Please help...radio stack inoperable!

[Guest]

Hi guys. I've been flying some addon aircraft lately (DF737, POSKY 767 etc) and just noticed today that my default radio stack for the Cessna Skylane etc doesn't work anymore! I am unable to change frequencys on either the com or nav radios manually. The + and - hotspots show up when I hover, but clicking the mouse doesn't change frequency. The ADF and transponder will allow me to change the frequency up (+) but the down (-) hotspots don't appear anywhere.I must have loaded some gauges that screwed this up. Does anyone know what files I must replace to fix this? I'd rather not reinstall the whole program as I have quite a few aircraft installed which have added stuff to the gauges folder...so backing up just the aircraft folder won't really work well.Please help! :)

Very odd indeed. I'd try installing the lastest version of FSUIPC. If that doesn't work, try deleting your FS2002.cfg file in your MAIN FS2k2 directory. FS2k2 will build a new one on its next boot-up and all yu have to do is reconfigure all of your settings. This has been known to fix oddities that pop up in FS2k2.Ryan-Flightpro08 :-cool VATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Controller 1 (C-1)SAN TRACON Lead [link:www.taxiwaysigns.com]Taxiwaysigns.com Scenery Designerhttp://members.cox.net/santracon/images/san_logo.jpg-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 30.30 Drivers)512MB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition SP1*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*3dMark2001SE Score: 11298

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately they didn't work. I have the newest FSUIPC (2.91 ?) and tried deleting the fs2002.cfg...same problem. :(

It sounds as if you are using another aircraft.cfg file with changed &l;Radios&r; section.Any chance this happened?It should look like the following:&l;Radios&r;// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slopeAudio.1=1Com.1=1, 1Com.2=1, 1Nav.1=1, 1, 1Nav.2=1, 1, 0Adf.1=1Transponder.1=1Marker.1=1Also, one thing that's always driven me nuts, and shown MS's quality control: look at how they've spelled "available". Just an observation. ;-)If that's not it, are you using the default panel? Checking the Bendix_King_Radio.gau file, does the date look right? Mine's version 8.00.010919.01, dated: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 6:00:42 PM.

Thanks a bunch Scott. I will check that tonight. It's not just one plane either...seems any plane which uses the standard Cessna radio stack has the problem. I bought the SF.260 last night (which uses the regular stack) and noticed it didn't work. So I loaded up the Cessna Skylane and it was broken there too :( Fingers crossed it's that simple, or maybe just a bad .gau file. Thanks for the file name, I'll try replacing that too...

Scott you rule. Somehow one of the panels I installed must have downgraded the version of the radio .gau file...it was FS2000 version! Replaced it with the one on the CD and it works perfectly now. :) :) :)

Nathan,Glad to read it. When all the panels have the same problem, it's usually the gauge. ;-)This is why I never include default gauges in my panels (well that the megabytes of wasted DL time :-lol).
