Can't activate Mode C from within FSX

Hello, I am new to Vpilot as well as VATSIM as a whole.

 

My problem is that I cannot make Vpilot to squawk Mode C or flash ident by interacting in the virtual cockpit. I've tried in PMDG 737 and 777, Aerosoft A320 and Majestic Dash 8.

I have to tab out of FSX and activate mode C in the Vpilot window (which works fine).

 

Changing the radio frequencies and what radio to transmit/recieve on works without problem from within FSX.

It should work in the PMDG 777 and in the Majestic. For the PMDG 737, depends on if you have the NGX or not. If you do, it should work. It will not work in the Aerosoft A320, because it doesn't implement the required FSUIPC offsets.

 

Do you have FSUIPC installed?

Ah, I was under the impression that fsuipc was not needed for Vpilot. I installed it and can squawk from within the 777 and the Majestic now. But for some reason it still doesn't work with the PMDG 737NGX.

 

EDIT: After registering FSUIPC and downloading some .lua-fixes the 737NGX mode c and ident buttons work now.

 

I also downloaded a lua file for the accu-sim C172 which made it possible to activate mode C within that as well. However, the in-cockpit ident button won't work in this particular aircraft.

FSUIPC is not needed or used by vPilot, but it is needed to bridge the gap between SimConnect (which vPilot does use) and the transponder gauges on some add-on aircraft like the ones you've mentioned.
