In 2020, the ATC window will show all available ATC communication choices.
See all 10 selections visible:
In 2024, only four choices are displayed and the user is forced to use a small, awkward scroll bar to see all available choices.
See only 4 choices + scroll bar:
This UI change has made using the built-in ATC far more cumbersome and frustrating.
Please revise the ATC window to “self-expand/contract” to show ALL available ATC choices.

and please, add the option to speed up (at least twice) atcs and pilots, they talk too slow.

Wish the ATC window in 2024 could be made resizable in an update like it was in 2020.

And please give us a keyboard command to close the ATC window (strangely enough, there is just one to open it).

I’ve been advised to use the “Open Communications Panel” keybinding instead of “Display ATC”. Even though it says “Open” it is actually a toggle.

I’ve found the right key; search for “communication”, is the one that open the communication window;

Confirmed! Makes me wonder what different use there can be for the Display ATC command..
Once again, the Community has to solve what shouldn’t even need solving.

Not a solution, since you need to buy AAO. Sorry, I’m not paying €25 to get rid of minor inconvenience.

And? 90% of those are for StreamDeck, thus useless for most users. And apart from that, it’s just “scripts” that are already present in FSUIPC thanks to Mobi, no need for further downloads
Wait. So there is a „communication“ command to open the atc window and that window is then displayed properly like before in 2020? I know that I mapped „open atc“ so far and that broken window drives me crazy since 2024 was released
EDIT found both commands, none is working to display the ATC window properly

But no way to close it. If you search for display ATC you can also attach a command, but you have to manually close it which is so frustrating
Open ATC works for me as toggle
They definitely need to overhaul this useless UI. We should make the devs do a livestream with only an Xbox controller so they can see how bad it is.

It’s horrible and now we have several million helipads effectively unusable.
