Brandon Duncan Posted June 23, 2018 at 11:43 PM Posted June 23, 2018 at 11:43 PM This is a first for me. Before I forget I always run vPilot as admin, and in this instance I shutdown vPilot and re-started it but neither helped. So a VATSIM supervisor told me to post the problem here as he helped me as much as he could: First of all I tried some ".com1 122.800" commands the supervisor told me to try but that did not help. I dialed the appropriate freq into the captain's side Comm 1 radio but it would not change the Com 1 freq in vPilot. However when I changed the freq on the co-pilot's com radio, vPilot's Com 2 freq did change, but I could not use it because Com 2's Tx and Rx were grayed out. If someone needs screenshots, I have 2 of them. Help would be appreciated. Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted June 24, 2018 at 12:27 AM Posted June 24, 2018 at 12:27 AM Which sim, and which aircraft? Were the radios powered? Was the mic button engaged? (Applicable to at least the PMDG 747.) Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Duncan Posted June 24, 2018 at 12:32 AM Author Posted June 24, 2018 at 12:32 AM FSX SP2 in the PMDG 777-200F. Radios were turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted June 24, 2018 at 02:04 AM Posted June 24, 2018 at 02:04 AM I don't know about the 777, but in the PMDG 747 at least, if the captain's mic switch isn't engaged, it will simulate a radio that can't transmit by way of setting COM1 to a fake frequency (136.975 or something?) and locking out any changes made via either the simulated tuning dial or via the dot-command in vPilot. Not sure if that is true also for the 777 but it's the closest thing I can think of to the described symptom. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Duncan Posted June 24, 2018 at 09:19 PM Author Posted June 24, 2018 at 09:19 PM Thank you for the reply. The captain's mic was hot. Both captain and co-pilot radios were set the usual way when you set the 777's status to long turn around after you first initialize the 777.
