Andrej Sitar 1402754 Posted August 24, 2017 at 07:07 AM Posted August 24, 2017 at 07:07 AM Hi all, Im trying to get work VOICE communication between my default Cessna 172 and ATC. But when I dial ATC frequency inside an airplane, nothing happens.. A can see that freqency in vPilot window in COM1, but ATC cant see me on their frequency and TX, RX labes are not ON (illuminated) Everything works great e.g. with my Airbus A32X. Thanks in advance..

Bradley Grafelman Posted August 24, 2017 at 08:21 AM Posted August 24, 2017 at 08:21 AM It could be that either the Master or Avionics power switches aren't turned on. vPilot requires both of those in order for the radios to work. If you can't find the actual switches for both of those, you could try [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning a hotkey to them in the Options -> Settings -> Controls window and using that to toggle them. If that doesn't help, can you post a screenshot of the vPilot window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrej Sitar 1402754 Posted August 24, 2017 at 08:45 AM Author Posted August 24, 2017 at 08:45 AM Ok I will double-check those switches state but I bet it was ON, as avionics works and engine was running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted August 26, 2017 at 02:40 AM Posted August 26, 2017 at 02:40 AM If I understood your first post that you dialed the frequency using the in-sim radio, then yeah, your simulated radios most likely had power. Can we [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that the controller whose frequency you dialed up was one that was listed in your in-range controller list, on the left side of the vPilot window? If you look up their frequency on VATtastic or VAT-Spy or something like that, but don't see it in your available ATC list in vPilot, it means they're out of range. Apologies if these are simple, "duh" solutions. Just trying to start with the simplest explanations and work up. Best of luck! Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Schober 1328585 Posted August 26, 2017 at 08:13 AM Posted August 26, 2017 at 08:13 AM I bet it was ON, as avionics works Better don't bet on it because I remember being fooled by what seemed to be a glitch in FSX where the avionics power was off but the radios were lit and could be tuned, but no communication with ATC was possible. What helped me realize what was going on was the buzzing sound of vPilot when I pressed the push-to-talk button (the sound that also occurs when you try to transmit on an invalid frequency).

Andrej Sitar 1402754 Posted August 28, 2017 at 06:10 AM Author Posted August 28, 2017 at 06:10 AM Hey guys, problem solved by Bradley's suggestion. After loading FSX with Cessna 172 the engine is started, but MASTER SWITCH is OFF. Just turn it ON and everything works as a charm.. THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
