Mapping a button to activate the radios channels

[nigelkazanji]

Hi Team.

I am trying to map a button in FSUIPC4 on any of my saitek gear so it will activate any of the radios buttons such as NAV1 or NAV 2 instead of having to click on the screen to do so 

 see a snapshot of the Cessna 172SP radio button I am referring to.

s there anything like this in FSUIPC4?

kindly advise

Hi,

if it is a stock AC you will find controls to do so, i.e. for the stock Cessna 172 those are:

COM1_TRANSMIT_SELECT
COM2_TRANSMIT_SELECT
COM_RECEIVE_ALL_TOGGLE
RADIO_VOR1_IDENT_TOGGLE
RADIO_VOR2_IDENT_TOGGLE
MARKER_SOUND_TOGGLE
RADIO_SELECTED_DME_IDENT_TOGGLE
RADIO_ADF_IDENT_TOGGLE

Are the buttons on your saitek gear recognised by FSUIPC? If so, you can use the controls provided as Thomas says. However, usually saitek gear are not standard HID devices and are not recognised by FSUIPC and you need additional software/drivers to use them. Not the saitek drivers/software though, as these cause issues. You should look into using either SPAD (free) or SPAD.next (payware).
