I’m trying to open the ATC window through SimConnect but somehow am unable to do so. I’ve tried unsuccessfully these 2 event:
I’m using the python SimConnect library, so the issue might be with the library, but the event ATC_MENU_1 works just fine.
Could anyone please verify this? Thanks a lot!

I can verify that it’s not working for me either.
still the same today with SU7
still the same with SU8 April 2022.
Default “Scroll Lock” key will open/close the ATC window.
1 (>K:ATC) in the model behaviours XML will NOT open the window.
1 (>K:ATC_MENU_1) in the model behaviours XML WILL select ATC menu option 1, but only if the ATC menu is already open.
The following entries in fs-base/en-US.locPak (a UI local language dictionary) suggest the existence of events ATC_MENU_OPEN and ATC_MENU_CLOSE but neither of these do anything in the model XML either.

I’ve ‘grepped’ the entire set of Asobo plane-related files to see if any plane or instrument calls an ‘ATC’ event and as far as I can tell that is not the case.
I have been having an issue with ATC not working at all (other than delivering the ATIS on 124.85 even when not requested). even using the keyboard shortcut (grave `) fails to open the ATC window. This started a few months ago. I removed everything from the Community folder but the problem persists. Anyone else have this issue? All the ATC options in the Assistance menu are turned on.
I realize the default ATC is not exactly an award-winning feature in MSFS but I get bugged when something no longer works (like my aging body).
