Hi,

I am using the saitek radio panel with axis and ohs, and have checked the 8.33khz box in the saitek panel config tab. It seems to connect to the sim just fine, but even with this 8.33 option checked the 1 does not get truncated and i still only have 2 decimals, the as if i didn't have the 8.33khz option checked. Does the 8.33khz option also work for the 737ngxu?

Any clue on why this is?

Thanks

Not sure, but are PMDG actually using the default events and variables? The 8,333/25 switch in AAO is the one from the P3D SDK - the developers don't have to use that/can work around it)

Btw, you can also toggle the spacing by holding down the swap button for a second.

I don't think the radio in the 737 in p3d is capable of doing 8.33khz at all, but is it possible that the radio panel just completely ignores the radio panel in p3d and only changes the values in vPilot, that way i can still use 8.33 frequencies..

No. The Saitek panel uses the SDK events to change the frequencies = the simulator variables that contain the frequency value. If PMDG overrides those variables, then that's that. Unless vPilot has an API of it's own where you can change frequencies independently from the sim?

I see.

Does axis and ohs come with it is own drivers? I know spad.next does and that’s why spad.next can send commands directly to vPilot independently of the aircraft.

Has there ever been anybody else who tried the 8.33 option with the 737 ngxu? And succeeded?

What do you mean by "drivers"? That is an asset required for hardware, not software.

I know nothing about vPilot, sorry. If it has its own joystick control, you can use the vJoy or ViGEm interfaces that AAO has to access it.

vPilot is the software that connects you to the vatsim network.

Is it possible to send commands directly to p3d without pmdg overriding it? Since p3d v5 does support 8.33khz spacing but the pmdg does not it should work if pmdg does not override it.

I know that. But I am not using that software so I have no opinion about how to control it.

That is not how this works. I suggest that you contact other vPilot users, surely there is a forum or Discord? If you can find out how vPilot actually works and where it gets the frequency from, you can make plans about how to change it from the outside - not the other way around.

 

You could write your own INC/DEC scripts that change the frequency variable(s) directly by the desired amount. That way you could change the variable without using the default K-Events. Not sure how the PMDG plane will react to that but it may be worth a try.
