Some Initial Questions

Featured Replies

I spent about 6 hours this weekend flying around on short-haul trips (about 1 hour each way) and I have a couple of questions:

  • Is it possible to use the second radio stack? I was always using the first one and was wondering how to get number 2 to work?
  • I was wondering what the test switch does on the NAV section of the radio stack. A hand appears but I have no idea what happens when I push it?
  • There is a traffic button on the EFIS panel and when I push it I get a circled section on the display. What purpose does this serve?
  • I would push the waypoint button on the EFIS panel and nothing would appear. I would go from 40 to 80 miles on the scale and then all the waypoints would appear. I then switch back to 40 miles and they are all there. Why did they not appear the first time?
  • At night the bright switch on the overhead panel seems to be too bright and you loose the actual switches/knobs in the light. Is there a rheostat or is it all or nothing on the lights?
  • I would occasionally get the ident signal coming over the speaker and I cannot remember what radio I had tuned. How do you turn that on/off?

This is a really great aircraft. Kudos to the designers. Please don't ever forget us FS9 folks. John

It might help if you at least mention what aircraft your using :(

If I remember correctly, you can hit shift L (or maybe it was just L) and this will cycle through the different lighting modes. I typically use the darkest setting. I don't use the overhead light for the same reason, to bright.
