Problem solved, for now:
http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtop ... 08&t=37167

If one installs accusim patch v.1.52 AFTER the C172 Patch v.1.03 The Cessna's avionics stack is dead. reinstalling patch v.1.03 does the trick. The rest of the A2A hangar seems to be fine with that (that's basically all things accusim in my case).

*So, the accusim core patch CANNOT be installed last (in this case)*

So thnx SkipperMac (& rafgath & cflord & Lewis)! :)

Cheers,
Florian

*EDIT*: In the 2D gauge it shows that the radio stack is on or off, and by clicking on on or off the buttom on the stack moves acordingly. however, i cannot set any frequency other than the default one. Clicking on the toggle button between the two frequencies confirms that the button is pressed, however, the fraquency is not changed. *EDIT*

Flew the C172, went to the civ P51, applied core update to get ground steering back and now the radio stack is dead.

Regarding FSUIPC, is that a known issue affecting this?

Edit: It appears as if the model is running - cycling power either through the avionics switch or the unit power switch activates/deactivates the 2D popup- but the gauge itself is effectively dead.

I have similiar problem with dead radio panel.
I have only C172 from A2a installed and 1.03 update installed as well.

When trying to power up the plane from Cold & Dark according to checklist (Alt/Bat on, engine on, both parts of Avionics switch on) I finally arrive to the point when I have to switch on all the individual radios. The switches on the radios goes to on, but the radio displays are dead. See the screenshot (on the screenshot the radios are in off position, but trust they are not illumitaed in on position as well):

The only workaround I can use is via "controls" sub-panel and Auto-Start option. The radios operate properly after Auto-Start. Then I can switch the plane down according to checklist. When powering it up I can switch on the radios properly.

If you are using any third party software that changes battery behavior in FSX this could be the cause.

No such software used. Only FSUIPC, but the option extending battery life in FSUIPC is switched off.

How are you loading the aircraft. Have you tried changing your default flight?

thanks,
