Transmitting on Com1 or Com2 in Xplane 11 works ok?
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2018 10:49 pm
So I was watching the I-1 rating video that Keith did some time back (2016).
He mentions an issue in xplane 10 - that in if you wish to switch the box you are transmitting on using the airplane intercom buttons that does not switch correctly as it should. The work around described by Keith is to have a key map to switch it when using pilotedge.
I hadnt been using com2 in xplane with pilotedge at all so far, but as I am now about to start the i ratings I figured it was important to get this working properly.
I just did a quick check for the first time on xplane 11 with a Seminole and I did a radio check on both box1 and box 2 with different frequences at KVNY (ground and clearance) using the airplane intercom. (Thank you to the controller that helped me if you are reading this)
I didnt play with any keyboard mappings and use the fire button on the joystick to transmit and it worked just fine.
So just a quick check that this issue described by Keith is resolved in xplane 11 so you dont have to do any keyboard mapping to switch box to transmit on as it seems to work fine for this quick test I did.
Thank you
