COM1 and COM2 volumes still not included in save state

Sender46

@weptburrito OK, I see your reasoning. But why would they say in the changelog that this has been fixed?

weptburrito

@sender46 I dunno. Technically it is, IMO the problem is the on/off switch isn't turning off the power, its pretending to by setting the volume to 0.

Taking a closer look, NONE of the radios except the 530/430 have any effect on the power draw when on vs off. Even pulling the breaker for com1 is actually just setting the volume to 0...looks like a bit cheating going on in there JF ;)

Sender46

@weptburrito Hmmmm :thinking_face: , technically cheating or whatever, if it ain't realistic it ain't fixed.

Unfortunately there are various quirks and limitations to the MSFS radio system, especially when using custom-coded radios with multiple configurations (GTN, GNS etc).

Sender46

Thanks @martyn.

I am hopeful that you can work around the quirks and limitations.

Sender46

@sender46 Pleased to see this now working correctly in the latest update. Thankyou @Martyn and team.

It looks like when GPS100 is selected, the NAV radios do not work unless the COM radios are turned on.

@vcapra1 Unfortunately this appears to be another quirk of MSFS

Sender46

@vcapra1 Well spotted, but I can't think of a situation when I would have the NAV radios on without the COM radios.

@Martyn Yeah, that's understandable. You all seem to be doing the best with what MSFS provides so I can live with minor stuff like that.

@sender46 When I'm flying on pilotedge I of course have the radios on, but offline there's nobody to talk to so I basically pretend I'm flying nordo (which is perfectly legal as long as you stay out of airspace which requires comms). But turning the radio on is super easy, barely an inconvenience, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
