VOR Ident function A320

[brynjames 0]

Is there any switch to turn the VOR ident on/off?I can use the keyboard CTL+1 or CTL+2 but I can't find the switch on the audio or radio panels.(For some reason the main 89 page pdf System Manual can't be searched by the search function in Acrobat, whereas all the other manual sections can be - why is this?)Oh, and a big thankyou for the Speedbird EGPF-EGLL tutorial flight - I'm wearing out a groove in the sky between Glasgow and Heathrow, trying to learn how to fly the Airbus again.--Bryn

I have the idents permanently switched off in the FS options -> controls -> assignments.That EGPF-EGLL tutorial is about 3 years old but I'm glad it's still useful.Rob Elliott, EGPE InvernessPSS Airbus Support andAirbus Fleet Training Captain, British Airways Virtual airbus@speedbirdonline.co.ukhttp://www.speedbirdonline.co.uk/airbus.htmlhttp://www.bavirtual.co.uk

It is a historic aviation tool that is surpassed by today's technology.Turn it off, it annoys the #### outta me too ;)Mark.

Darn it, yet another of my skills bypassed by modern technology.--Bryn
