Hello all flightsimlovers, 

Have a problem wth v3.0.0.0 early access 0.0.29C , can not make contact with the comms in the Rotate

MD80 v 1,43 r3  (Xplane 11  ; 11,55 r2 ) . Iam doing the trial  .  Have read all the post about this issue and try it out , 

but no success.  The only workaround that works is :

Start with an default aircraft, eg Cessna 172 , start P2A and push the connect button , then select the Rotate MD 80

and start a new flight .  Now everything seems okay .

Hope there comes a more 'direct' solution .

 

In the X-Plane 737, turning off the Volume control knobs (pushing the knobs so they are not lit) before connecting works.   With them turned on, P2A can't determine which COM is which.

So, try doing the equivalent of that in the MD-80.  Let us know if it works.

Hi Dave, I confirm it will be an issue with this plane. The trick doesn’t work because the audio panel of the MD80 doesn’t have pushbuttons for the audio of each channel. It only has volume sliders and there is no way to turn a channel off. The MIC buttons had no effect on P2A either.

Dave,

Audio panel : Above the volume sliders are yellow lights , that lite up for VHF1 ,VHF2 ,VHF3 etc ,  orange light for PA etc,  but it has no further functionality . 

Conclusion: there are no push buttons to turn the comms off. 

Maybe a question for Rotate , how/where we get down the comms .

Would be great if their plane could function properly with ,to my opinion, an excellent product P2A is.

I am impressed so far during the trail . very very nice.

Update 30n does it !

Great, in update 30n the comms of the Rotate MD80 v 1.43r3 ; XP11 v 11,55 r2  are found by P2A . 

But the monitor option stays on, what ever I do .

I  have in the settings unchecked the option "bypass the comms", if  i check this , P2A don't find the comms. 

Btw : Why is it useful to monitor the other Comm , other than to receive in time the ATIS of the destination airport, in the Pilot2ATC world ... ?
