About the uns1 in F28 and tune page
-
@Mark , thank you for reply and fair enough. I would imagine that the only IRL-compatible way would be to remove the ADF and/or VOR controls for TUNE page to make sense and indeed that would likely involve more 3d & texturing changes than it's worth.
But to be honest, I would love even the option to stick "inop" stickers onto the analogue controls (think pmdg/fenix weather radar style) to have the TUNE available
So I will hope -
You can manipulate the ADF TUNE button by using MSFS INSTRUMENT NAME TOOLTIP (in MSFS general options > accessibility). Yes it isn't very beautiful, but at least you can fly NDBs like this, and it is working fine until Asobo is offering an alternative to JF team and others

@AlexEtz the tool tip is way too ugly and it affects not just one switch (which I could tolerate), but all of them. A 'decent' solution would be to add a page to EFB, but that would of course be a very big "sim-ism" + anyway not "user-friendly", so I will hope for some sort of an FMC integration
-
I get your point. On my side, I just decided to use the tooltip because I wanted to use the real gauges of the bird... I guess it is a question of point of view
@AlexEtz totally! For now I have been using a workaround of displaying the frequency on my StreamDeck

@knidarkness The TUNE page displaying "PAGE INOP" is correct for the 146 and I suspect would be correct for the F28 also, as they both have analogue radio controls in the cockpit that are used to tune the respective radios. I believe the TUNE page in the real UNS-1 is only activated on aircraft that don't have those analogue radio controls, so the UNS-1 would then serve as the only method of changing the radio frequencies.
We fully appreciate the ADFs can be quite fiddly to tune in the F28 though, so we'll certainly investigate what possibilities we have with the TUNE page once we come to integrating the UNS-1 into the F28 Professional.

It's difficult to give an exact timeframe but I would say months rather than weeks. The next update to the F28 Professional will be a larger "Version 2" style update as we have recently done for the 146 Professional, so there is a lot more content coming than just the UNS-1. Lots of developers and moving parts involved, so it could be sooner if all the moons align.

As it’s now August, and three months from the last word on the time, when months in May, did you mean more or less than 6 months?
-
We don't have a firm release date set for the F28 V2 update just yet but our target is certainly less than 6 months. There has been some significant progress made in the last few months and we will be sharing more information on what will be included in the F28 V2 update very soon.
