Transponder Code

Featured Replies

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?

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.

Does this work at all?

 

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".

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.

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?

Thx,

 

in this case I will use FSUIPC to set the transponder when switching on the GND PWR.
