VC + Radio stack question

Post by AlphaWhiskeyFoxtrot »

Dont get me wrong Shockwave, you aircraft is the best i have flown, but just a couple of things...

this happens with all my addon aircraft save the B-17, when i fly in any sort of foggy or cloudy envionrnment i loose all visibility. i am not even able to see my VC panel, just white, if i swich to the "cockpit" view and turn on the 2D panel i can see better (sometimes.)
is there a way i can fix this problem?

Secondly (im probably just missing the whole point but), when i tune to a freq? on the radio stack it always tunes the active Freq so the standby is useless. if this has something to do with "Absolute Realism" then ill leave it but otherwise it would be nice to fix it.

Any help would be greatly appricated

i know what my problem is, the VC in not actually "Solid"but rather "Gas" where things like fog, clouds, even rain can go through it. now that i know what is wrong with it, how do i fix that?

Thank you in advance for you help

No, that still shouldn't be happening.... That sounds more like a graphics issue or game specific related issue as I have never witnessed this.

That is indeed quite peculiar. As for the radio stacks, I have the same issue as well.

No, this has nothing to do with the "Absolute Realizm". That's just faulty radio setup. This is modern radio stack and all its functions should work.

This is the correct radio section in AIRCRAFT.CFG file:

...

[Radios]
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1,1
Com.2=1,1
Nav.1=1,1,1
Nav.2=1,1,1
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1

...

Thanks Sir,
Interesting that the code from the P40 goes as such (The comments was origonal, not my own.):

[Radios] // availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1 = 1
Com.1 = 1, 1
Com.2 = 1, 1
Nav.1 = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2 = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1 = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1 = 1
---------------------------------------
while the code from the P51 (as example) is like this:
[Radios]
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1
Com.2=1
Nav.1=1,0,1
Nav.2=1
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1
---------------------------------------
and the Zero had no code.

thank you again for the fix ill check out tonight if it works
