Transponder mode switch returns wrong numbers
-
Thus far I love the Commander 114 and I'm impressed by the visual and technical quality of this aircraft and its behaviour. I have most of the Black Square products and I can see Black Square has again raised the bar! Not only in term of quality but also the choices of (vintage) instruments and other equipment.
I discovered some oddity while assigning the KT76A transponder mode knob to one of my Saitek Radio Panels (in SPAD.neXt): the values of the variable A:TRANSPONDER STATE:1 do not correspond to the different modes in a logical way:
OFF > 0
SBY > 1
ON > 3
ALT > 4
TST > 2This way programming is more complicated then necessary when it would just be 0,1,2,3,4 instead of 0,1,3,4,2.
Is this intentional or did I discover some mixed-up bits? -
Glad you're enjoying the aircraft! That's always music to my ears. Nothing I can do about that SimVar for you though, I'm afraid. That's how it's been within the simulator for probably 35 years.

Thanks for your quick response. That's one of your qualities I always appreciate.
That is very clear then, I didn't know about that. Next time I have a look in the SDK documentation. I guess I have to dive into some serious programming then
Thanks again! -

I don't recommend it for your sanity
Let me know if you need any help with your programming!

I'll give it a try. I like a good challenge (hence I bought this plane ;-))
