Comms Issue - Changing

[cchiozza 106]

I have the Copilot setup to change the comm freq. and they change to correct freq then immediately change back? I dont get it. I am using the Logi radio stack

That's an issue with the aircraft not allowing external programs to change its frequencies.

Some have an option to allow this or a setting in their ini files.  Others just don't allow it.

Ahhhh, Got it. Thanks Why would a dev ever want to not allow that is beyond me. Steve Jobsish

Tried both the pmdg737 and the fenix and once in the air you cannot change the freq???? That makes no  ********* sense. Because MSFS cannot make an ATC program we get no ATC?? Seriously?

PMDG works fine for me. Even the AI pilot can change the frequency. It's not a problem at all with P2A or PMDG. Can't speak for Fenix, however. 

I would suggest asking on the PMDG forums or the official MSFS2020 forums if you're having problems with this.

This has nothing to do with P2A. It's (your configuration of) the Logitech radio panel conflicting with MSFS, P2A, or both.

Ok I give how do I fix it. I unplugged the Logi Radio and same thing. Would love to know how make it stop. All standard config as far as I can tell. Just plugged it in.

In your p2a  settings in  config   p2a  set up  have  you got   the  ignore avionics  checked?  i  havnt  got  your  logi  radio   stack  so that will be  your  issue

I do not have ignore avionics checked. I will reconfirm. Thanks...

I tried checking the ignore avionics and still the same thing using b737. See video below

Ignore Avionics really only affects whether or not P2A can sense that the radio is turned on.

The video shows that P2A makes the change and then it is changed back.  This is the behavior I was mentioning before when the aircraft doesn't allow the external program to control the radio.

Likely you will be able to change the frequency from the cockpit.

You can try the default Beechcraft Baron and it should work correctly.

Thanks Dave, I thought I read where other folks were able to get it to work...Thanks

Dave, I guess there is something else going on when I change the frq manually in the plane, same thing happens...
