Radio/navaid questions

How to work with DME hold/norm/o'ride/stby functions? I fly with FSInn, and added vasFMC gauges for Boeing CDU. Is there any information on how to tune those radios, in TinMouse panel there are many gauges for radio/nav and I have no idea if any work properly. For example when tuning 2 radios simultaneously morse code identifier mixes and unreadable. I want to set courses, or use auto-tune function. What does it mean to switch DME Hold to Norm or O'ride to StandBY. Thanks. P.S. Please advise what happends when these various functions are implemented and how to use it?

I moved this post to a new thread as it did not belong in the wish list thread.When DME hold is selected, it locks the DME to the currently tuned navaid on that radio, allowing the freq to then be switched to another navaid, resulting in split course and distance guidance. A typical use is an ILS-DME approach that uses a DME from a nearby VOR-DME station. The VOR-DME is first tuned, then DME hold is set to override, then the ILS localizer freq is tuned, and the HSI will display course info based on the localizer, and DME received from the VOR-DME.Standby - the DME receiver is powered but not operatingNormal - The DME displayed for that receiver is whatever is tuned on the nav radioOverride - The DME displayed for that receiver is whatever was tuned on the receiver when the override was engagedThe audio panel is also functional, and if you don't want multiple navaid idents mixed togather, you have to deselect the unwanted audio inputs.

I have a question. Are INT, HF, PA, Serv INT, Range implemented? How to use ANT/ADF, and TONE ADF versus ADF on ACP? How to set Course for NAV2? Thanks in advance. P.S. What does EQUIP light mean - under HYD PUMPS panel?

I have a question. Are INT, HF, PA, Serv INT, Range implemented? No. How to use ANT/ADF, and TONE ADF versus ADF on ACP? Not sure what you're asking here.How to set Course for NAV2? NAV2 is only displayed on the RMI (with the source selector in VOR)P.S. What does EQUIP light mean - under HYD PUMPS panel? That's the door open light for the equipment doorRegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

how is the DME hold function implemented. As far i know isn't a standard FS feature. One great use will be for CIVA ins DME update but doesn't seems to work that way.Alex

No, the CIVA can't make use of the DME hold data, as is it's synthesized with an internal function of the 'mouse gauge system. To do a DME update on the CIVA INS you'll have to have the update DME tuned in "Normal" mode.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO
