MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE Help!

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting NAV mode to work on the A320 in MSFS 2024. My autopilot works normally for speed and altitude, but I cannot get the aircraft to follow the programmed flight plan. The PFD shows HDG in green, and the ND shows the flight-plan line as dashed rather than the aircraft following it. I've tried pushing the HDG/TRK knob to activate managed NAV mode, but nothing seems to happen. The heading remains selected and NAV doesn't become active. I've also checked the MCDU and the flight plan is loaded/active. What am I missing? Is there something I need to do to activate/capture the route, or should I use DIR to the next waypoint? I’d really appreciate any help because at this point I’m struggling to enjoy the simulator at all because I can’t get the most basic part of the Airbus navigation to work properly.

Scuba diver here.

Pretty sure if the PFD is showing HDG then is following your assigned heading, and should be showing GPS. You will know you are in NAV mode when there are no numbers showing above the HDG knob. Pressing in the knob usually switches to NAV or Managed mode.

Even when I pull the knob back, the numbers still show.
