Switching Com1 Com2 transmit with physical button

Post by DDub »

I’m using P3D v4.5, Spadnext and two saitek radio panels. The aircraft is A2A C-172. I can use the mouse to “turn” the com1 com2 mic (transmit) knob on the audio panel. I’m trying to move to buttons and switches and away from the keyboard and mouse. Anyone know how to set a button or switch to select com1 or com2 transmit. Any yoke, FIP, etc button will do. Thanks.

Hello DDub and welcome.

You can find find the list of custom panel variables for the 172 here, including the "STBY" buttons to switch between standby and active frequencies on the NAV and COMM radios.

I'd guess that most pre-defined SPAD.neXt profiles available for the 172 on their site already include these assignments, so might be worth trying one if you haven't already done so.

Thanks,

Thanks Nick for the list. That’s exactly what I needed. In addition to programming Com1 and Com2 transmit, I also added XPDR Ident.
