June 15, 201213 yr Hi, I've a minor problem. I want to have my PMDG 737NGX come up with transponder code 2000 after powering up. I start up with "FSX Startup for Complex Aircraft.FLT" and so I've modified the [Avionics.0] section by changing "transponder=1200" to "transponder=2000". If I startup with a panelstate where the aircraft is powered up with GND PWR everything works fine. If I startup with a panelstate where the aircraft is CLD and DARK, the transponder code reads 1200 after powering up. Is it possible to start up with a CLD and DRK Cockpit having 2000 in the transponder after powering up? Foreman
June 15, 201213 yr Thats because the transponder code, like a lot of other stuff, loaded from the NGX panel state. You should save a state with 2000 and make it the default one... in the FMC Settings page Sagi Yanay, VATIL NGX Driver
June 15, 201213 yr Author Thats because the transponder code, like a lot of other stuff, loaded from the NGX panel state. You should save a state with 2000 and make it the default one... in the FMC Settings page I tried that already. With frequencies it works. With the transponder code not! There is no transpoder setting in the panel state file.

Go into your FSX.CFG file (%AppData%\Microsoft\FSX) look at the line "SITUATION=", it probably has "X:\Users\Name\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\default flight". Go to the file, and change the line "Transponder=1200". Luke Harvest
June 15, 201213 yr Author Would somebody check something for me? Are anybody able to change the transponder setting, when starting up with a CLD and DRK cockpit and switching on the battery (no GND PWR) only? I'm not able to change the transponder code! I need to switch on the GND PWR.
June 15, 201213 yr You can't change it with battery only. I also tried lots of settings to make the XPDR code 2000 appear instead of 1200 to no avail. I never managed to get the MD-11 to start cold and dark in FSX, i have to load a C&D panel state to do that. Some settings seem to be "hardcoded" with these PMDG birds?

June 15, 201213 yr Author Thx, in this case I will use FSUIPC to set the transponder when switching on the GND PWR.
