Continually Squawking Ident

[Craig Phillips 947617]

Hi Ross,

 

I did a short hop today in the PMDG 777, I was getting moaned at by the controller because I was continually squawking ident... I started the debug window for a short time and these are the times it shows a transponder ident state change...

I can send the whole log, if you'd like me to? Where does vPilot pick up this transponder state change from?

 

Also once I landed, bearing in mind my TCAS was still on, it stopped identing.

 

I'm not sure if it's something like the 777 that is conflicting with vPilot? Any ideas?

 

Kind Regards

The continuous ident issue is being researched. See http://www1.metacraft.com/VRC/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3313 for more info.

For now, just advise controllers you're really happy to see them and simply can't stop flashing them.

I've posted a download URL for a new version of vPilot that should fix the continual ident issue. Use the link in Don's post above to go to the thread where I posted the URL.

Thanks for the quick fix, great work! I forwarded the information to the forum of VATSIM Germany.
