So reason I'm posting this is while I was flying When I checked the radio I wasn't connected to Unicom when I was supposed to. Remember to always check if you are connected to Unicom.

Remember when good ol' FSUICP always had a Unicom tab that was constantly connected to anything happening on 122.80 and you didn't have to tune anything

 

I've done the whole "Type on Vpilot with the radio Com1 set to 122.80" thing, then looked down to realise my PMDG 777's Com 1 radio is unselected and I've been transmitting on 136.975 or something lol.

 

The other good one is the LDS767's Elec Hydraulic switch can turn the whole radio connection in Vpilot off. The frequency numbers will come up, but it will never "Tune" unless the Hydraulics are on.

That means LDS connected the hydraulics switch to either the master switch or avionics switch variable in simconnect.
