<![CDATA[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 > 2

This 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?

I like a good challenge (hence I bought this plane ;-))

Next time I have a look in the SDK documentation.

I don't recommend it for your sanity 🙂

Let me know if you need any help with your programming!

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!

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.
