Hello, mqytn-- I've been having these same simlar issues helping my dad with his flight sim, 2004. He's an experienced pilot and knows all about how everything works in real life, but we're confounded by the details of how the controls and selections work with the keyboard and mouse. All the tutorials talk about the flying stuff, but nowhere have I found a clear set of "computer" interface instructions, e.g. how to manipulate a radio knob. Does that exist somewhere? Is it specfic for each aircraft or is there something generic? Thanks!

Hello, as it turns out I'm just helping my dad learn the new interfaces in FS2004 (he flew FS98 for 20 years, and is having some confusion with the new interfaces.) He had exactly this problem, and I suspect it might be the same for FS2020. Our issue is that particular window does not have and "OK" or "Save" button, so it's hard to tell whether your selection took. We found that it was necessary to double-click the airport in order to get it to populate the departure (or arrival) fields in the flight planner. Try that and see if helps. Richie
