Second com unit set to COM1/NAV1 w GTN

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey guys,Very nice plane, one issue I noticed is when the GTN (650 in my case),  The second default com/nav unit which should be set to Com2/Nav2 is actually set to Com1/Nav1, thus competing with the GTN when tuning frequencies. 

PS, any chance to add an Avionics master switch?  The GTN has now power switch of it's own, relying on the aircraft's Avionics bus to regulate power.   

Cheers
TJ

	Hi TJ, I've had a look here and it appears that the problem is caused by the GTN 650 defaulting to being COM2/NAV2 rather than COM1/NAV1. The second default unit (KX 175) always acts as a COM2/NAV2 radio, although like the real aircraft the label says COMM 1 with a chalk(?) marking correcting that to say COMM 2 - that might not be clear from a distance though. To resolve this issue, open the Flight1 GTN config tool, select the Arrow from the aircraft list, select the 'GTN 650 UNIT 1' tab and then change the 'Radios' option to COM1/NAV1. Alternatively, open up the F1GTN.ini file in the \SimObjects\Airplanes\JF_PA28_Arrow\ folder and make this change: [GTN650.1] Radios=0 We'll include this change in the next update. Thanks Martyn
