SimConnect Development
Posted: 21 Feb 2018, 03:56
I'm building my own KX155 radio, and I'm struggling to make it work with the A2A Cherokee. Specifically, it seems like the Cherokee completely ignores the standard SimConnect events, whereas the simulation variables work as expected.
What works:
Setting and getting frequencies via "COM ACTIVE FREQUENCY:2", "NAV STANDBY FREQUENCY:2", etc.
What doesn't:
When I transmit "RADIO_VOR2_IDENT_SET", nothing happens. On any stock aircraft this sets the nav 2 ident state.
If I register to receive any of the COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_INC, COM2_RADIO_WHOLE_DEC, COM2_RADIO_SET, COM2_RADIO_SWAP, etc variables, I never get a callback. I get the callbacks I expect on stock aircraft.
Unknown:
I can't find any SimConnect simulation variables or events that would let me power the radio on and off.
I'm guessing that A2A has custom SimConnect events for this stuff, but I can't find any documentation about it. I'd be delighted if someone could point me at such a document.
