With the latest version of X-Pilot, is there a way to squawk normal (mode C) while on the ground. A few days ago a controller told me to squawk normal while taxiing and I could not get it to work. It automatically went to normal once I was rolling down the runway. Even turning my transponder to normal would not change X-Pilot.

The FF A320 has a 3-way selector for the transponder that cycles between OFF/AUTO/ON, as well as a OFF/ON selector for ALT RPTG (Mode C). In order to turn the transponder on on the ground, you need to set both of these selector knobs to ON.
