can work around this:

  • Planning the flight in the main menu.
  • Writing down the path being set.
  • Cancelling the flight path and just launching from where we want to start.
  • Then using the in-cockpit navigation to setup the same course.

That way when we are done, I hope it does not have the same issue, and we can reverse course.

Thanks mate, hopefully realism improves in the future
