October 1, 20232 yr Hi all! Please let me declare in the first instance, that i am in no way a computer genius! I switch the computer on, i play games, i switch it off. That is the extent of my computing prowess! Lol. Anyway, its been nearly 24hrs since trying to set the 4 rotary knobs on my StreamDeck Plus to tune radio frequencies, and im no closer to achieving it. (I will eventually like to be able to do transponder codes aswell). 1. Anyone know how this can be done? Is it possible to just use an AAO variable to make the changes im looking for? 2. Can the frequency be displayed on the little indicator on the streamdeck plus screen? What I envisage is 2 knobs for the captains/VHF1/Comm1 frequency tuning, and the other 2 knobs for the FO/VHF2/Comm2. I managed to use (my paid version) of Axis and Ohs to determine the name of the variable/s that !I THINK! are the ones i need, which are: Capt side panel 72607 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC 72608 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC 72707 COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC 72708 COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC FO side panel 84207 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_INC 84208 COM_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC 84307 COM_RADIO_FRACT_INC 84308 COM_RADIO_FRACT_DEC Thanks for any and all assistance

That is a problem then. Nobody has to be a genius though, just reasonably proficient. What are you using at the moment StreamDeck wise, the profiles made by Guenseli? You can get those on flightsim.to, but I don't think that he modelled a radio. Maybe he will add one if you ask nicely? I'm not sure, but I think that the PMDG radio will react to the default K: events too. Those from the PMDG SDK would be used like this; "K:#72607" Edited October 2, 20232 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

Indeed im using Guensli's wonderful profiles, and indeed, he didnt make radio's. After another 12hrs of tinkering, I have finally managed to break through and use the dials to tune radio's, and have those frequencies display on the buttons. I also have the Transponder mapped aswell. After a few hours, I finally realised I had to delete the "BCD16" part of the syntax, and index means 1="comm1", 2="comm2" and 3="comm3". I also figured out that i had to change/delete part of the comm string and replace it with "MHz" for it to show the frequency in the airplane radio tuning panel, and that i had to adjust Streamdeck to propagate the numbers out to 3decimal place. I think these variables are all default sim variables... so luckily, i didnt have to delve into how to use the rotorbrake stuff. That was DIFFICULT! thanks again

A: variables don't have a fixed unit, you usually have multiple options. With frequencies I typically use , Number or , Seconds - or whatever else works. Unfortunaltey, the SDK documentation is not clear about these matters. Neither the Unit nor the sometimes necessary index are really explained anywhere (but it is getting better with every SDK update). But the spec is always worth a look - AxisAndOhs is ultimately only a translator between your hardware and the MSFS SDK: Simulation Variables (flightsimulator.com) Event IDs (flightsimulator.com) Edited October 2, 20232 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

The flexibility it affords us is incredible! So thank you very much for all your hard work and effort!!!!! I look forward to doing EVEN MORE with it. When I finally got it all working today, I was sitting at my controls with a silly grin on my face! Thank you! I tried using "Number", but it gave me something like... 129500000 on the streamdeck, for a frequency of 129.500 on the airplane. It wasnt until I did the previously mentioned changes (MHz) in the AAO string, and adjust SD to be 3dec places out, that I was able to get the SD to show properly (129.500). Not anyones fault, but thats just the way it was. Im very happy! Thanks once again! For anyone reading - HIGHLY recommend Axis and Ohs!

SPAD is a great app - but planting a plug in the support forum of a competing application is not OK. Besides, the question was about the AAO StreamDeck plugin...

That was pretty rude of that user. I was referred to Lorbi by another happy customer. And now im happy. Very happy. Thanks!
