Aircraft Transponder Mode C/Ident and vPilot

[ahugonnett]

Hello! I have been trying rather unsuccessfully to have my aircraft's transponder mode and ident button to send those inputs to vPilot. However, after event logging in FSUIPC, see that an event is not recorded when changing these inputs in the aircraft. Is there a way to create an input when changing these settings in the aircraft? Or does this mean that the transponder modes and ident are strictly aircraft aesthetic? Thank you!

They certainly don't do anything in the sim's built-in systems implementation.  But there may be an indication internal to the specific aircraft implementation. I'm afraid i don't know that add-on aircraft so I couldn't say, but you could see if there's a local variable (L:Var) for them. You can list them using an assignable control in FSUIPC, or log them as they change using a Lua plug-in supplied in your Example plug-ins ZIP file.

Hi,

 

You could check this posting in the A2A forum: https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39914

At the the end there are mentioned two variables reflecting the transponder mode. With a little bit of LUA code monitoring these variables you could trigger the right vPilot actions.
