SDK 0.23.1 - Event ID ATC_MENU_OPEN not recognized

Version: SDK 0.23.1

Frequency: Consistently*

Severity: Low

Context: Trying to open ATC programmaticaly via SimConnect. This event ID is listed in the SDK documentation here

Bug description: Unable to map sim event ATC_MENU_OPEN

Repro steps: Use of line code below:

 SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(hSimConnect, 4, "ATC_MENU_OPEN");

Attachments:

Indeed, ATC, ATC_MENU_OPEN and ATC_MENU_CLOSE events have never worked in FS2020, yet are not marked deprecated. I’ve tried with SimConnect, Gauge API (send|trigger)_key_event[_ex1]() and RPN with execute_calculator_code().

Nor is there any alternative event (or variable or whatever) to toggle the ATC window that I know of. IIRC the ATC_MENU_n events do work if the window is already open, FWIW.

I trully agree. I always had a problem trying to assigning it with simconnect. It never worked.

Yes they do
