Transponder Hotkeys feature request!

Post by skoptsoff »

Hello!
The other day i faced the next trouble:
I was just at LAX Bravo border, and ATC asked me to squawk ident. I had to exit Fullscreen, switch to PE,
find a menu option and click the Ident button then. During all this things my plane violated the LAX Bravo and get off-course.
It almost costs V3 fail for me.

So. How it wold be amazing to have an ability to press Ident and switch modes via hotkeys without exiting fullscreen in flight! :roll:

Good point. In the mean time, auto-pilot or trim might be a good idea :)

You can also say 'unable' to the IDENT request if you're task-saturated and can't swap over to the other app.

One last thing to consider is that the mini-transponder window was designed to be left on-screen at all times. If you run FSX windowed, it should be possible to have the mini-window float over the sim, as though it was part of the panel. That should make it much easier to reach in a crunch.

...or....we can have an offset for FSUIPC (not sure about XSUIPC) and program a nice button in our sim!

The STBY/NOR offset works great.

Keith do you think it is possible?

Thanks.
