Still learning the ropes here. What is the best way to quickly set the radios when in VC mode? Clicking on the knob and scrolling through the numbers doesn't seem to be very quick or easy. Especially with trackir and the radios are moving with my head! Tempting to get the Saitek radio panel but I don't think it works with FS9.

HelloOne thing you can do that will help with TrackIR is to set your middle mouse button/scroll wheel to pause in the TrackIR softwareThen you can just press the scroll wheel, the display will stay still when your mouse pointer is ready to tune the radios.I recommend the Goflight radios, much better buit than the Saitek, although a bit more expensive they will last a lot longer.

Thanks. I'll have to try that. Do I set that up within FS9 or within trackIR?Goflight modules look sweet. Although I kinda like the look of the saitek radio module. That's further down the road though.

Hello Set it within TrackIRdouble click on your profile and set it in the hotkeys tab.Also use the Optimised Flight profile for the naturalpoint members d/l sectionAnd have a read of this webpageApplies to V4 software but the principles are the same in V5This is the best in depth TrackIR tutorial I have found anywhere on the web.http://mission4today.com/index.php?name=Kn...how&kid=384

If all else fails, you can always just bring up the 2D panel for the radios and set them up that way.

Ok, I added the pause button which is a great feature. Also downloaded the optimized flight profile.Is there anyway to type in the numbers on the com frequency or the only way to get it in the radio is to scroll the numbers using "+" or "-"?

As archaic as it may sound, there are keyboard shortcuts one can use to tune the radios.regards,Joe

1. Press C to select the primary frequency numbers on Com 1 radio (the numbers to the left of the decimal). Press C+2 to select the primary frequency numbers on Com 2 radio. * Press the PLUS SIGN key (+) to increase the frequency numbers. - or - * Press the MINUS SIGN key (-) to decrease the frequency numbers. 2. Press the C key twice to select the secondary frequency numbers on Com 1 radio (the numbers to the right of the decimal). Press the C key twice, and then press 2 to select the secondary frequency numbers on Com 2 radio. * Press the PLUS SIGN key (+) to increase the frequency numbers. - or - * Press the MINUS SIGN key (-) to decrease the frequency numbers.This also works for the NAV, ADF, and transponder radios by first pressing the N (N+2 for NAV 2), A, and T keys, respectively, or by using the mouse wheel.

Hope this helps,Joe

Yep, that helps. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

Well I splurged and got the Saitek radio panel. I love it. Most peoples complaints about the knobs are true, however the benefit outweighs the negative.
