Hiya

I have set Key controls with my keyboard to operate the radios, Inc / Dec etc etc, but I cannot get the Radios to power ( Select)

You know when you set the Freq for Nav1 you then click the Black button or you click on the NAV white button / light, I cannot seem to get this to light up to show me that it is powered on. In theory, my nav will not respond

Am I missing something? I thought if I was to set a key command for this I would just use the Nav1 STDBY command in FSUIPC.. I have pretty much tried all commands available in FSUIPC for cannot find one to power them up?

Kind Regards

Are you talking about the default FS radio stack?

If you can read and change the digits, it IS powered up -- when the Avionics power is off, the whole radio stack (COM, NAV, ADF, Transponder) is dark and non-responsive.

Maybe you are mixed up over the NAV ID button? All that does is select the SOUND from the NAV radio so you can hear the Morse coded ID it is transmitting. There are separate FS controls you can assign for the sound from COM1, COM2, NAV1, NAV2, ADF and Marker Beacons, i.e. the buttons on the sound select bar. None of those have anything to do with power. The Avionics power switch operates the whole radio stack.

It would be for the ID of the Nav radio.. Is there a command to click that?

Yes, of course. There are 4 in fact:

RADIO VOR1 IDENT DISABLE

RADIO VOR1 IDENT ENABLE

RADIO VOR1 IDENT SET

RADIO VOR1 IDENT TOGGLE

The "SET" one, like all "Set" controls, takes a parameter -- 1 for enable, 0 for disable.

I publish a list of all FS controls -- for FSX see the list in the PDF installed in the Modules folder. For FS2004 and older versions, download the list from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson
