April 7, 20188 yr Commercial Member I've assigned a keypress to the transponder entry in P2A Config-Buttons tab. I assume this is just to be triggered (simple press, or a press and hold?) by the IDENT button on my transponder. True? If so will it ever be needed on my rather short flights (ess than two hours, always)? Pete Win10: 22H2 19045.2728 CPU: 9900KS at 5.5GHz Memory: 32Gb at 3800 MHz.

April 7, 20188 yr Commercial Member Pete. Glad you got the PTT buttons working. The Transponder Hot Key is not for Ident. P2A does not currently use Ident. The HotKey is for cycling the Transponder mode (Off-Standby-Acitve/Air-Test). I suspect you'll be doing that in your cockpit so you might be able to free up an F key. Dave

Yes, I have the appropriate switchery for this. How does Pilot2ATC read the mode to ensure it is getting the code? Currently it'll just be something in an offset, for ProSim mainly, and I think Squawkbox in case that's in use (I did try it for a while once). The modes are effectively Off - TA - TA/RA (i.e with altitude too) and Test. For you you'd only need to know TA and TA/RA as "active".

April 7, 20188 yr Commercial Member The mode is being read/written at offset 6D8C. It's being interpreted as off, standby, On, and Test. It needs to be in TA/RA mode for ATC to be happy.

In my list it says: 6D88-6DAF = USED BY XPUIPC!!! so generally it's avoided. It's in a "reserved"section in the main offsets list. I'll have to check what offset I currently use for ProSim ... Ah, 436F with values: 0 = Off 1 = Standby 2 = TA 3 = TA/RA 4 = Test Are those the values you use? Seems I'll need to change my PFCcom64 driver to set your offset too! No: easier to copy the setting over from one offset to the other in a Lua plug-in. I just need to know the values you expect -- or are they documented in your user guide?
