Keith (or anyone else that knows)....
I have noticed in your videos that it appears you are able to tune radios by moving your mouse cursor horizontally. Is this a “plug-in” or a standard X-plane feature that I just haven’t stumbled upon yet?

Re: X-Plane Radio Tuning
Ken,
That's a 'manipulator' feature that is only supported on certain aircraft. The CRJ and JS31 that I've been using lately both have that capability.
Another option I've used is to map CTRL up and CTRL down to 'radios/com1_stdby_coarse_up' and '...coarse_down', and CTRL left and right to com1_stdby_fine_up and fine_down. That way, I can tune the stdby freq entirely from the keyboard. I have a joystick button to activate the stdby freq.

Thanks Keith,
It never occurred to me that it was a feature of the aircraft. I will play around with some of the mapping options that you suggested.
By the way, great job on those videos. I love your new Jet Stream but I doubt that my laptop (or it's pilot) can handle it.
