No ATC communications

Post by CharlieS »

I’m experiencing a peculiar malfunction with F-51 Civ radio communications. Although the radio turns on, no communications are possible with ATC.

I have found that by changing acft to the Mil version, verifying ATC communication exists, followed with a change back to the Civ version, normal ATC communication is restored, but only for that FSX flying session.

I’ve reinstalled both the Mil & Civ programs followed with the most recent core update. That did not correct the problem.

So Far as I can determine, no other system(s) operation(s) have been affected.

Help!

Try to activate the MIC 1 button on the audio switch panel. There are three yellow buttons on the left of this panel. The one in the middle has to pe pushed in.

I've had my radio "die" during warmup due to low charge on the battery. It comes back if I use a GPU or whenever I have sufficiently low oil-pressure to increase RPM to 1500ish to have proper charging of the battery.

All the Accusim-planes are in my hangar, but they aren't sitting long enough for their engines to cool much before next flight!

No problem. Evertime I start the P-51 Civ from cold & dark coming from other planes, I have to remember that switch after wondering, why I can't communicate with ATC. :wink:
