FSHotSFX problems. Can anyone please help?!

Featured Replies

Hi. Given that the FSHotSFX support forum seems dead, I hope that someone will be able to help here!I love the new AI jet sounds at airports that FSHotSFX gives me, but, as has been noted elsewhere, it causes some very (VERY) annoying problems with the radio, switching the ADF on and off seemingly at random, creating sudden beeping. Normally it switches off the ADF again so it hardly matters. What does matter is that it also keeps switching off NAV1 & NAV2, so that ILS landings are now virtually impossible: as fast as I turn the radio back on, FSHotSFX switches it off again. You can imagine my curses...I did find the following (below) somewhere on line last week (can't locate it again!). Can anyone tell me under what heading the "ident=2" line goes in the FSHotSFX.ini file? I made a paragraph like this, but doubt it's correct:[NAV Radio IDENT OPTION]ident=2The writer hasn't made this clear, to me at least. Thanks a lot for any help. (Good job the sounds are so awesome in FSHotSFX, or I'd delete it!).Martin-------------------------Regarding the uncontrolable morse code beeps when using FS Hotseat on some aircraft, here is a solution I got from FSHS Support (in their words):"NAV Radio IDENT OPTION"By default, FSHS automatically manages navigation radio ident mode when radio is tuned to a new station. An optional setting "Ident" can be used to modify this behavior:Ident=0 or omitted will restore default FSHS auto ident.Ident=1 will not auto switch to ident mode but copilot will read out active station and turn off ident if you switch it on.Ident=2 will turn off all auto ident and copilot will not read out active station.Example:Ident=2Will disable all FSHS ident functions.WHERE TO FIND THE FILE/HOW TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENT:You may not find "ident" by searching.From earlier in the Help file:Add the switches below to the section of the FSHotSeat.ini (in the FSHS main folder.) If the does not exist then add it (onlyonce) and place option switches underneath it. You must restart FSHotSeat for these changes to take effect and you may have to restart MSFS....so, in FSHotSeat.ini,'Create if it doesn't exist"Ident=x "Hope this helps!
