Com 1 and Com 2 Technical Issues

Post by skyhigh »

Hi,

I'm running XP11. I'm able to transmit and receive on COM 1 but for some reason, even though COM 2 is audible, I am unable to transmit on COM 2.

What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

I know nothing about X-Plane, specifically, but in the real world "Audio Panel" there is a switch that allows the pilot to switch between "Transmit Comm 1/Transmit Comm2/ Transmit Both" I fly FSX (still) and in the control menu there is a provision for assigning a button, switch or keyboard key for either comm1 or comm 2. Same for FSUIPC (which is what I use). In my cockpit I built my own Audio Panel from Cockpit PhD parts, and I have a rotary switch that I can switch from transmitting on radio 1 or 2. I have not found a way to transmit of both simultaneously (at least in FSX?FSUIPC) as in some RW units. I don't know if this is possible in X-Plane. I you're curious, for pix of my cockpit see

Hope this helps.

Moving this to the xplane forum. This is covered in this sticky post in that same forum regarding how to transmit on com1 vs com2: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5690
