After recently downloading the Carenado B58 and flying on Vatsim with it, I have found the transponder will not cycle a squawk beginning with '0', all the other digits are fine however after being given several squawk codes and not being able to set them, the problem is becoming a bit of a pain, anyone know a fix?

 

Squawk codes such as '7000' are fine, but '0457' will not set. 

 

Anyone else having problems?

The transponder is another part of the Baron in which Carenado dropped the ball.  I replaced their Garmin 330 with the above mentioned freeware file.  Sad, but the freeware Garmin 330 offers far more functionality than what comes with the payware aircraft.

If you happen to have the RXP GNS530 or 430 installed, you can add an RXP transponder:

 

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Vcockpit03]
...
gauge04=rxpgns!GTX327,  174,430,326,80

..and if not, the Carenado transponder actually does allow you to set 0457 - only it does not display the leading zero,

so it will display 457.

 

A simple edit in the transponder.xml code will fix this:

 

<Element>
    <Visible>(L:MODEXTR,number) 2 < </Visible>
     <Position X="340" Y="25" />
        <Text X="207" Y="100" Length="4" Font="Glass Gauge" Bold="True" Adjust="Center" Color="#e8e65f"

Bright="Yes">
