2 problems with RC and my homebuilt cockpit
Hi JD, Just did a full flight to test the problems. Both occured again. I doublechecked every move with the FS 2d cockpit and radio panel. All landing gear light work correctly and so did all the gears. Same goes for the transponder, this was correctly displayed in FS radio panel.

2 problems with RC and my homebuilt cockpit
Hi JD, Gears are down in time and visable lowered in outside view. My gear handle is setup in Prosim which sends it to FS so I will check on this, but the transponder is not connected thru Prosim but directly to FS. Thanks Dennis p.s. although I am 90% sure I tried this when I tested my new pedestal, I will test with default FSX 737. And check the gear lights in the 2D cockpit and check if the transponder changes with my hardware.

2 problems with RC and my homebuilt cockpit
Both should not really matter, but I will ask on the Prosim forum too. My transponder works thru SIOC directly into flightsim, not Prosim. The jetstream flightmodel is just that,, a tweaker aircraft.cfg and air file. The 3D model is the default FSX 737. I wil try tonight with the standard FSX 737, see what happens :Thinking:

2 problems with RC and my homebuilt cockpit
Hi James, Thanks for the compliment :good: It took me 2 years to buid the cockpit. I build it from scatch, mostly MDF plates and Opencockpits panels. The overhead is from Poldragonet.Throttle is Throttletek737, pedestal is also Opencockpits panels on MDF base. The outside visuals are 2x 24" TFT's connected with a Dualhead2go. Here's a picture at the EDDL with all systems on (in Light Test mode). And the outside view of the simulator.

2 problems with RC and my homebuilt cockpit
Hi, I am using RC for a while now but I keep getting 2 problems. The first has is that ATC tells me after takeoff that they cannot see my transponder. I have a hardware Opencockpits transponder working thru SIOC and Prosim737. The right squawk code is entered as checked, and is in TA/RA mode. Usualy by pressing the ident button the problem is fixed. Still this should not happen. The second one is I keep getting go around's with the message "gear not lowered, check checklist" I do like the steak medium rare comment But the gear is down, locked, 3 green.. both in Prosim737 and in FS outside view (even in the not used 2D FSX panel) What can I do to fix these problems. Regards, Dennis My cockpit is built with Opencockpits products, interface thru FSUIPC, SIOC and Prosim 737 software.
