[Inputted assigned transponder code, but flight plan does not show as activated?]

Could be an issue with STKP, make sure you are setting your departure time within around 20 minutes of what you are actually planning on, that is my rule of thumb and I have never had an issue with it. If you do it too soon, it might not take it and think it is too late to activate,  id suggest just updating the time on the actual poscon website, and personally I do everything on the website and it works like a charm, try doing one entirely on the website, then proceed with trying to activate it again. That should work, if it does not, I suggest potentially reinstalling poscon, and making sure you are on the latest version. (current: beta v8)

Id love to help you in any way I can,

I do set my departure time to 15-20 minute for departure, and I am usually off the ground by that time. I have my checklist for every plane timed out to how long it will take me.  I am then getting my squawk code and click mode c.  I am then taking off.   I can do a whole flight with it NOT activating my flight plan at all.   I have been having this issue from day one when I finally figure out how to fill out the flight plan correctly, thanks to your help on discord.  However, I have done numerous flight and maybe only one was with an activated flight plan.  Yesterday I i reached out on discord and one of the ATC guys said that he could see me and could read my flight plan and had no idea why it was not activating.  This is one of the many reasons I am not a fan of POSCON, but I want more realistic ATC and I am not giving up, yet.  

I did uninstall and reinstall after you posted about the new CPDLC thing. and mine shows I am on v8 but I do not get the same things you showed in the youtube video.

I have been having this same issue for the last several flights.   I have my flight plan filled out by Simtoolkitpro and I change the time so that is at the time and hit submit and I get a plight plan pending activation.  I contact ATC and out in the code KUSA and my flight number FFT1136 and get my squawk code.  Enter in my squawk code and turn it to ta/ra for take off and take off, usually a little past the time on my flight plan.  I finish the flight and the flight plan is still pending activation.   What am I doing wrong,again?
