Hi Pilots

I am having difficulty with squawking I can not select the different modes

available as a result cause problems with ATC when on line.

Does Squawk mode C mean that it is transmitting the code ?

I try to go to select the other mode with the mouse but no go.

I would apprecate [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance in solving my problem so that I fly on line

 

My email is middletonfrances@yahoo .com

 

Thank you Richard in Darkest Africa :

to put it simply

 

Mode C = On

 

STBY = Off

 

IDENT = Flash

 

if when you try to select mode C it goes back to STBY. that means your panel is controlling your transponder mode. youll need to do it from your aircraft panel instead.

What's kind of irritating on my configuration is that selecting "alt" on my airplane panel does NOT update SquawkBox. I've nearly taken off with mode C off in SB since I see the airplane panel showing alt/Mode C, and forget that SB defaults to non-Mode C.

does it happen with all your aircraft or just one aircraft? in some just switching it to alt wont do it, you may see another option like mode S or somethin, thatll do it

 

all depends on the panel. most freewares wont do it, paywares on the other hand will

I've only got the one airplane with that option, I don't recall seeing it on the others that I fly. It's a payware, but wasn't an expensive one (Carenado).

Hi Richard here

It only happens on a 737 400, the panel I downloaded from flightsim, I should have tried other aircraft right away, I quess I will have to look for another panel, pity because when I downloaded it the info said it was the best yet. Thanks a million for your help Brian, I am of the opinion that flight simmers are special people. Richard in Darkest Africa

none of the carenados do it it. unless you add the reality XP mod and use the RXP transponder

Richard back again I have solved the problem but now I do not get the little Squelch signal on the Rx when selecting radio freq, this little signal verifies that it is ok Yes I now know that squawk box will not work on all aircraft
