Morten Steen Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:22 PM Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:22 PM Gents, I'm pretty sure I've overlooked something, as in my P28A I can only transmit on vPilot if I select COM2 radio as the active. COM1, controlled by the GNS530, does not work no matter what I select or de-select on the radio panel. vPilot says something in red about no frequency is tuned. COM2 works a charm. I'm running vPilot networked on a laptop and I have no issues wlth all the PMDG aircraft or CS L-1011. Any tips would be greatly appreciated Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:25 PM Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:25 PM Sounds like the GNS530 doesn't properly set the SimConnect variables that are required for vPilot to detect the frequency. You'll need to use the .com1 command. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Steen Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:30 PM Author Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:30 PM Ah, thanks, didn't think about that. I have used the RXP with SB but not vPilot before, is this a shortcoming in the RXP which I didn't notice because SB uses WideFS/FSUIPC and not SimConnect?

Morten Steen Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:35 PM Author Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:35 PM I found a thread over at A2A: http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=40947 Seems to be a glitch in the P28A radio stack, and the gauge, when turning off and on the GNS gauge it works, I'll try it out.

Ross Carlson Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:37 PM Posted August 27, 2014 at 01:37 PM is this a shortcoming in the RXP which I didn't notice because SB uses WideFS/FSUIPC and not SimConnect? No, SimConnect and FSUIPC are just two different ways of reading/writing the same variables. vPilot requires that the COM radio has sufficient power applied to it and the radio status must be "active", and I don't think SB has those requirements. So that may be the problem. The RXP may not be setting the status and/or power variables properly. If you're willing to do a little testing, I can send you a test version of vPilot that does not require the radio to have power or be active in order to read the frequency.

Either that, or a fuse popped, like what happened to this fella: http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=41830#p314832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Steen Posted August 27, 2014 at 03:59 PM Author Posted August 27, 2014 at 03:59 PM Thanks guys, I'll do some testing when I'm back in the cockpit. Ross, yes please, I'll be happy to try out a test version if I'm not able to find the reason, thanks mate. I'll keep you posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morten Steen Posted August 30, 2014 at 10:45 AM Author Posted August 30, 2014 at 10:45 AM Good morning gents, I can confirm that switching off the RXP gauge, then turning power on the default COM1 stack, then switching back to RXP worked well. Thanks guys, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
