Frquency display after "swap"

[pgom01]

Hi Pete,

I am trying to make a radio panel using FSUIPC with SIOC and with tipical behavior of frequency management (select new freq on standby and then swap)

I am able to change the frequency using offsets 311A, 311C, 311E and 3120 and also do swap them with offset 3123.

My problem is, although they change when swapping (by the behavior of radio nav and looking in log of FSUIPC) the only change in the radio stack displays of MSFS2004 is the com1 active. All the others stays with previous frequency.

There is any offset to make it refresh the others, any configuration, any trick?

Many thanks

Paulo

Really? Are you saying that the radios are actively using the new frequencies, yet the (default?) FS gauges aren't updating to show them? If so that really sounds like a problem in the panel or the FS installation. The radio gauge most certainly gets its values from the same place as the part which detects reception.

In older versions of FS, after changing the frequencies, you had to write values to one of the offsets 0388, 0389 or 038A -- but that was to make it re-scan the database to locate the radio transmitters, not to update the gauges. The latter are supposed to get updates automatically, at the frame rate or better.

There is any offset to make it refresh the others, any configuration, any trick?

No.

How are you actually determining that the new frequencies are actually being used? It sounds to me that you are not actually sending the Swap commands. Can you log the IPC writes to check what you are doing?

I've just tried all 4 standby radio offsets here, and swapped them all both individually AND together via 3123. I am using FSInterrogate2, and the default FS9 737, with the radio stack showing. Even writing all 5 offsets together, setting and swapping en bulk works fine.

Please also ALWAYS state the version number of FSUIPC when asking questions about it. If you are not using at least 3.85, please update. You may want to also check the version I am using, available in the Updates announcement above.

Hi Pete,

As you suggest i pointed in the direction of FS2004 configuration problem and found that the problem only occurred with one add-on aircraft that as the radios in the main panel (Seneca II).

Unfortunately this was my default aircraft....

With all the others i tried it works ok so will use them instead.

I wrongly reported the problem as a swap one but in fact it occurs also when changing any radio frequency other than active com1.

How are you actually determining that the new frequencies are actually being used? It sounds to me that you are not actually sending the Swap commands. Can you log the IPC writes to check what you are doing?

For this i located the aircraft in a position covered by 2 vor and checked the correct radial indication.

Anyhow i send the log of a small experience in the end Nav1 as 112.5 active and 112.10 on standby while in both aircraft panel and radio stack displays 110.10 active and 114.30 on standby

Many thanks for the help you provided

It sounds like the panel for that add-on aircraft has a bug in its coding, then. Have you checked for an update? Or else I think you should report it to the authors.
