Logitech/Saitek Radio Panel+Maddog MD82 not working properly

Featured Replies

Hello,

i try to get the Maddod working with the Logitech Radio Panel.

It's looking good for Transpoder Code and Comms. Sadly the NAV Frequency won't work. It shows the current NAV Frequency but i cannot manipulate it. Any idea?

Thanks

The plane is probably not reacting to the default events. That is quite common, especially in MSFS.

Leonardo provides a document about their custom commands "List of Commands.pdf" - should be somewhere near the aircraft manuals "\Documents\Maddog X Files\Docs"

You would probably have to script this to get an INC/DEC functionality.

For example, the document says "KEY NAV1 FREQ SET                        69633                  0x11001"
That would mean that you can write a new frequency with nnnnn (>K:#69633)
Problem is, that K-Events can only transmit integer numbers - so a frequency value of 131.250 cannot be set this way. This is probably some kind of integer or BCD encoding, like in the sim itself, but I can't find anything about the format in that documentation.

OK, so here is a nice trick:

Create an RPN script with this code:
(LISTEN_FOR_K:NAV1_RADIO_SWAP)·(A:NAV·ACTIVE·FREQUENCY:1,·Mhz)·100·*·dec2b16·(>K:#69633)

Assign this to your aircraft as an "Aircraft Automated Script", One Shot, Beginning.

Then you can use the radio panel normally = dial in the standby freq, and when you press the swap button, it will be set in the cockpit of the MD too.

(I just remembered that I did the same thing for the AP altitude in the MD)
