2.1.5 in P3D V4 - no remote tuning of COM radios

Just installed 2.1.5 in my new P3D V4. Running in HOST mode on the P3D V4 computer, and REMOTE(VOICE) mode on a networked laptop. Everything works fine, except when I click on an online controller on the remote instance, it does not tune the COM radio on the P3D machine to the controller's frequency. I DO get the controller's ATIS text status message on the remote CP. If I manually tune the radio in the sim to the controller's frequency, I will hear the connection chime on the remote, and I am able to send and receive voice coms with him.

 

I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned a joystick button for PTT on the HOST computer, and pressing it does p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] the PTT command along to the remote.

Uhm ... unless I'm getting senile and forgot that I wrote such a feature, that has never worked. You need to tune your radio panel or use the dot commands.

I could have sworn it did, but it has been a long time (a couple of years) since I last used VPilot, and I'm obviously mis-remembering how it worked.

 

In that case, I'm happy to report that it is working perfectly in all regards, with P3D V4, running the client on a networked laptop.

 

Now begins the search for AI aircraft models compatible with the new 64 bit sim...
